Systematically reversing gender stereotypes to the point of being aggressively regressive is not progressive. And to many of the current shows being produced, this seems to be more important than actually telling a good story. And like I said, that is my main issue with these productions.

You're flat out wrong, obviously wrong, and trolling via doing a parody of free speech advocates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41037962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41037962 EDIT: For noworriesnate: Would politely suggest you re-read: this thread wasn't a generic complaint about Apple TV+, or TV, or Woke, or the MSM, or the Liberals, or the Left, or Commies, or ideological programming, or anything else. He made a very specific claim and challenge, which I thoroughly responded to, in the link provided. Here it is again: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41037962 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41037962. If you'd like to make a more specific claim, I have a feeling you're not mocking free speech advocates like them and will support you against the woke mob

  Not really...a lot of people I know would have the same complaint. I think it shows the disconnect between you and OP, not that he's trolling.

    OP has not laid out many specific debatable complaints. Mostly that it feels too woke. Could you elaborate on what is specifically upsetting?

The color / gender of the main characters in my shows matters as much to me as the brand of car they are driving in the show. Maybe you need to find shows with a better story if you are distracted by that. > my main issue with these productions. My main issue is that most of the shows or movies these days are too dark and hard to understand without subtitles.

  > hard to understand without subtitles. My main issue with subtitles is that I don't need the lyrics in the background sound interspersed with the dialog.

    I've got an auditory processing disorder, and I tend to be glad they include the lyrics... as they're fairly frequently relevant to the plot.

    This is the difference between closed captioning and subtitles. If you don't like the music cues or other sounds being transcribed, make sure your not using a closed captioning (CC) subtitle track. Some shows will have both, some will have just one or another. It various for foreign films. It will be "English (CC)" where you just want "English". Proper subtitles just include verbal content like dialog or narration.

    In general the subtitle experience is so poor. Bad positioning over the screen, syncing with the audio, or just the complete mismatch between spoken and transcription.
