Out of sheer morbid curiosity, as an autist and a writer, things like this fascinate me. I like to know what not to do and how to avoid it where possible. That doesn't mean it's never happened to me, though, there's been a few times.
Now, I'm not talking about like gay characters in a show and you're not into that thing. I'm mean the media equivalent of receiving a great blowjob and then suddenly you get a finger in your ass that wasn't part of the original offer.
Mine is the show, The Magicians. I knew it would be lefty-leaning because that's just how the books were and the cast was diverse in hollywood's favorite way. That said, I was in for some trash and the fastforward button was for the parts I didn't like. 3 seasons in, I like the dumb plots and the sudden twists, then, the show decided to pull some stupid fucking meta and lecture the audience: Rasheed starts to lecture us that you're a racist, sexist, bigot if you don't watch/read something because the main character isn't white and male. After that, I completely skip a couple episodes, because fuck that bullshit. I calmed down and the first episode I watch, they killed the main fucking character, a white male. Series goes on, I do not. The whole fucking scene was the producers trying to guilt the audience into not rage-quitting the show by calling us bigots. After that, I decided I was never watching another syfyllis network show again, or one with a racially diverse cast, especially no Rasheeds.
I would say Westworld is a good candidate. First season was great and that was before 2016 election. I heard the script was re-written to really push feminist stuff. My last straw was in season 3 when one of the leads told the head of a crime syndicate thst she would be spared because “it’s nice to see a female in power”.
Another example on a lesser scale would be Stranger Things season 3 when they had the reformed jock and nerdy girl bonding only to subvert expectations and make her a lesbian. Typical for modern Hollywood but I read that the original plan was for them to be a couple so I’m sure they changed it to get fawning praise. I no longer have Netflix but I hear the 4th season is much better.
The 4th season of Stranger Things is actually woke trash. Dustin’s nerdy girlfriend is a tech super genius because of course she is. The police chief and Winona Ryder break into and out of the same Russian prison like three times. They gayed one of the original main characters, and he of course wants to fuck another original main character. The black dude’s little sister is hyper competent and continues to overshadow him. Mike and a bunch of other male characters function almost entirely as comic relief and a literal cheerleading squad for eleven. She continues to be a Mary Sue. It’s like wall-to-wall woke gay feminist retardation.
But the bad guy is cool and there’s a catchy eighties soundtrack, so I guess 10/10. That’s how all the “alternative YouTube critics” saw it, anyways. I won’t be taking Critical Drinker seriously ever again.
rofl, that was my complaint as well. No way these people would be that cool with homosexuality.
The “I’m a lesbian” girl wasn’t in it? I figured she would be a main Star along with Eleven, the red head, and the little sister. Wow I heard it was better but I guess that’s a low bar. I like drinker overall but I was surprised he was so positive about that one last of us episode. I barely played the game but I heard that they really expanded on the game and injected a gay romance that really has nothing to add to the series. I guess it’s fine if you had a gay romance show but I assumed that would happen.
After season 3, season 4 was a welcome change, even if it was thumbing its nose at a lot that came before. It was good. And I'm not one of those fucking morons who says "Season 3 of Picard is great, it's not like the first 2 at all, it's like real Trek" because those lying faggots are full of shit. Picard is pure shit. ST4 was a nice take and got back to the monsters and action of the first.
