MODERATORS
Pretty much every popular American media franchise, from films to television programmes to streaming and comic books, has firm roots in heteronormative oppression & the best you ever see for representation is surface-level. There's always backtracking to bigotry & appealing to the lowest common denominator. You can't expect any of this shit to be truly intersectional or free of discriminatory elements.
Examples of surface-level representatives:
"Here's a black woman on our film, you saw her right? We're not racist or misogynist." "Here's a gay man on our show, you saw him right? We're not homophobic." "Here's a trans man on our show, you saw him right? We're not transphobic." "Here's a nonbinary pansexual unicorn on our show. You saw them, right? We don't kink-shame."
It fucking never ends & it's all for you to buy their new shiny bullshit next time.
That reminds me, pride month is in a couple days, brace yourself for the deluge of cynical rainbow capitalism.
Didn't trump 2.0 get a lot of major corporations to pull away from the rainbow capitalism stuff?
"Hate is legal again" and all that.
Yeah gonna be real interesting seeing which companies that were all “yah LGBT” on their socials last year are mum this June.
If I had a penny for the number of days in my life I've struggled to propose a sensible way for a government to entirely abolish advertising & marketing, I'd have well into four figures in savings.
Will and Grace trashed on poor people.
Traded one for the other eh. I still haven't watched that show; I always preferred stuff from the UK, which has their own problems as a viewer like us
Ngl, I used to love Absolutely Fabulous, and The Young Ones.
