Anyone else get annoyed with PC/on trend or popular BS trumping everything else on TV?

I rarely watch tv.

But when I do or when it's on in the background I'm always astounded at how transperantly "on trend" it is.

Singing reality TV show - a normal chick vs an obviously lesbian chick - the one that dresses like a dude with short hair, anger issues and a voice like a pirate will always win. Doesn't matter that the more talented one looks normal, judges will never pick.

Same scenario but with dudes, the guy with turrettesting, a stutter, braces and a lisp on The Voice will trump a legit singer, easy.

TV shows - 115lb women ko or kill up to 10 dudes at a time unarmed.

Final contestants on a reality tv show...black or gay, if you're not one, forget it.

Do these "reality" tv shows actually pick talent?

Watched the latest xmen movie today...there was a character portrayed as an Egyptian street urchin. OK. Then they shaved her head. OK. Then they made sure that she only did whatever she did because she idolized a "different " female xmen hero.

Took me til 3/4 through the movie until I realized that this character was actually meant to be Storm, you know, an attractive black woman with a non dyke haircut normally.

Wtf?

Never noticed this, to be honest, maybe you're just watching a lot of bad television?

You know an argument is solid when it starts with massive generalizations.

I'm just sick and tired of the dads on shows being mopy, inept losers. Jay on Modern Family is one of the few exceptions, though even he steers towards that at time. Why can't we have strong father figure characters on tv anymore?

Was she rocking the Mohawk? Because she rocked that style throughout the 80s (when the movie takes place) and into the 90s
