Could you imagine a way to encourage more people to want to stream/ rent/ purchase any of these movies before they disappear forever? I can't. Any exposure is good exposure.
Oh no! if I don't have/ see it now, I may never...
Runs out to buy movie (t'have)...
Announcement of un-canceling brings more publicity
New potential market runs out to watch/buy
If you polarize a consumer base, there will be those who go out of their way to consume on grounds of their beliefs and those who reject consumption on ground of their beliefs (both side perceive validation based on their respective actions). It's just a new driver for consumer behavior.
The interesting part is that the level of consumption is higher during a polarizing campaign than the baseline (if nothing were spoken of at all).
People are wise to be concerned about this trend. Few movies would pass purity tests currently being applied. It's not just the racial stereotypes that will be targeted, but anything and everything representing the old order,"white privilege" and "toxic masculinity".
The only acceptable entertainment will be the far left propaganda Hollywood is currently producing. That's a scary thought.
None of them will pass the purity test that’s being applied. In fact no society can pass the purity test they’re foisting on all of us. But the goal isn’t to purify society, it’s to critique it out of existence until “other better ways of knowing” can be ushered in. Of course they don’t really tell you how that is going to happen, only that it must for us to finally get to Utopia. CRTs see this as a lifelong struggle that requires at every turn a “war of position.”
So it goes something like this. Two people walk into a store, one is white and the other black or vise versa. The store clerk goes up to the white person first. The crime here is that they chose the white person because they’re inherently racist, their implicit bias is showing of not their explicit bias. Had the store clerk gone up to the black person first that would be evidence of their explicit or implicit bias. Both choices are proof positive that white supremacy exist, even if the store clerk is. BIPOC. So now the premise is set that society is systemically racist. If you don’t agree you’re just perpetuating white supremacy. The. The prescription comes. You must take anti-racist training to be a better person, you don’t want to perpetuate white supremacy do you?
It’s a Kafkatrap. No answer satisfies the accuser and any attempt to give them a reasonable discourse will be used against you as proof of your “white fragility.” They don’t really know any other playbook which is why you see them accuse BIPOC of racism when they disagree with them, hello?
So what do you do? Ignore their accusations of racism outright. They accuse you because in a liberal democracy if it doesn’t shut you up it will probably at least make you question if you’re actually guilty of what they’re accusing you of. But think about it like this, if you cannot answer in anyway possible without satisfying the racist accusation, neither can they. They’re guilty of what they’re accusing you of and they cannot escape that reality.
