Sometimes I can’t help but think they use poc lead actors as human shields for bad filming choices. edit: that’s in the article lol.
I think the rage bait stuff took off back in 2017 when idiots started smashing their keurigs and Keurig sales increased afterwards.
On racism - I’d say intentionally profitting from and weaponising racism is racist in itself, and I hope the people at Tumblr or whoever is CEO of ‘authoritarian woke culture’ calls them out more often.
Completely agree on all points. It’s a touchy subject obviously but the results speak for themselves IMO.
The Critical Drinker on youtube pretty much speaks for me on this lol…he’s a bit more aggressive and hyperbolic about it than I might be comfortable with but yeah, he pretty much sums it up more eloquently than I ever could.
No offense to people who don’t read, but it seems like somebody with a platform like that (300k subs) should use their voice responsibly. You can have good ideas, but if you’ve never got yourself a coherent political philosophy to work from, and you don’t read or at least skim over work from experts on the topic, you’ll end up being part of the unthinking mainstream and repeating whatever people with the deepest pockets need you to say.

I agree with his film criticism and opinions on modern audiences and the new strong female character trope etc. I disagree with the notion that these things are part of a greater social/political problem.
