The hard left has definitely taken over our entertainment industry. Where once companies that made products for children brought innocence and magic to the home, they’ve now devolved into pushing sexual preferences and normalization of fringe concepts.
You cannot turn on a television without seeing some sort of message thrown in your face. This ranges from the direct, such as “Black Lives Matter” written on your team’s football field, to subtle but obvious, such as every commercial checking some sort of social justice box. The woman is always smarter and more capable than the man, the couple is always mixed race, and more and more you’re seeing homosexuality displayed.
Television shows have become so vapid and shallow that most people glom onto streaming services where they can watch movies and television shows from before the social justice blitzkrieg through the entertainment industry into stagnation. Millions and millions of dollars are exchanged for a streaming platform to host a television show like “The Office” and “Friends” for even a short time.
The modern-day issue of bad television is a result of bad writers following horrendous modern rules about what is and isn’t acceptable on television. The aforementioned boxes must be checked if the show will fly. However, one thing that is acceptable is depravity. While there might be a cap on how explicit the show can be when it comes to language, nudity, and gore (for now) the concepts that a show can come up with can reach into disgusting territory with no issues.
Enter the show “MILF Manor,” a program that’s so gross that even the left seems unable to stomach it.
The show revolves around eight mothers or “MILFs” (Mother I’d Like to F***) ranging from their late 40s into their 60s searching for love. They’re put on an island where it was revealed that eight men had joined them, but each of these men was the son of one of the women. What proceeds to happen is what one Twitter user elegantly described as “a weird mix of pedophilia, grooming, and Oedipus complex.”
During the show, one son explains that his mom gets a lot of attention because she never wears bras and the “girls are always popping out,” to which his mother responds that her breast didn’t bother him when he was a baby “sucking on them” and ads “you were really thirsty.”
One of the games they played on the show is having the mothers don blindfolds and feel the chest and abs of each of the boys until the mother is able to guess which one is her son.
How is it being received? About as well as a show like this would be or should be. It’s so gross that even leftist outlets are denouncing it. According to Rotten Tomatoes, both the critic and audience scores are rock bottom at 17 percent and 21 percent respectively.
The Daily Beast’s Laura Bradley wrote “on a societal level, and for a number of reasons, MILF Manor is a deeply distressing series.”
Naomi Fry at the New Yorker wrote “It might be a new low for reality TV, perhaps even a rock bottom.”
Even Rolling Stone of all places denounced the show with critic Miles Klee writing “MILF Manor asks the viewer to derive titillation from this psychological torture.”
For those who become enthralled by depravity, it’ll be hard to turn away, but for the vast majority of people, this show is a Texas-sized step over the line. It does give us some insight into where Hollywood is at mentally, however.
With “MILF Manor” we’re getting a good idea of where the entertainment industry would like the Overton window to be. Interfamilial sexuality has been a focus of the porn industry as of late and we’re watching it bleed into mainstream television now. The people who clearly have their own issues are now writing shows and coming up with new concepts, and they’d like to see their depravity normalized.
This is nothing short of gag-inducing, but don’t think that bad reviews or denunciations will stop more of this kind of thing from being made. These people are on a mission of normalization, not entertainment. Their goal isn’t necessarily to make money, it’s to get you used to mothers and sons having sexually charged interactions with one another.
As more time goes on, you can expect these shows to devolve further and further as the normalization process begins to take effect.
Where it stops depends on how willing society is to push back and demand these companies draw a very hard line while refusing to participate in the madness.
