Is it normal, that i hate american media?
I'm from america and I have grown to hate the country's media. I hate how everything is so sappy and shallow. The entertainment industry seems to have a thing against people aging naturally. They promote the use of chemicals and botox which barely do anything. True botox will tighten a face, but it won't make someone beautiful. I find that true beauty lies in aging naturally.
Another thing is that the media tears down people's self-esteem. Promoting ideals like you must lose weight or get a makeover to be beautiful and make it big. Why can't they let people be themselves?! I'm tired of reality shows. Competition shows like "America's got talent" follow the same pattern. Potential contestants often come on there with a sob story like: "My father walked out on us and my mother was left to take care of us" or " I have a disease",etc. Why don't they ever say that their mothers walked out on them and they were raised by their fathers? Why are there so many deadbeat dads? Why can't people keep their diseases to themselves instead of telling the whole world? Do the producers make them say these things or are they trying to guilt trip people into voting for them and keeping them on the show? Why can't they believe in the contestants talent? I'm baffled.
Most cartoons now are pathetic. Cartoons in the 90's and early 2000's were good. There was nicktoons and toonami. Even disney had some pretty good shows. Then, cartoons started to get phased out and channels started to bring in more live-action shows. Disney had shows like That's so Raven and Even Stevens, but now there's nothing but crap on there. Tv used to care about real problems and so did the cinema, but that's polluted now too.
Films in america are made mostly by big corporations that only care about making money and are willing to churn out crap films just to reach that goal. Most of the films are the same. Cliché and a fake. I also hate when americans remake classic films especially from foreign countries. They almost always get ruined with the same sappy cliche crap! It's sickening. Why can't people get together and prevent these atrocities? I really miss indie films. I've been told that it's very hard for indie films to be made in this country and that it's easier to make them in other countries. I've noticed this to be true and it's a shame.
Is it normal for me to feel this way about the media in this country? Does any else get mad over this? I hope that things would change, but they probably won't.
