Would you agree that TV has become a leftist propaganda machine?

[IHaveRespawned]

Every show I watched, it pro-gay and pro-trangender while poking at Christians, conservatives, and the perceptions/ignorance of White people.

Apparently, even the Rockos Modern Life movie on Netflix is apparently about a transgender character. Nimona (a kids-oriented movie) had some gay elements.

I even told my fiance that I would have to investigate movies before I show them to my future kids.

An episode of Futurama tonight was poking fun at securing the southern border.

Yes

No

I understand the concept of having diversity, but everything is forced and "in your face".

[WindAtMyBack]

Has become? It's always been that way.

It wasn't until the early 60s when TV became a normal thing for houses to have in the US. That was approximately when it reached 50% of households. It was liberal back then, and just got worse once the networks realized how much power that medium had. By the late 60s and 70s they were doing it intentionally. By the late 70s and early 80s they were targeting children's programming. Once that happens it becomes downright brainwashing.

[IHaveRespawned]

I just remember watching cartoons growing up, there was most certainly flamboyant characters. You had the "Silver Spooner" in Dexter's Lab and the red guy in the Powerpuff Girls. But it was subtle. It wasn't pointing it out in an obvious way and you didn't see any physical romantic affection between gay or tranny characters. Being a child, you wouldn't even know or guess that character's sexuality.

[WindAtMyBack]

I wasn't watching cartoons any more when they started that stuff. I was in my 20s by then. But I saw enough to know they were doing it.

It started innocent enough. It might have only been encouraging children to brush their teeth or clean their room. But I saw the slippery slope from the start. Instead of pure entertainment, the networks thought it was their job to "teach" kids.

Many/most parents when along with it. They didn't see the slippery slope. Although many DID see it, especially since television had already gotten blatantly liberal by then, and didn't even try to hide it. Even with the fairly innocent stuff, people didn't think it was the job of TV to raise children - even if they happened to agree with the message.

[DonaldDarko]

I think it always was. Look at the bizarre filth you see on TV. Even way back. All you need to do is see it on TV and you stand a very good chance of labeling it as normal. That isn't the case. TV puts the abnormal on so you can be manipulated, changed into something other than you were. And, it can do it to millions at a time. Probably the most insidious psyop the world ever knew.

[Agape93]

Imagine that, putting up shows and movies geared towards audiences that want to watch it and generate millions. It's not propaganda, it's playing their market, and you're just not in it. That's fine. Nit every movie or show needs to be what you want, considering most people want some level of inclusion or diversity. y'all had decades of shit how you want it, let em have the stage for a bit.

[goaded]

Absolutely! Until nobody notices it any more! (Like having female actors; unthinkable until the 17th century.)

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Gee, it’s almost like when you discuss morality in fiction, it also means inclusion and equality. Who would have thought?


Get real, dude. These kids media didn’t just magically get woke or whatever. You just became a bad person.

[IHaveRespawned]

How am I a "bad person"? I have saved lives during my lifetime, I am an avid volunteer at church, and I advocate for better public safety in my state. So just because I don't agree with left-wing social engineering and propaganda, it makes me a bad person?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Do you believe that those of the LGBTQ+ group deserve rights and freedoms? Do you think their existence is a sin against god?

[IHaveRespawned]

It is a sin, no doubt. This is also a free country and people make their own life choices. Just don't flaunt it in my face or involve my children in any capacity.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Then don’t watch shows that promote being kind

[IHaveRespawned]

You can promote being kind without pushing social engineering propaganda. I had friends who are gay. They didn't try to push it in my face or try to change my mind.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Believing the existence of someone else made in God’s image is inherently a sin based on nothing more than the fact that they desire lovers that you don’t does, in fact, make you a bad person

[IHaveRespawned]

I am not going to embrace homosexuality or trangenderism. It is a sin, and I am not going to sugarcoat it. It doesn't mean I cannot be friends with someone gay or be nice. I am not going to embrace or advocate for it, and I am going to protect my children who are vulnerable in their development.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Tell them that and watch if they stay friends or just civil

[alice55]

Funny cause in my country people complain about the reverse they complain that chain like Cnews and BFM TV are right wing and promote violence and hate against minority.

And I don't think that chain are particularly leftist to be franks.

[IHaveRespawned]

I am conservative, and I don't support being violent towards a minority for the sake of them being a minority.

[IHaveRespawned]

I will say, watch the Boondocks episode about MLK. It is spot on. MLK would be rolling in his grave the way black culture has widely become. Ironically, the shows creator identifies as a hardcore leftist. It is amazing how far left liberals have swayed.

[IHaveRespawned]

The left has swayed so radically left, they make conservatives look moderate... lol

[alice55]

For sure left in America are definitly on another planet xD

[NordicInScandinavia]

You sound like a weakling but now we know what you are, so it doesn't surprise me. 🤢

[goaded]

Remember that show that had non-white people in positions of importance? Totally unrealistic at the time. It was called Star Trek.

Back then, you'd have been protesting the kiss between Kirk and Uhura.

[DrPepper12]

Maybe... Just maybe it's... Now hear me out... Maybe it's SATIRE

[AviatorTom]

Every show today has at least one token minority... black, latino, Asian, LGBTQ+, etc

[RingOfFire]

Yes it's a Marxist leftist propaganda machine. But this is not a new development, it started in the 1970s.

[exitseven]

I stopped watching a few shows because of this. When Buck from 911 turned gay that was it for me.

[zagor]

I don't think showing gay characters is necessarily "pro-gay". What do you want them to do, show them molesting kids?

[Dongie]

I'm sure it has but I canceled my cable 3 years ago last month.

[IHaveRespawned]

I have IPTV, tv via internet protocol. Cable TV is far too expensive, especially considering all the propaganda that is shoved down our throats. Paying to be socially engineered... how stupid.

[Dargil]

CNN NPR CBS NBC MSNBC ABC , NBC are.

[IHaveRespawned]

Yes, most of the mainstream media

[mrkdvsn]

Agree. My wife and I have gotten rid of all our TV sets

[beefcakebradybatson]

Hardly. Righties have Bogarted and dumbed down the small screen !!!

[SmokinAces2000]

Oh know gay people and minorities are in movies and tv shows 😱

[SmokinAces2000]

*no*

[Cormac995]

It's not JUST the left. It's the right too.

[blackeagle007]

Biased tv is everywhere on all sides.
