  Nono “boomers” are all inherently evil. It’s not ageism if everyone just joins the jerk.

  If their movies from that era weren’t a good enough insight…

  John Wayne was a racist sexist POS and it shows in all his Westers . Most mobster movies objectified a specific group as less than… while glorified another… even though their actions were just as messed up.

  women and people of color were on the bottom barrel of being treated decently in these movies… How many scenes are there of men slapping a woman and then passionately kissing her as she hits him and it does nothing to him… it was a popular trope…

  But I am sure those were only movies and not indicative of how white men actually viewed life. Its not like they were trying to capture an audience in relevancy

    There’s a whole fake British accent invented by Hollywood because they thought it sounded sophisticated. Nobody talked like that in real life, nobody outside that group asked for or wanted it. The fact it exists and is in TV and movies doesn’t mean they’re “trying to capture and audience in relevancy” because there isn’t one.

    The people who decided what was ok on TV and movies were assholes. That trend continued for a very long time (Weinstein ring a bell? How about what happened to Cory Haim?) and it’s only recently that it’s getting effectively called out and removed. Well past when it should have, that we can agree on.
