I get answers like, "She(character in movie) reminds me of my grandmother back in the day" or "That girl(character in movie) is like my niece going through her crazy marriage with her abusive husband). This man, who is a billionaire, creates a product that millions consume sometimes based from personal experience that speaks closely to them... except for me. His movie formulas are so tired-to me.

[@elleh10]

I agree with the guest that said, we are all consumers. We make choices by our consumerism. Tyler Perry is talented and shows that we all can live our dream. He also casts a large number of African American actresses that we might not see. He is doing other things to lift up our community. In 2013 after a friend found out I never saw one of his movies, watching the marriage counselor provided me a new experience. I did not get up and walk out, which says a lot about my consumerism in action. I also never watched it again. I enjoyed Alex Cross. The saying "variety is the spice of life" seems so appropriate. I cant imagine a year going by without seeing Alvin Ailey dancers, Shen Yun or Universal Soul Circus. We live in a wonderfully artistic and colorful world.

Tyler Perry was creating his type of comedy long before he became famous. He created the character Madea spontaneously and it was a hit. When Tyler Perry was doing small local theatre, his content was exactly what you see on the big screen now. Some of the people that criticize T.P. now have just as large of a fan base as he does. So they should be the change they supposedly want to see. You cannot be angry at a person because they are not who you want them to be.

It says that our culture only cares about things that uplift us in theory but in reality, we really could give a shit less about things of that regard. I love my people but we hoop and holler all day long about how we don't have films or music that uplift our culture and the moment that something does come along that is positive for black people, we don't really support it or we scrutinize it greatly. Black people have been saying for years that we want our own soap operas because we are not represented greatly on the current ones that are on the air. We had "ambitions" and "our kind of people" air within the last few years and those were black nighttime soap operas and both of them only lasted one season. Black people have been saying for years that we want music that is more positive and more cultured.....Andre 3000 comes out with a flute album and he is immediately crucified by this community. Black people have been saying for years that we want television that tells our story and the history of our culture. We get a show called "Underground" in that regard and it's about slavery and it gets 2 seasons and it is cancelled and Oprah has the option to pick it up on OWN but declines because she says it's not "profitable". Meanwhile this is the same woman who has trashy reality shows on her channel and thinks that's what the culture wants to see and thinks that the "story" of all black people. The point that I am trying to make here is that black people will bitch and moan about wanting something good and positive and when we get it, we really don't want it. I think that the only thing that disputes that theory is when "Black Panther" was released. Blacks absolutely went wild for that film and we dressed up and showed out and were in the theaters for it on opening day. However the caveat of that is you know most of the writers room for that film were white or latina, so it wasn't truly a black film. Tyler Perry's films are successes because of the black church. The man is a billionaire because church buses full of people went to his plays in the beginning of his career and supported him thereafter. Oh and if you know anything about being black and being in the black church, anything that you are told to do or that you hear is considered doctrine. I honestly feel like until the black community really wants better and is not just wanting better in theory, we are going to keep dealing with shitty filmmakers like a Tyler Perry or shitty ass musicians like a Sexxy Red.

Selling trauma to the black community because in his mind it is what Black people are suppose to relate to. His writing format is cringe, all of the dialogue is strictly by script with no sense of naturalism with over the top characters(SUPER Protagonist & SUPER Villains) in his predictable 3 act structure. 1. The Introduction of the sweet & honest Woman or Man 2. Suffers heartbreak, setbacks and struggles horribly but a Superhero like perfect love interest (usually an Actor/Actress with sex appeal attraction) appears so conveniently. 3. Said Man or Women rises from the fiery ashes with their new profound love or happy ending.

His success shows that movies don't NEED to cater to a white audience. That's actually a relatively new concept.

Tyler Perry, like Hollywood studios, sticks to what works. If a formula succeeds, they repeat it until it no longer draws audiences. For example, rap music faced industry disdain until gangsta rap's profitability changed attitudes. They won't alter a profitable formula. Could they support less negative portrayals? Yes, but it's not in their immediate interest. This pattern is evident in everyday life: grocery stores stock popular items, even if they lack nutritional value, because they sell. Businesses prioritize profit over societal benefit. It's Bad Capitalism when your product is designed to kill your customer.

Good news is here with shows that are featuring prominent brown leads so anyone who wants to watch subpar shows and give their hard earned money to a TP, that’s now on them. Great shows like Will Trent, Reasonable Doubt, Abbot Elementary, etc etc. movies are way too expensive to pay for nonsense but there is apparently a group of people who enjoy this type of show We are getting what we wanted more diverse content so let’s be sure to support these and push for more of these. Over time, our better choices can shift the entertainment environment. So let’s spend some more time pushing the agenda for these great shows and movies that speak to the diverse needs of the brown community. I use the term brown because the melinated community is diverse in how it thinks as well as how it looks. I think back in the time period that Paul Moony spoke, it was very relevant but things have been shifting with the new players on the block.

Seeing families and school trips dressed up en mass for Black Panther. Anecdotal as it may be. It showed me that there's a hunger for something other than stereotypes that have been presented for years. The work Donald Glover and Jordan Poole are doing. There's an underserved market out there. Not only should black creators rush to fill it. But if they begin to offer more unique, thoughtful work I think we will begin to gravitate to and eventually accept more diverse black stories and characters.
