I guess the Deprogram guys are the Three Stooges now? But the joke doesn’t really work

Roderick being terminally online is normal for him, like that time he wanted a teacher sitcom to have a school shooting episode and triple down

Wow he would love this site. Get a lot of kicks calling people fascist for kinda enjoying a Netflix show or something.

If executed with complete seriousness and to shock the audience out of complacency, that would actually be good

His ultimate point was also not really about it being good or bad in quality, he just has the position that artists have a social responsibility and got mad that the show decided against portraying a reality(school shootings in the USA) because it would be discomforting, as a basic summary. He doesnt like slop.

What are his thoughts on Turning Red not mentioning 9/11

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I think that dissertation is on hold currently due to the Hakim opportunism situation, sadly.

If he wants to make a point about artists having a social responsibility to accurately portray reality, he should've just said sitcoms are a reactionary genre and artists with a desire to produce revolutionary work ought to not be involved in the production of sitcoms. Because sitcoms make most of their money through syndication, reaired episodes aren't shown in order. This means sitcom episode always reset to a status quo, which means you'll never be able to portray the effects of lasting change. From this, a school shooter episode wouldn't work because the following episodes would all have to pretend a school shooting never happened, and while that could be used as a commentary on school administration, even the characters would have to pretend the school shooting never happened.

This is what I meant earlier about him being a pseud. I don't know if he's genuinely this pig-headed or if he's just purposefully being edgy, but the effect is still the same.

It would have been right in line with 90s TV. You'd just replace the gun with a toy knife and run a Much Ado About Nothing plotline where everyone accuses each other of owning it in a silly mix up with a serious message.

they shot carlton on prime time in the 90's

Assuming you're talking about Fresh Prince, that was Will. Carlton then gets a gun in a promise of revenge.

[-] cryptymythy@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

right yeah, carlton gets spun out on pills i think

[-] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago
