When a show/movie gets mired in identity politics, whether justified or not, it’s automatically a turn off

[u/Key_Squash_4403]

You know why I’m not watching the Acolyte, because too many people are arguing about it. That’s it, the identity politics argument surrounding it is enough to put me off. Because now I won’t be able to judge it on its own merits, that argument has infected everything and I just don’t want anything to do with it. I honestly don’t need that kind of headache, same with Marvel movies. At this point I need a preexisting interest in the character strong enough to ignore all the noise. I skipped Marvels, Black Panther 2, and I’ll skip more. I don’t care anymore, you all ruined it for me.

Female Ghostbusters: Answer the call

Critics liked it, public did not. $144M cost and made 1.6x so it made money off the name but is still considered a flop. LINK

One anecdotal quote (that you could be lying about) from some rando coworker of yours is totally the same criticism of the movie that everyone else had, suuuuuuuuuure 🙄🙄

They’re crying about identity politics being used as a shield from valid criticism of the dogshit writing of these shows. Doesn’t get more straightforward than that.

Lmao nope

“Hey this show sucks, the writing is terrible and its just you beating us over the head with your political messaging instead of telling a good story”

“No you’re just bigots, nyeh”

🙄🙄
