Great point! Same thing applies to the 24/7 "news" channels. We are spending an incredible amount of time consuming "news" that essentially doesn't affect us, and then spending additional time being upset about or talking about those things. Add that time up, over a lifetime, and it's a lot. It's not inconceivable that a lot of folks will be on their deathbeds and come to the terrifying realization that they spent YEARS of their life consumed and upset by things that never really amounted to anything, and that's really sad. It's something each of us really should be aware of.

Yes that was fucking crazy😂😂

1:15:50 This is pretty spot on. I think where the anger is coming from is this sense of changing the narrative of something that's already fine. This has happened to video games, comics, etc. The idea is, "What you like is bad because x, y, and z. This needs to change to be more inclusive", but people forget that by changing x, y, and z you have excluded your original target audience that liked the product to begin with. Most of the anger around these things stems from liking something, and not wanting it to change because it's fine as is. This also includes the whole girls in bikinis commercial. I like girls, I like girls in bikinis, I like beer. Therefor I like girls in bikinis advertising beer. When you make a commercial and tell me that I'm "bad shit" because I like girls in bikinis how do you expect your audience to react? I think the bottom line is, keep your politics out of your entertainment. This is a general rule. There are exceptions. There are good entertainment that is political or socio-political. That's fine. But when your audience wants to escape politics and enjoy your entertainment, and you push politics on it, they abandon your entertainment.

@anonony9081

There's also the general sentiment at this point that it's being forced and it's not organic at all. Race swapping one character is not a big deal but when you race/gender swap every single character you know it's coming from a disingenuous place. They didn't do it because it's interesting or because that actor happened to be the best for the role they are doing it to push their ideology

@BRLambert4

11 ай бұрын

​@@anonony9081 I hear this argument made often that it's disingenuous and so it's pushing personal politics etc but can you explain exactly what you mean by that. What politician benefits when movie roles that were traditionally white characters are cast as non-white characters? And also what's a little frustrating is that the same energy can't be found in any other character choices. This is Hollywood that we're talking about, right? It's like every other facet of capitalism all about the bottom line. Studios cast the youngest, most attractive, most physically fit, diverse, actor or actress that will get people buying tickets. Hollywood casting will always be cynical and will always be disingenuous. And I guess instead of focusing on the person who sees a character portrayed by and actor or at actress of a different race and chooses not to see that movie, I think of How movies like the Black panther sincerely affected little boys who superhero who looks like there older brothers were dads or uncles for one of the first times ever. Obviously I know that you're discussing when roles are swapped out bye and actor of a different race and not necessarily a movie like Black panther where it was an integral part of the plot but the fact that representation truly changes lives is still true. Anyway I guess at the heart of the matter the industry that we're discussing is Hollywood and to only get angry at something that is genuinely harmless makes it appear that there's something rooted inside that person causing them to react the way they are reacting that they should probably work on.
