From this video by right-populist and noted loser Dimmy Jore
Talking down to an audience they hate
I love when CHUDs see shit like the She-Hulk scene mocking sexist fans and go "waaaaaah they hate their audience"
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you. The rest of us do not feel alienated by TV shows calling out sexists.
The entitled manchildren are here to explain why not pandering to a hateful minority is alienating their audience
As far as he's fallen these days, MovieBob once pointing out in a very old video, from when he still worked for the Escapist, that white male nerds are getting angry that they aren't the only target audience for nerd media anymore was a formative moment for me. Probably helped stop me from going down the wrong path.
Like thats what a LOT of this rage is about. White male nerds are no longer the most special wonderful target audience and are no longer being exclusively catered too and that makes them fucking FURIOUS. And they are reacting like the spoiled brats they are.
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you.
Remember when MAGA chuds told on themselves by seeing the Galactic Empire being negatively portrayed in Rogue One and calling it anti-Trump propaganda? 
I missed that one but thats hilarious. I do remember that reaction to other things though like Wolfeinstein and Farcry uh... 6? The one with the southern cult leader.
Far Cry 5 is like the most cowardly game ever made. Ubisoft could have easily made the cult into overt white supremacists, which is how they're coded, and yet they aren't. They even don't identify as Christians. (There's a scene where a cultist slaps a Bible out of a preacher's hands and replaces it with their cult book)
And the good guys are all cops, small business owners, and little militia groups in the mountains that also wave American flags. Game is pretty fun though and has some cool moments.
One of my irl friends played and loved it and felt it qave cathartic for her religious trauma. Also considers "keep your rifle h by your side" a jam.
Isnt there a dlc or midquel or something that makes the cult leader the good guy tho lol?
Yeah I actually do like the game, but also I'll never forgive it for failing to have a concrete political message. It vaguely gestures towards the idea that you're fighting American fascists. Like a white supremacist militia, except it goes out of its way to say you're not. They're more like a Japanese doomsday cult than an American one. The enemies have much more in common with Aum Shinrikyo or the Falun Gong than any American Christian cults.
Other than how the leader will say Bible verses and they have a kind of rural American aesthetic to them. They're also kinda similar to utopian hippies
And yeah the sequel has the cult leader basically repent himself, admit he was wrong to exploit people, and it's actually a pretty neat story arc all things considered. The cult turns into woodland primitivists in a mad max world. I dug it. Pretty ok little experience.
Nah you thinking of far cry 5. 6 is where you're a guerrilla revolutionary working with farmers, workers, anarchists and old communists to overthrow a Dictator who overthrew a communist government (a shit one since the libs can't make a good game)
That sounds so cool on paper rho
It was fun to play with my critical thinking turned off
They don't have a theory of mind. We aren't part of the audience, we're more like wildlife or scenery. NPCs, y'know?
It's quite telling how popular "simulation theory" and especially "dae everyone I don't like NPCs" beliefs are among billionaires.
I met a guy practicing to be an NPC on Friday. Straight up lead with "I've been practicing my animatronic wave!" >.>
Mmmm ice cream so good!
Are chuds aware they’re not the only ones who watch movies
What do they care? They want total hegemony of content that caters to and enforces their hostile, exclusive world view.
Is he suggesting Zack Snyder or cop show writers do not shoehorn their politics into shows?
There's two kinds of thing: "thing I agree with" and "political"
Race? White and political. Gender? Male and political. Sexuality? Straight and political. etc etc
I would love to sit down and tease apart how this line of thought came to be
main character syndrome
The pervasiveness of US propaganda is not to be underestimated.
It's called status quo. Political is when you change status quo. I don't believe it's any more complicated than that.
I think that's accurate, but don't think it explains the origins of the meaning. Like, were people using the word that way in the 1920s?
It's only politics if it makes the consumer uncomfortable.
cop show writers
Seriously watch any random episode of Blue Bloods.
I would probably ask them to point to an apolitical show, mostly out of curiosity. I don't think I'm convincing anyone with this line of thought though
If the history of chuds being asked this question tells me anything they are going to answer the singe most political show in the history of television. Remember, these are the people who did this: https://nitter.net/9_volt_/status/827887491738894337?lang=en (I will never stop bringing this up).
Hahaha yes beautiful I do not get tired of seeing it
"political content"
imagine how low your standards must be to think AI scripts will be watchable, much less not any worse than whatever's happening now
Lol is Dore anti-union now? Is he still claiming to be "on the left"?
His fans certainly are. He’s just a bog standard garden variety conservative talk show grifter now. What other conclusion can you come to when all he does is JAQ himself off with crank antivaxx shit, hours long meltdowns over the existence of trans people, platform other conservative grifters and bloviate about how republicans are the true working class working against the globalist woke cabal or whatever.
Oh we know he's a right-winger, I was just wondering if he himself had realized that yet or if he somehow thinks he's still on the left.
It's this new/old trend of using left wing rhetoric to communicate right wing themes. I'm so sick of it and we aren't even into the election year.
not political: robocop
political: superhero show with one (1) side character who is hinted at maybe being gay
Jimmy Dore losers deserve to be talked down to because they are lower than pond scum lol
They're the nonpolitical common sense consumers without an agenda or a narrative so they are the only consumers that matter. 
Pretty phenomenal case of "If people tell you who they are, believe them"
but I think that's a disservice to actual children who are a lot more curious, creative, earnest, and capable of learning than an aging billionaire creep is.
hoarding the metaphorical toys and having actual contempt for children, including his own.
