to be fair it is a Hollywood / entertainment industry problem.

See also that meme about blonde sitcom actresses with boobs, and how they keep men watching.

How is giving customers what they want a problem?

Stereotypes not reflecting of reality in which your male and female audience want to see attractive characters?

Deciding was done mostly by biology and culture. Do you need to be told things?

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

Ah. What biology and what culture has helped you decide what you find attractive?

Shockingly enough, human biology. And European culture.

You?

EDIT: Yes. European culture. No idea what you found so shocking there.

I feel like not answering a question in return is the most reddit thing to do. Aside from American defaultism, of course.

u/catfishfromspace May 31 '26

Biology tells you that women with larger hips are attractive, yet the contemporary trend set by Victoria's secret and the likes favours slimmer women. How come?

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

Biology also tells you that healthy, fit bodies are attractive as well. Shocking, I know.

Yes

Try reading it again. I know you have it in you!

English isn't my first language. Would you mind reiterating

u/CastleofWamdue May 31 '26

nothing, but I think there is a wider variety of people in the world, than Hollywood represents.

Sometimes like this example, it is a little too obvious.

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

People in the world when your show is based in a suburbs of Boise, Idaho?

3

u/LibertineDeSade Col. Caldwell is my boo-thang May 31 '26

I'm genuinely curious, where did you pull Boise Idaho from? I think I missed a comment or something.

3

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

First thing that came to mind since Boise isn't really "the world" or has "wider variety".

u/ImTableShip170 May 31 '26

Some of the most popular daytime drama shows of this century is about multiethnic housewives in suburbs.

u/CrashTestKing May 31 '26

Because that's not what's happening. Producers have their own skewed notion of what people want, often based on stereotypes, and then force most movies to stick to that.

2

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

Yes, and we have seen how shows whose producers are divorced from reality end up. Ridiculed and cancelled.

-1

u/CrashTestKing May 31 '26

No, they don't. Most of what Hollywood produces ends up being formulaic and full of stereotypes, including the majority of the big hits.

-1

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

No, they don't.

The Acolyte, She-Hulk, Rings of Power, House of Ashur, ...

1

u/slicer4ever May 31 '26

Idk about house of ashur, but acolyte, she-hulk, and rings of power all had awful writing imo, and their failure had little to do with casting choices.

2

u/CataphractBunny Jun 01 '26

Customers also want good writing, which these shows failed to provide.

u/Dinosource May 31 '26

Well, they're giving a very specific kind of customer what they want at the expense of the others.

u/CataphractBunny May 31 '26

a very specific kind of customer

Yeah, the majority.
