Trying hard to ruin her career


Calling Hollywood execs stupid and scared.

šŸ˜‚ Yeah, I've seen better career moves!

The ā€œInsecureā€ showrunner and ā€œAmerican Fictionā€ and ā€œBarbieā€ actress told Time magazine that projects are seemingly only being greenlit for maximum profits and not artistry.

Duh. It's a business. Filmmakers enjoy making movies; studios exist to make money. Y'know, for all those investors.

Agreed. But if they were only being greenlit for maximum profits, there wouldnā€™t be so many woke (and going broke) projects coming out.

What has Issa been watching??
I know for meā€¦when I turn the TV on, every newscast is extremely diverse. Just about every single commercial, very diverse. Awards ceremoniesā€¦diverse. TV shows, movies, game showsā€¦.

Itā€™s like the pendulum was slammed completely to the opposite side of where it was, and the people who should be complaining now are not black people. Maybe Asians stillā€¦maybe Latinos, Middle Eastern, etcā€¦..

Stop playing the victim card, Issa. Itā€™s played out. Your representation is omnipresent, no longer a ā€œminorityā€. Maybe you just lack bankable talent.

The only color Hollywood executives seeā€¦is green.
