They're almost all still white though, which is odd all things considered. There are some mixed representations, but they're usually all white from what I can remember.
Immigration!
- Thread starter NSA
- Start date
Yeah, they better get on the wagon and start trashing all that traditional crap before the shrieking hoards descend upon them...
I have to imagine there have been a few of the non straight variety in some of the movies.. but I can't really recall one. Maybe some friends? I dunno.
It's aimed pretty squarely at middle age/older straight white women.. they know their audience. Since it's kind of taken off the last couple of years, I could see them try and expand out to virtue single some.. but not sure they'd risk pissing off/alienating their main demographic (not like Gillette lol).
I was curious so I took a look at the 2018 lineup...

Actually looks like there were 3 African American movies this year!

All 3 appear to be black on black pairings but traditional Christmas movies otherwise. I don't remember seeing these so I can't really comment on how they rate to the other ones.
The rest all seem to be pretty standard white on white straight pairings. Maybe some Hispanic here and there, but kind of hard to tell.

I wonder how the b on b ones did ratings wise compared to the w on w ones. That may've been the "progressiveness" test for further inclusion injection.
Maybe.. I couldn't find any specific mention of it.. other than
Majestic Christmas was one of the 3 black ones.. but it's not noted (or TOUTED) as such, so.. maybe they're just normal and don't need to hype everything up on race base?
Yeah, I get the feeling the maybe Hallmark just wants to use their formula of relatively traditional, women pleasing movies and shows to sell advertising and greeting cards. At least until they hire enough I-ain't-afraid-to-go-broke woke executives...
Heck, my parents (and sometimes the rest of us when we are downstairs having dinner with them) watch Little House on the Prairie every night and get marketed every kind of medicine and other product that old people could possibly want, but nobody cares because it's good, old school, family drama. My kids even laugh at the boooooring commercials. But the network is making money with it.

It would be interesting to see the life cycle of success.. and at what point you think you're so successful you can do anything without penalty (get woke).
I imagine the same phenomenon happens with other brand killing moves too, not just wokeness.

I picture the "I ain't got time fo dat" lady even though she doesn't fit the executive type. Or maybe she got woke and was one of them execs and we're seeing the broke after effects.
We've been watching a lot of MeTV. Has a lot of good old shows on with them old folks commercials.
These people (companies, celebs, politicians) do and say things that seem absolutely insane that you have to come to the conclusion that they have been honeypotted and are being blackmailed.
Maybe, but I think they've simply come to the erroneous conclusion that all attention is good. In this world of crazy news, you've gotta be completely insane just to garner a few extra eyeballs. And these are attention whores who will do anything to occupy head space or get their turn in the news cycle. Nothing is out of bounds if they can stay in the spotlight.
Gillette doesn't care that we thought their commercial was crap. They only care that they're the focus of attention. I wish there was a way we could collectively just hit a big "ignore" button as a society to let them know we just don't give a shit about their social justice razors.

I think the drive for SJW stuff is very far down the list, money always rules all.. they have to have some sort of focus group that leads them to believe this is the way to get ahead of the curve and really reap the rewards..
Sometimes it does work, but we really only ever notice the ones that comically backfire since those get all the attention.
I do think the attention is important too, but most of the big mistakes seem like they polled a certain group and extrapolated the wrong data based on it.

The plots are full of the bullshit women claim to want in men and romance, but the female leads in them tend to be total smoke shows.
I thought I might be imagining the Christmas movie on Friday thing. They ran the fuckers from Halloween until the first week of January, plus there'll be Christmas in July.

Not the least bit surprised one of my senators is on this list, sorry fuck that he is.

Both of my senators are on that list, including the one we just elected on her support-trump platform. WTF!
The pricks are really pushing toward a non-peaceful solution.
They better be careful what they hope for. There are already people out there who want an uprising.
If Trump hadn’t won, we’d likely already be on the verge.

Feels like the globalists are really trying to get this war in Venezuela going and give reasons for millions more to flee to our southern border. Sure hope Trump doesn't do anything militarily unless it can be achieved overnight with a strong plan to immediately stabilize the population.
Yeah, I'm all about getting out of and staying out of foreign entanglements going forward. Our military should be utilized to protect our borders and nothing else, unless there is a known imminent threat to our country that must be met somewhere far away.
I'm not talking about the country leaders, I'm talking about the money lenders that are the true beneficiaries of conflict. Though, the country leaders have gotten better at insulating themselves.
Fair enough. I suppose they think they'd find a place where they could live their lives isolated from the fallout of the inevitable conflicts?
I think in most cases they already have.
Though I have to wonder, in a total collapse, civil war type situation, could they rely on the people that they currently do? Pilots, drivers, delivery people, etc.? Would they cooperate for safety? Would they be the first ones offed?

I don't think any but the most hard core of hard core... whatever-ists would want full nation destabilization. What benefit does it do to rich people if their money means nothing?
Some would want to destroy the world to remake it in their image or whatever.. but that's pretty out there radical stuff that I don't think the majority of the "Evil ruling whatever" would be on board with.
"Yay we incited nuclear war! We're now the richest people in the fallout!"

Sucks he got doxxed. He'll probably get harassed now by insane open borders, pro illegal immigrant "people".

It's over. It's so freaking over. Globalists won. Good game, good game.
I'll believe it when I see it. And, can't they just leave? Can't dems just load them up on buses and move them to wherever they want? How about instead we load them up on planes and take them back to country of origin.
Well, they will likely stay where they have the most privileges (aka, they can break the law with impunity) and free stuff, vs where they will get ICED if they step out of line, but yeah, they could.
I considered that, but if that were true right now the only place to have illegals would be commie states and cites. We know that that isn't the case.
Well that's more on those areas for not enforcing it then.
The problem is everyone in business and government benefits from illegals so no one really wants to change anything.
