Yeah, that much isn't particularly new. Most art involves some degree of patronage, which is a huge pitfall in political art. Not everyone can be succesful being Bertholt Brecht.

i'm still going to watch it because it's very funny, but i wouldn't be surprised if this season is where it goes completely up its own rear end

edit: yup, it'll be completely up its own rear end

quote:

As reported by USA Today, star Ilana Glazer says they wrote the season under the assumption that Clinton would win, but when the “game-show host” won instead, they “rewrote a lot.”

thats a good way of putting it. they dont view them as people or indviduals. but like very smart pets that can't think for themselves or arnt responsible for their own behavior. like after charlie hebdo, i saw a ton of these assholes saying they deserved it or "brought it upon them selves because words hurt and they were oppressing Muslims"

We aren't speaking historically

Theatre is an incredibly regional art form and it's weird for you to be treating it like it's not.

The vast majority of the country doesn't have a huge theater scene when it exists primarily in half a dozen cities. I can't think of another form of modern media that is as location dependent. More people have access to loving room escape games nowadays

Theater used to actually involve a lot more (poor) patrons, back when it was the equivalent of going to the cinema. It only really survives today as the conspicuous consumption of a specific subset of the fairly well off.

And hell: I'm glad theatre dead.

This was also my experience in both Tulsa, OK and the blighted suburban hellscape of Orange County, CA hours from LA. Community theater is cool and fun and only slightly goofy, which feeds into how fun it is. If your entire knowledge of theater begins and ends with Broadway you might want to get out more.

Almost all American theater is performed in the shadow of Broadway so the values of Broadway impact the small town theater circuit

But I can see we won't see eye to eye on this and I admit I am incredibly biased against performance art as a medium

There are about four times as many white people in the US as black people, so assuming equal distribution there are four times as many white raging morons as black raging morons. And given the systemic racism and networking involved in who gets a platform to fling poo poo from, you're way more likely to hear from the white raging morons.
