Barbie success as progressive media (Dean Obeidallah scan and opinion) stands out as Paramount seems to be less confident in representation in Star Trek.
Barbie success as progressive media (Dean Obeidallah scan and opinion) stands out as Paramount seems to be less confident in representation in Star Trek.
Voices on the right have been urging a boycott of the “Barbie” film, but they just learned they are no match for the Mattel doll, writes Dean Obeidallah. The movie is breaking box-office records.
Barbie has been a summer juggernaut as a cinematic feature despite outrage from the right in the United States. Dean Obeidallah argues that conservative boycotts and backlash only have traction in specific niches where their adherents are the majority of the market.
One wonders if Paramount will take note as they strategically rebrand their streaming offerings. Unfortunately, it seems they’ve been headed in the other direction.
While Discovery led the way in representation across many diverse groups, some of us have been concerned that Picard season three pulled back to more traditional gender roles and an emphasis on white cis-male heroes. SNW has a large female main cast, but the OG female command officer Number One doesn’t seem to be getting much opportunity to show heroic leadership.
Thought this conversation might be less fraught over here at Quark’s.

Be honest, you're just upset that there's no cyclopian representation on the crew, aren't you?
-
@LordTrychon That's right bro. Why would I watch a show with no cute cyclops girls?

Is the new Futurama any good?

@LordTrychon Like the original, it mostly sucks.
