So instead of adjusting and giving fans the kind of entertainment they\u2019d enjoy, Hollywood\u2019s masterminds have switched to using a code phrase that signals like-minded individuals while fooling everyone else into thinking there\u2019s some hope they may make something the average viewer might enjoy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before they started using this code, everything was out in the open. Disney would gleefully announce they were gender-swapping your favorite character, or rewriting your favorite franchise to fit their current political preferences, and then act offended when nobody liked it. Whether I personally liked what they were doing or not, the honesty was appreciated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Then <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/south-park\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:South Park;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">South Park<\/a><\/em> started making fun of them. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible to overestimate just how important that show\u2019s 2023 episode \u201cJoining the Panderverse\u201d was. In that episode, Trey Parker and Matt Stone attacked Disney with the same vicious vigor they\u2019ve recently and successfully <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/south-park-returns-focuses-showing-071626220.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:directed at Donald Trump;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">directed at Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cartman\u2019s refrain of \u201cmake it a chick and make it lame\u201d hit close to home because that\u2019s exactly what <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/disney\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Disney;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Disney<\/a> had been doing, and everyone had been too afraid of cancel culture backlash to say it. <em>South Park<\/em> fears nothing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They\u2019d been outed. People knew what was up. So the Hollywood delusionals who\u2019ve been ruining everything couldn\u2019t openly say \u201chey, let\u2019s make this beloved character a woman\u201d anymore. Their choices were either to change what they were doing or lie about it. They\u2019ve chosen to lie about it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">To cover their tracks, Hollywood\u2019s true believers have begun using this code phrase: \u201cEspecially right now with what\u2019s going on in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cEspecially right now with what\u2019s going on in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s just vague enough that those who aren\u2019t paying attention might assume these words mean something good. Because what is going on right now? If you\u2019re a middle-class family struggling to make ends meet in Belton, Texas, what\u2019s going on right now is the high property taxes and the failing education system. And if someone were actually to make a program commenting on that, you\u2019d probably think that was pretty awesome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Except that\u2019s not what they mean at all. They don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on right now with you, and they don\u2019t care. What\u2019s going on for them is fighting desperately to protect some weird sort of fringe ideology that, according to recent polling, nearly <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/cltr\/88-percent-lying.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:90% of the people in their audience;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">90% of the people in their audience<\/a> want nothing to do with.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cEspecially right now with what\u2019s going on in the world,\u201d is Hollywood\u2019s new way of saying \u201cmake it a chick and make it lame.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"&lt;a class=&quot;link &quot; href=&quot;https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/ben-stiller&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; data-ylk=&quot;slk:Ben Stiller;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas&quot;&gt;Ben Stiller&lt;\/a&gt; in the movie &lt;em&gt;Dodgeball&lt;\/em&gt;\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/R833Wt_f32tjXH4BUesKXw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/3a3c8a3256f4dd237b3f59ac332c4709\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier this week, Ben Stiller said he wants to make a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/star-trek\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Star Trek;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Star Trek<\/a> movie. He explained his plan this way: \u201cEspecially right now with what\u2019s going on in the world\u2026 It\u2019s an important time to have Star Trek movies out in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What Ben Stiller actually means is: I want to burrow into Star Trek and wear it like a skin suit while I use it to project my personal political ideology on you. I know if I were up front about it, you\u2019d turn off your television and call me a lunatic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With what\u2019s going on in the world right now, I don\u2019t think that code phrase is going to help. Everyone\u2019s on to them, and no one\u2019s listening anymore. Stop lying, stop trying to trick us into embracing your weird ideas and let us have our own weird ideas.
