A Broadway musical with actually currently popular musical styles seems like an obvious thing to do but apparently no one thought of it before. The fact it allowed people to feel good about their country's historical foundation just by casting people of color in the roles of landed white aristocrats is what allowed it to metastasize into a cultural/political force among parts of the country.

devtesla posted:Here's the good read. At a time where America seems lovely it makes America seem like something to be proud of. i am mixed the article isnt wrong, but the playwrite are right, the audiance doesn't want to get loving preached at. Not everything should be "everything you know is bullshit, here is everything bad because everything is bad and people suffer all over the world" i mean yeah no poo poo.. i mean yeah, its a dumb musical with catchy music that makes people pat themselves on the back for feeling enlightened about history at least on a beginners level. its better then loving nothing. Telephones posted:No more nerds! No more nerds! ehh. i dont get it but then again i am not a musical person apart from le miz. I feel like people want diversity but they just want for its own sake and make themselves look good and feel better, not for any actual good reasons(showing anyone can do anything and all that stuff, or good character development or whatever). its like all those people who bitched about the witcher 3 or that medivial game thats set in 14th century Bohemia not having massive amounts of black people when it was from countries that didnt have that many people of color but instead had more cultural diversity instead. but gently caress that, Divsity= race and thats it.

I am a giant loving nerd(love game of thrones, Star Wars and various video game series) but that stuff has basically taught me that everything can turn to poo poo in a second and "evil" will always live on and find a.new face or pawns. Not " Harry Potter taught me that evil always loses and I am a special snowflake," these people are loving empty fools and shoul probaly have better taste. berserk taught me to hail satan

That argument doesn't always work for me when it comes to fantasy stuff because 14th century Bohemia wasn't full of magic or monsters either, and yet those things are included. Why should non-white characters need their existence justified when you're already in a fantasy setting? I don't particularly care what shows up in each individual game or movie or whatever. But diversity in general is a subject worth discussing, and it's a good thing for real people to be able to see themselves reflected in media.

Homework Explainer posted:everybody is Genuinely Good at Heart and the monster developers that are dismantling public infrastructure and affordable housing in the real world are portrayed as lovable nincompoops. it's a seasons-long feel-good session about how great neoliberal consensus can be if you're very very nice about it. also they spent a whole episode doing racist caricatures of venezuelans So do they do the episode where the meatpacking plant closes down and one guy gets his pink slip, comes home, kills his wife and children and then himself? edit: or is it more the guy comes home and his family starts a lemonade stand and they get new jobs and everyone is happy?

this is the election that keeps on giving. I take back everything bad I've said about social media also John Oliver saying he'd write a check to trump to run and how much he wanted him to run, while the audience hooted and hollered, is the greatest thing

Kings George I and II of England could barely speak intelligible English and spent more time dealing with their own failed sons than ruling the Empire —but they gave patronage to Handel. Ludwig II of Bavaria was believed to be insane and went into debt compulsively building castles — but he gave patronage to Wagner. Barack Obama deported more immigrants than any other president and expanded the drone program in order to kill almost 3,500 people — but he gave patronage to a neoliberal nerdcore musical. God bless this great land.

Counterpoint  http://thefederalist.com/2016/11/11/how-jon-stewart-and-the-daily-show-elected-donald-trump/ Also lol at this national review quote quote:As George W. Bush’s presidency wound down, it became obvious that a comedy crisis was looming. As you might recall, there was much media thumb-sucking over what America’s gag writers would do when they no longer had the tongue-tied Texan to kick around. To make matters worse for the comedy scribes, Bush’s eventual replacement was a well-spoken, walking civil-rights triumph who largely shared the entertainment industry’s liberal politics.
