From this video by right-populist and noted loser Dimmy Jore
They don't have a theory of mind. We aren't part of the audience, we're more like wildlife or scenery. NPCs, y'know?
It's quite telling how popular "simulation theory" and especially "dae everyone I don't like NPCs" beliefs are among billionaires.

Talking down to an audience they hate
I love when CHUDs see shit like the She-Hulk scene mocking sexist fans and go "waaaaaah they hate their audience"
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you. The rest of us do not feel alienated by TV shows calling out sexists.
The entitled manchildren are here to explain why not pandering to a hateful minority is alienating their audience
As far as he's fallen these days, MovieBob once pointing out in a very old video, from when he still worked for the Escapist, that white male nerds are getting angry that they aren't the only target audience for nerd media anymore was a formative moment for me. Probably helped stop me from going down the wrong path.
Like thats what a LOT of this rage is about. White male nerds are no longer the most special wonderful target audience and are no longer being exclusively catered too and that makes them fucking FURIOUS. And they are reacting like the spoiled brats they are.
My Brother in Christ if you feel seen by scenes like that that is 100% on you.
Remember when MAGA chuds told on themselves by seeing the Galactic Empire being negatively portrayed in Rogue One and calling it anti-Trump propaganda? 
I missed that one but thats hilarious. I do remember that reaction to other things though like Wolfeinstein and Farcry uh... 6? The one with the southern cult leader.
Far Cry 5 is like the most cowardly game ever made. Ubisoft could have easily made the cult into overt white supremacists, which is how they're coded, and yet they aren't. They even don't identify as Christians. (There's a scene where a cultist slaps a Bible out of a preacher's hands and replaces it with their cult book)
And the good guys are all cops, small business owners, and little militia groups in the mountains that also wave American flags. Game is pretty fun though and has some cool moments.

talking down to audience they hate
Shoehorning their politics into their crappy writing
I can sympathize. I too am tired of those shitty pro-pentagon movies. Especially pro-pentagon movies about evil Russians, shown in Russia
talking down to audience they hate Shoehorning their politics into their crappy writing
I'm sick and tired of Zack Snyder shit, too!
Snyder, Bay, that git who made Top Gun, and many many more
Are chuds aware they’re not the only ones who watch movies
What do they care? They want total hegemony of content that caters to and enforces their hostile, exclusive world view.
Is he suggesting Zack Snyder or cop show writers do not shoehorn their politics into shows?
There's two kinds of thing: "thing I agree with" and "political"
Race? White and political. Gender? Male and political. Sexuality? Straight and political. etc etc
I would love to sit down and tease apart how this line of thought came to be
main character syndrome
The pervasiveness of US propaganda is not to be underestimated.
It's called status quo. Political is when you change status quo. I don't believe it's any more complicated than that.

It's only politics if it makes the consumer uncomfortable.
cop show writers
Seriously watch any random episode of Blue Bloods.
I would probably ask them to point to an apolitical show, mostly out of curiosity. I don't think I'm convincing anyone with this line of thought though
If the history of chuds being asked this question tells me anything they are going to answer the singe most political show in the history of television. Remember, these are the people who did this: https://nitter.net/9_volt_/status/827887491738894337?lang=en (I will never stop bringing this up).
I would call their mind childlike but It would be an insult to children to call chuds minds childlike.
Yeah. Ive worked with kids. Kids are much more curious and open minded then these people.
I feel the same way.
I have said "manchild" to describe people like 
but I think that's a disservice to actual children who are a lot more curious, creative, earnest, and capable of learning than an aging billionaire creep is.
Honestly there isn't a child on the planet who doesn't contribute more net good to the world in a single day then Elon Musk has in his entire adult life. And I'd rather spend a whole year looking after the least pleasant children I worked with all by myself then spend 5 seconds in Musk's presence.
So yes, I agree, describing Musk as a "manchild" is an insult to children.
Some people do have negative value to society, such as derivatives managers. The person mopping the floor in the office has positive value that the derivative manager wants to nullify to public perception by lobbying and propagandizing how little worth the floor mopper is.
Similar deal with 
hoarding the metaphorical toys and having actual contempt for children, including his own.
Hahaha yes beautiful I do not get tired of seeing it

Lol is Dore anti-union now? Is he still claiming to be "on the left"?
His fans certainly are. He’s just a bog standard garden variety conservative talk show grifter now. What other conclusion can you come to when all he does is JAQ himself off with crank antivaxx shit, hours long meltdowns over the existence of trans people, platform other conservative grifters and bloviate about how republicans are the true working class working against the globalist woke cabal or whatever.
Oh we know he's a right-winger, I was just wondering if he himself had realized that yet or if he somehow thinks he's still on the left.
It's this new/old trend of using left wing rhetoric to communicate right wing themes. I'm so sick of it and we aren't even into the election year.

not political: robocop
political: superhero show with one (1) side character who is hinted at maybe being gay
I remember about 2 years ago on the horror subreddit, there was a discussion about how the new Candyman was gonna be all political unlike the original and people were so sick of horror movies injecting social commentary all the time. I stopped taking that sub seriously after that.
I have a coworker who was ranting about politics in modern video games. I asked him for an example of a game devoid of political commentary and he said Final Fantasy 7.
These people are completely lost.
I would have told him that Antifa is short for "Aunt Tifa" and his game of choice inspired them.
I did tell him that Avalanche is a radical environmentalist group committing terrorism against a large energy corporation and he instantly rejected that idea. Saying "No, they're the good guys" so I just disengaged

They're the nonpolitical common sense consumers without an agenda or a narrative so they are the only consumers that matter. 
Pretty phenomenal case of "If people tell you who they are, believe them"
Jimmy Dore losers deserve to be talked down to because they are lower than pond scum lol
