PBS exists. People would make things with no profit motive.
Let me ask you this; would you be okay with members of certain terrorist groups making money off movies about 9/11 or other attacks? Are you okay with that song made by the J6 choir being on streaming services?
If you are then fine, we will just have to agree to disagree. But if those ideas are irksome to you then I would ask that you extrapolate that feeling to try to understand why people flocking to see for example Killers of the Flower Moon when nobody would have gone to see it if it had been made by Sterlin Harjo for instance irritates the group of people who are the subject of the movie.
I feel like you are getting lost in the weeds from the original point. Accuracy does not negate insensitivity. Intent, however, can but does not always.
🤣 Do you think the people that produce content for PBS dont get paid?!
First of all, you are making a false equivalency. J6 rioters and terrorists are actively criminals and you are asking about them making money off their own personal crimes. It is a little different to be talking about people making shit about people in the past that did bad shit that happens to share their race or culture. You get the right?
But I'm not going to cop out of this question even if it is an unfair exaggerated comparison. My answer? No, idgaf. I care about their crimes and that they get justice for them. I dont care even slightly about their films, songs or whether they are profiting on them. If someone wants to pay to consume that shit, all the power to them. On the scale of things they have done, that doesn't even come close to ranking.
Such a weird fucking question...
