“For decades, media has relied on the ‘stoic provider’ or the ‘distant hero’ as the default for adult men,’ per the report. “Our data shows that by primarily showing men in positions of power or physical strength, we ignore the roles that young people value, defined by empathy, patience, and emotional availability.”
The kids are alright

I gotta wonder how this survey was conducted, and how the questions were asked. Like where the questions leading, ex “Do you want to see more of fathers showing love to kids, or less of fathers showing love to kids?” Or was it something more open ended?

I wish there were significant competitors to Hollywood, creating personal and original stories that don’t follow the same old shareholder-demanded narratives that have “mass appeal”. Fuck mass appeal and fuck Hollywood and their franchised drag ons. We need movies about realistic wisdom in modern times

Wasn’t there another survey that said teens don’t watch TV or movies they rather scroll TikTok on YouTube and the like?
