Hey guys welcome back to the show. Today we're going to be talking about woke media.

Now if you look back over how media has changed over the past 30 or so years, it's pretty clear that the TV shows and movies we watch have gotten quite a bit more diverse.

I mean if you compare older shows like Seinfeld and Cheers to newer ones like The Good Place and Modern Family, it's obvious that things have gotten a lot more multiracial.

Shows like Orange is the New Black and Handmaid's tale have prominent LGBT characters.

And before we go any further, I would just like to clarify that I don't think diversity in media is necessarily a bad thing.

I mean there are non white people out there, there are non-siss head people out there and if we want

So in this video what I would like to do is discuss all the ways that in my opinion the push for diversity has

actually begun to hurt film and television, starting with the fact that we can no longer have media nowadays that is not diverse.

If you follow me on social media, you might know that I'm quite the true crime junkie.

So when I found out the Netflix was coming out with a show called Mindhunter that told a fictionalized version of the FBI's efforts to begin profiling serial killers in the 1970s, I was so sold. after watching it I can in fact confirm that that show is

amazing season one was so good cannot wait for season two but apparently not

everybody agrees with me because although one of the show's main

characters is a lesbian woman who does have to hide her sexuality since it's the 70s out of fear of
