re: Study: Young people want more "vulnerable men" in movies/TV, less "masculine stereotypes"

Show me how they worded these questions.

I asked my nephew, 4 at the time, jokingly if he wanted to watch horror movies with me when he got older. His look of disapproval was shocking and he said “I want to watch happy movies about happy people.”

To this day I’m still floored by that response

I generally feel the same as your then 4 year old nephew. Not a fan of horror and agony. Never have been. I get enough of that from the world.

But I still like Rambo and Terminator and James Bond. I wouldn’t use horror as a barometer.

It is impressive how broken some parts of academia have become. Complete nonsense and completely unreproducible studies are rampant.

Huge parts of the university systems are the intellectual and moral equivalent of the research on smoking that cigarette companies famously funded. You are allowed funding and appointment to the faculty when you sign away the right to discover and publish uncomfortable truths.

It used to be the nonsense was restricted to gender studies programs but the rot is much wider now. Survey data of political affiliation demonstrate a near absence of conservative or Republican viewpoints on most college and university departments.

Even the ability to hear a different viewpoint has been nearly eliminated in their public spaces. And the whole point of an education is to hear and debate different points of reference.

I hope the whole thing gets reformed or destroyed. The present system saddles the students with ridiculous debt and no ability to understand the world or deal with the failures of the far left including collapsing American cities, rampant addiction among the homeless, terrible public schools and a failed welfare and public housing system that literally creates dependency and ghettos.

They're kids who don't know what is good for them. Give them what they need. To hell with what they want.

Uhls and her team pointed to two TV examples — Heated Rivalry and The Pitt — as satisfying those depictions.

There’s not enough nuance or authenticity in the way that these men show the full range of their emotions,” Uhls told THR. “Young people are going to make fun of it or reject it.”

Yep, this is totally real and definitely not just trying to rile up republicans and boomers. 100% real.

And I see that it worked.

We’re still accruing weak men, but we are full steam ahead with the “weak men create hard times” part of the cycle.

Hollywood has been catering to "modern audiences" for the better part of a decade and they are teetering on the brink of collapse, but let's double down on unwatchable slop.

I don't care for the Fast and Furious movies but for the article to act like audiences don't like them is insane. Those thing are the cash cow that not even modern Hollywood can kill.
