There must be some other reasons. Disney and Netflix are doing fine while pushing propaganda.
Disney's share price has returned to it's decade long steady state after the boom time of lockdown subscriptions has passed.
I don't do "enthusiam" .. just the bald facts.
Disney, like many other media and streaming companies in several countries, saw a COVID period boom in stock prices as more people watched media and more investors bet on streaming.
That peaked and passed, falling back to pre COVID levels in the majority of cases.
I dare say some day trading investors fumed and cursed culture wars attributing some facet of "woke" to what was a wide spread an thoroughly predictable occurrence echoed across multiple countries.
It is the usual. They propagate homosexuality, gender identity, feminism. All the bad stuff. Probably also propagation of witchcraft, if you ask more religious opponents.
(Seriously, considering Disney as progressive, is very weird in my opinion. And I think the person you replied to, did not actually think Disney is doing Propaganda, it was a mocking statement to the initial post)
And actually, I have not really seen that trope very much: "everything is better done by a women"
It surely exists somewhere, but can you give examples for this with any major production?
As for entertainment, it's entertainment. If you're referring to women remakes of films, it's not my cup of tea either, it doesn't mean that it's bad entertainment and the other half of the planet can enjoy it.
Would you rather her have not done this for you?
Destroying is easy, creating is hard.
(and raising a child in this world is as well)
"if it were not for my mother, I would give women a bit more slack."
And whatever happened, you are saying clearly, that because of one women, you see all women less. Maybe that's not fair?
Besides, since you seem to love to trigger me with just the "right" sentences:
Would you rather her have not done this for you?
For men it is easy to "make babies". For women it isn't. They usually sacrifice at least a year for it. You aren't really productive, if your brain is a hormon slurry and everything hurts. And most women do get lasting injuries from the birth, taking years to recover. (have you ever sacrifized a year for someone else?)
So it seems, she tried at least. And then maybe discovered that she does not have anything more for you. Or not much.
That is shitty and not fair. No doubt and sorry to hear that.
But that is also how nature works. There is no fairness baked in anywhere. In the end life is a gift.
You can take it, or don't.
But if you continiue to choose life, you maybe would be better off, if one day you can let go of your anger over your childhood trauma of abandonment.
Sometimes things can work out with the old family. Sometimes not, but the world is full of people looking for a real family.
But a family can only work, if the partners respect and trust each other. And sorry if I am crossing a line again (I was aware with my question before, what your answer likely would be), but I think you would have a major struggle with that, with the fear of being abandoned again, this time by your partner. Which can easily lead to jealousy, pressure, all the usual stuff, breaking up and a new generation of half or full abandoned children.
And you might have sworn to yourself, that you would never abandon your children - but when you are done, you are done. I never thought I could get there, but I was close to that point with my children. Kids and everything around it, is undescribable intense, unless everything was set up perfectly before. And I am not aware of many such cases.
Your mother was a human. Faulty, with limited energy, understanding and naivity. Likely experienced her childhood traumatas.
She tried and failed - partly. Because you are alive and can choose now, what you do in this imperfect world of ours.
And going back to the original point, maybe, only maybe, if your mother as a child would have heard more often "girls can do it", instead of "you are just a girl", she would have been able to do it the whole way through.
I rather think it made those polarised opinions more visible. The divide existed before, extremists on all sides just had less broad interaction. Now they read each other on the internet and can directly jump on each others throat. And with less restraint, than in real life, as all semi anonymous.
Imagine you're a production company working on a low-budget docudrama for Netflix where you know it will be displayed as just one more UI tile among an endless tsunami of similar low-budget dramas from around the world. Which marketing approach do you think would work better:
1) Make a historically accurate show with the little money you have, release it, and watch it sink to oblivion with a slightly below average rating;
2) Add a provocative bait that you know the most bored unemployed crowd on Twitter won't be able to resist; watch everybody talk about your show; enjoy your 11% rating because it came with massive online notoriety and a fat Netflix royalty wire for a few months.
