Have most of you heard of Kathleen Kennedy before this episode? I had not and am now wondering if this was common knowledge or if this is just animated tv/entertainment issue that has caught Trey and Matt’s attention?

    I had no idea. I didn’t really know pandering was that significant an issue. But I’m out of the loop with marvel stuff.

      You’re head must be so far up your ass or your under the age of 20 and you just don’t know any different (which is what they wanted)

      This has been going on for the last 4 years at least.

      I mean South Park even changed Token’s name to Tolkien… you didn’t notice any of this?

      It’s cuz they make the pandering the core priority while writing character development and creativity get sidelined. No one has a problem with diversity, they just don’t want it replacing putting in effort, which is exactly what it’s done

      Are you also out of the loop for Star Wars, Disney’s live-action remakes, and most modern TV shoes and movies?

      Kathleen Kennedy’s not responsible for all of them, but the pandering isn’t limited to Disney.

        Commercials, movies, tv shows, remakes, historical events… jobs, DEI in Government and the corporate world…

        This use of force has been pretty hard to miss

        Yeah, I’m definitely out of the loop on anything Star Wars or Disney. Not sure about other modern TV and movies.

        I checked her IMDB page and I haven’t seen anything she directed or produced since Signs. I know the old stuff like jurasic park and ET. Since, she’s involved in projects that never appealed to me. But I’m old.

      Honestly, it’s really not that big of an issue. There are like a small handful of instances in pop culture where it was literally “put a chick in it and make her gay” type of diversity implementations. But like the vast majority of it has been the ideal Stan/Kyle perspective of giving them a cool background and making it their own character.

        This is such gas lighting right here. This has been a massive topic for 70% of the country. The only crowd who says what you just said are progressives.

        Normal people are just scared to speak up that they don’t like it because they will be shamed and bullied by the progressive gestapo if they do.
