Progs Are So Unhinged They Are Melting About Hallmark Christmas Movies

Slate published a scathing review of the network -- complaining about its around-the-clock Christmas movies.
"They brim with white heterosexuals who exclusively, emphatically, and endlessly bellow “Merry Christmas” to every lumberjack and labradoodle they pass. They’re centered on beauty-pageant heroines and strong-jawed heroes with white-nationalist haircuts," the Slate writer declared.
There were complaints about the lack of gay people and feminists and Muslims in Hallmark Channel's movies. Slate also whined about what it called the network's "42 hours of sugary, sexist, preposterously plotted, plot hole–festooned, belligerently traditional, ecstatically Caucasian cheer."
quote:
"The Christmas-down-your-throat bombast, holly-jolly sexism, the characters’ zaniness and unyielding impulsiveness—it’s all very Trumpian behavior," the Slate writer said.

This person does realize that there's more than one channel on his TV, right?

I was wondering when the asshats would get around to that.
What a miserable person.
Several hundred channels

When they see people being happy and enjoying themselves they just can't resist destroying the joy by injecting their poison.

LMAO my wife is a democrat and LOVES these movies. I sent it to her just to see how she responds.

My wife watches this shite all the time. There do be a lot of white people. But there be other channels too.
Whenever you sit there and say “hey that’s too white or that’s too Hetero,” would saying the flip ever be acceptable?

If they really want to complain, they need to complain about the acting.
My wife loves that shite but even on occasion she's like, "dear lord, I can't watch this........I think they're reading their lines over the shoulder of the cameraman".
And honestly, sometimes it feels like the shite was shot in one day by people who saw the script THAT DAY

Having every single program have the exactly perfect leftist proportion of people is less diverse than having shows with all sorts of mixes.
Leftists are too stupid to figure that out.

My mom loves this shite and she's a damn near socialist.
I think I'll send her this article and see what happens

Just for once I'd love to see Hallmark come back with "Get fricked you bunch of fricking crybabies."

They preach a lot about the joy of diversity but they won't actually let a group go
and practice anything divergent from their own beliefs.

Yep.
Hey lefties. This just in. There are places in the U.S. that are relatively homogeneous. Like, you know. LOTS of places.
There are groups of people even in more diverse areas that are homogeneous within their groups.
They watch TV too!

Strangely enough, they also happen to be places with the most vocal and militant proggies...

The plot for these movies are as cookie cutter as it gets, if you watched 2-3 movies you've essentially seen them all.

That person has to be one perpetually miserable piece of shite.

The first paragraph of the original article:
I mean, damn, are these kind of people literally thinking about politics 24/7? It permeates their entire worldview. EVERYTHING has something to do with Trump, Republicans, Obama, Democrats, Hillary, you name it.
Goodness gracious, it truly must be a miserable way to go through life when you can't disconnect who is sitting at the Resolute Desk from your daily life experience.
BTW, I especially loved this little tidbit:
I think you're onto something there, chief. Clearly an insidious plot by Trump and Hallmark to subtly increase the amount of social propaganda being consumed by Americans.
quote:
At a rally in November 2015, Donald Trump heralded, “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again, that I can tell you.” Of all his empty guarantees, the president has perhaps fulfilled none better than a counterstrike in the War on Christmas, and no battalion has fired more rooty-toot artillery for him than the Hallmark Channel. In 2017, the network is premiering 21 original Christmas movies (up from 20 last year)—42 hours of sugary, sexist, preposterously plotted, plot hole–festooned, belligerently traditional, ecstatically Caucasian cheer. To observe the first holiday season under the Trump administration, I’m bearing witness to them all.
