I'm black and I'm am sick of over representation/diversity for the sake of it. When I first started hearing this push for diversity, I thought they meant hiring the best person available, but it is clear that it means less or no white people. I live in a majority white country, so there is no reason to whine if I see white people in entertainment. That should be pretty clear cut.
Also, another problem is that it has reached a point where I am hesitant to watch anything with a female, black, or hispanic cast made in the last few years because most likely it will be yet another feminist lecture, lecture about race, or an immigration lecture where there is only one point of view.
Add in the fact that they constantly push these movies or tv shows and we are supposed to love every lazy reboot.
One of the reasons I pretty much don't watch or read anything past 2014.
Honestly I think a female or minority author/director who cared about writing good stories would have a very hard time in Hollywood if they didn't push the usual left wing talking points.
Look how Jordan Peele, Ava Duvernay, etc. are treated as if they are Hitchcock on steroids.
A part of it is self-fulfilling prophecy. Not how it started, but eventually they added so much social justice worrier crap that they lost normal people, so now most of the people on netflix and that watch sitcoms are SJWs so if they don't make it over the top they'll lose their remaining audience.
Nobody that canceled Netflix because of "Cuties" or whatever else is coming back ever. Basically real-life bridge burning.
Cuties was the last straw for me with Netflix. When I cancelled I mentioned how they couldn’t shut up about race narratives.
What makes no sense is that as someone who go grew up in 80s/90s I remember shows like Cosby Show, Family Matters, and Fresh Prince that everyone enjoyed. Just like you said now a show with a largely black cast will be sjw nonsense.
I grew up in the 90s too. Loved Fresh Prince and Family Matters. Carlton, his dad, and Will Smith were amazing characters.
I can’t watch anything with black people in it now because it will inevitably be preachy. The “minority” has to either be perfect, or a victim. What about a flawed human you can actually relate to? Only the rare good shows, usually with an all or mostly white cast, still do it.
The last thing I saw with black people in it that had any real depth was Firefly. I gave up and don’t watch TV anymore though.
