How much targeted pandering can you concentrate into one show?
Shows now seem to be auto-generated from earnings and audience market-prospectives.

One of the biggest reasons I hate gamers is because they ruin the critiques of many (genuinely) terrible shows and movies because their criticisms stem from sexism and racism.

Very true, they’ve done this with the new star trek series’ too. The shows are awful, but because there are women characters(just like there always has been in trek), reactionaries hate it for that reason alone. So you get communists and reactionaries that both hate it (for different reasons), and braindead liberals that silence any criticism of it as coming from a reactionary position.
Its also sad because even the inclusion / representation nutrek does, is done in an extremely tokenist and pandering way, that insults its target audience.
Being right for the wrong reasons is just as lousy as being wrong in the first place.
Young adults’ standards keep evolving with each generation and I suspect that it’s only a matter of time (maybe before the end of the decade) before everybody is just as unimpressed with this tokenism as I am and will seek out better.
I doubt that the capitalist media will start publishing works that are in the style of Under Fire, Burn!, Salvador or Lion of the Desert in a desperate attempt to keep their services alive, but I think that it’s reasonably plausible that this half‐assed pandering will go the way of newspapers, ‘breastaurants’, GameStop, and cereal boxes in the previsible future. It’s getting old, young adults will demand better, and the business world will have more difficulty appeasing them.
