Does anyone have any ideas about whey such a seismic shift in the depictions of white men has occurred over the period of time since these shows were airing and now?


They quit hiring straight white guys.

The Lost Generation by Jacob Savage

quote:

In 2011, the year I moved to Los Angeles, white men were 48 percent of lower-level TV writers; by 2024, they accounted for just 11.9 percent. The Atlantic’s editorial staff went from 53 percent male and 89 percent white in 2013 to 36 percent male and 66 percent white in 2024. White men fell from 39 percent of tenure-track positions in the humanities at Harvard in 2014 to 18 percent in 2023.

In retrospect, 2014 was the hinge, the year DEI became institutionalized across American life.

Stranger Things has had a lesbian in the main cast since 2019 and it was obvious in 2022 that Netflix made the Duffers write Will as gay so why are you melting down about it now?


Having homosexuals in the main cast =/= homosexuality being the key to beating the main villain.

Will unlocked his powers by admitting to himself he’s gay and he defeated Vecna’s control over him by coming out of the closet :lol:

Don’t act like it’s some minor plot point only bigots would take issue with

So how do we think this finale plays out?


Will and Robin defeat Vecna with the power of gayness

Nancy goes the girl-boss route and stays single because she doesn’t need no man

Hopper sacrifices himself for El

El stays in the upside when it collapses and kills herself

Straight white people are not allowed to be happy together

It’s not. It’s political/racial grandstanding that’s better fit for a campaign rally than a comedy show.

The lazy students that lived by the motto “Cs get degrees” have already flocked to this thread to insist they’re really successful :lol:
I’ve read some compelling arguments that AGI is not even possible.

I particularly like the idea that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe instead of just a byproduct of matter.

Regardless, the Jesus as described in the Bible would not have generalized illegal immigrants as mass rapists, thieves, murderers, etc.,


You can deport illegal aliens without demonizing them.

We are offering help, guidance, and forgiveness by returning them to their country of origin.

Jesus was crucified after "breaking the law" of man himself

I don't think he would care about human-made laws, only intent.


Wow this is ignorant.

Jesus was crucified because the Jewish leaders believed his teachings/claims of divinity were heretical, and they pitched it to the Romans that he was claiming to be king of the Jews so they’d crucify him for sedition.

Pilate found no basis for the charge, but the crowd wouldn’t accept that and choose to pardon Barabbas instead so that Jesus would be crucified.

Being here "illegally" is not the same as being here illegally and being a drain on and harmful to society.


Being here illegally is de facto a drain on and harmful to society.

It was confirmed today he was concussed yesterday. Hence him being in the concussion protocol….


Link to confirmation he was diagnosed with a concussion?

Just because he’s in the protocol doesn’t mean he had one.
