They are leaving vast market vacuums
The problem is it's all the way up the ladder
There's a gap in the market for stereotypically masculine or right-leaning television shows but that gap isn't being filled because TV execs are denying those shows airtime, you feel me? Plus generally people on the right don't chase creative careers as often, but I don't think that's as related
Its not even ignoring demand, its forcing ppl to change their demand.
"Oh, so you want to buy apple? No man, im gonna sell you banana, and you will like it"
They're artificially creating an imbalance
Yeah
"If you don't eat banana you're discriminating against tropical fruit growers"
Meanwhile anyone who grows apples is getting fucked
The problem is demand for apples will grow so high that people *bypass the grocers*
The people trying to sell you fruit will get ignored because they don't wanna give you what you demand
If they cannot supply to meet the demand they lose out on a market and therefore profit
There's always been a bias in media, but the game's changed
It's gone from addressing and rejecting things respectfully, to an inquisition against wrongthink
Like, to give a historical example
Around one of Queen Elizabeth's jubilees, people were releasing songs to do with the Queen
God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols comes out
It's basically calling the Queen a fascist and disagreeing with her a ton, because they saw her detrimental to the UK
i think its already happening, indy game scene is getting good, and you are starting to see decent looking alternatives to big original IPs like battlefield
Did the radio still play them? Fuck yes they did. They were #2 on the charts. SOME people banned the song, because it was offensive. But it was played
In fact some people believe the government and some businesses purposefully skewed results and records, and it was #1
Those were simpler times, when being offended by a product didnt mean product will be banned all together, and everyone getting that product are a nazis
Such nice times
The indie scene will save art and the freedom of information
If Articles 11 and 13 go through the indie scene is gonna explode because word-of-mouth, chatrooms and local communities are gonna be how you hear about stuff
when will people realize, that if you give attention to things you hate, you bring attention to it, and then people who dislike you will support it just out of spite for you, and then other people will see it
its best to ignore it in the hopes no one else likes it and it fades from view
i remember when catcher in the rye was considered banned
kids would go out of their way to find it just because it was banned
The other thing is that censorship works only if people are willing to take part in it. As you said- back then people were not willing to do that so all atemps failed
and its a boring af book.
So yeah
It's like
Suppression just makes the communities you're trying to eradicate closer
Underground music is gonna absolutely blow up, which I'm excited for as an up-and-coming rock vocalist lmao
rock became mainstream and sort of died off.
need to bring back the old parents calling it satans music, make it cool again
oh wait, we have SJWs to call it bigot's music
My whole schtick with rock is like, it's lost its spirit nowadays
Most people who play rock that I've met in the Birmingham scene at least are all like
"I wanna be famous", "I want people to notice me"
