>I think there are many people who do. Probably not the majority, but many.
And why should we care about what this "many" want here really (who aren't a majority)? Why don't they just crowdfund some white-only stuff? It's quite clear that the impact of this group isn't enough to change what TV shows and films get commissioned.
>Well the idea is not just a search filter, but to have streaming services that also create content.
Go help fund and get a kickstarter going for this white-only streamer then.
> Imagine if there was more companies like Netflix that produce their own content, but unlike Netflix, there would be one that creates content for straight White people. Something that would appeal to the anti-Wokes. Then there would be one that would be for queers, where you would have all sort of queer content. And there would be a women's streaming service that would make the kinds of movies that women like to see like RomComs or something. More choices, more content, and more competition.
Those are not the only three things people are interested in. I personally could not give a fuck about the racial or cultural composition of a cast. It matters not even slightly to me barring historical settings.
Why can't there exist a streamer that does LGBT themed content, AND women-themed content? AND sci-fi? And legal dramas?
>More choices, more content, and more competition. Don't you think this would be the best solution for everyone? I'm trying to compromise here. Because the alternative is a fascist dictatorship where I am the dictator and I assure you that you won't like that very much.
No, it's not the alternative. You do not get the deciding factor on what happens if this does not happen. Companies should be free to commission and buy what they like to share on their platforms.
Netflix is free to commission whatever shows they like. They go for multiple audiences: LGBT, women, international content fans (Korea), sci-fi, fantasy etc. So are the others.

Most content 20 years ago was created for this group, but then the Wokes came, and they believed that we should no longer cater to these White cis heteronormative people because they had it too good for too long. They need to be de-centered. And for some reason all these companies feared the Wokes and submitted to their ridiculous demands. And here we are today. Where you have a company like Disney churning out shows like the Acolyte that appeals only to Wokes but no one else ending up with an audience score of 14%.
Go help fund and get a kickstarter going for this white-only streamer then.
Easier said than done. White people aren't allowed to do anything collectively or act in their own interests. Whenever they try they get persecuted, harassed, called Nazi, etc. There was literally some guy who tried to start a charity for White people and it was shut down. Now black charities, those are fine.

I'm putting my Nazi uniform back on.

And there are plenty of other successful TV shows not made by Disney that have cast compositions you do not like. That Disney has many stinkers doesn't have any relevance to the wider TV atmosphere.
Crowdfund your only streaming service.

Then complain about that specifically. That's the problem. Isn't this what the Daily Wire is doing anyway?

Because I won't hold to your obviously false dichotomy? What I'm getting here is that you admit your worldview is unpopular, that it fails in the marketplace of free ideas, but that you want to impose it anyway.
And you did not answer:

I don't believe we have a free market of ideas. If we did then my side would win. I believe that the game is rigged in favor of ideas that are not popular. Ideas shared by only a tiny minority of people. But those people have taken over all the levers of power and over every institution here in the US. And they are imposing their ideas on everyone else. Most of us don't want them but only half of us are willing to be vocal about it. The other half is either too scared or too apathetic to voice their displeasure. I know people personally who hate all the woke shit, but they don't complain about it often because they rarely watch TV and they don't pay attention to the news, so it doesn't really affect them that much.
But the moment they started watching more TV shows on Netflix the more they started to complain.

There can be. As long as there is a network that excludes any LGBTQ themed content.

No reason whatsoever to believe this. Why hasn't the Daily Wires entertainment succeeded?
>I believe that the game is rigged in favor of ideas that are not popular. Ideas shared by only a tiny minority of people.
What ideas are these?

If they rarely watch TV or don't pay attention to the news, then they by definition aren't having any impact. They don't account for all the people that do watch all the 'woke' content you so despise.
>There can be. As long as there is a network that excludes any LGBTQ themed content.
Daily Wire is doing that.
