Zionists owning Hollywood turns out to be reality.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility, since Hollywood loves to blacklist folks in general for opinions outside work. But to outright claim X, Y or Z won’t be working at Paramount seems a bit of a stretch.

There’s a lot of wiggle room in that article. It’s reporting on ‘sources told Variety’ that Paramount is making a list, but that they’re not sure who’s on it. But that they assume these people would be.

It’s all silly anyway. Even folks like Kevin Spacey eventually get back to working in Hollywood. Hollywood principles only go so far once the media attention dies down.

Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”

RIP any future Star Trek property.

"OMG, when did Star Trek get so political?!"

Um... 1966.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 11 points 9 hours ago

So hilarious and so apt... I will absolutely laugh at the idea of, well what's effectively been a socialist utopia for the vast majority of contexts in it, and the show that broke the interracial kiss barrier. (on top of inter species/galaxy ones... but obviously far more shocking at the time that a white guy kissed a black woman, than a white guy sleeping with a bunch of green aliens.

[–] TeamAssimilation 3 points 9 hours ago

Political in the non-conservative sense, mind you.

[–] CityPop@lemmy.today 23 points 9 hours ago

America-centric?

Mother fucker it’s already America-centric, just look at the space Christian angels episodes of discovery to see how American it is.

Oh well, more Americans shooting themselves in the foot for foreign media to step in and replace them. Guess this is the century of China if America is giving up.

I reckon we could get 4 seasons into a Terran Empire based series before the MAGAs figure out they're being made fun of.

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 38 points 10 hours ago

You could get away with a Starship Troopers Star Trek Terran Empire series literally forever, The Colbert Report ran 11 seasons and people still think it existed to balance out the liberal bias of The Daily Show.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Star Trek: Ferenginar will probably be on the list to be made and the pilot episode will be called Make Fereginar Great Again.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 18 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

MAGA would see the Ferengi aversion to war, xenophobia, and genocide as "too woke".

[–] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

They would like the idea of permanently unclothed women though. Those on the younger side especially.

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 9 hours ago

The Ferengi actually know how to run a functioning economy.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Followed by Star Trek: Lobes

[–] ZeroPoke@fedia.io 12 points 11 hours ago

My first thought when reading that as well.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

There's already an Angel Studios. We don't need another one.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 109 points 11 hours ago

Seeing that list of stars, I didn't even need to open the article to see if Paramount was just conflating anti-genocide with anti-semitic.

They are, in case it wasn't immediately clear.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 70 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

Well, I just canceled my paramount+

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 30 points 10 hours ago

Same.

We're quickly spiraling into a Star Trek evil timeline origin.

[–] CheesyFingers@piefed.social 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

How do i boycott that from which i don't currently partake.

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

Pirate their stuff and leave bad reviews?

[–] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 15 points 10 hours ago

After what they did to Halo, I canceled mine ages ago.

[–] THB@lemmy.world 65 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like we need a Paramount boycott

[–] TeamAssimilation 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I want to, but I was already avoiding them!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I switch around a lot and was considering getting it for a month but then the Colbert thing happened and now this? Never again.

[–] MerrySkeptic@sh.itjust.works 30 points 11 hours ago

Soon to be rebranded as Paramaga, to cater to "the middle"

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 22 points 10 hours ago

MAGA and Jewish space lasers on the same side. I guess they are that stupid.

[–] thelivefive@startrek.website 14 points 10 hours ago

Oh that would be tough if you were an actor who thinks children deserve to live.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 13 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Is that a bad thing? As in, there are some good actors on that list which won't be making MAGA-friendly films at Paramount.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 13 points 10 hours ago

What are the odds that Mel Gibson isn't on that list

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 9 hours ago

*People critical of the attrocicities being committed by the genocidal Israeli government under netanyahu

I'm sure there's numerous Jewish actors on their list.

[–] tyranical_typhon@lemmings.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Why are they trying to control media?

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 hours ago

To try to control opinions

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Actively rebranding Antisemitism to be the good thing?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

Netanyahu has already done that by so diluting the word "antisemitic" that it means "criticizing anything Israel does, including genocide." Being called antisemitic by his gang is a badge of honor. By ruining the word he has made it far harder for people to raise the alarm about actual antisemitism.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

That’s fine. Movies mostly blow now anyway.
