And Mel Gibson is not on the list. That fact alone shows that this list has nothing to do with antisemitism.

Furthermore, Variety claims that Ellison’s goal is to turn Paramount into a MAGA-friendly environment, with content in the TV and movie divisions expected to be more “America-centric” and geared toward “the middle of the country.”

RIP any future Star Trek property.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 156 points 4 days ago (3 children)

"OMG, when did Star Trek get so political?!"

Um... 1966.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 22 points 4 days ago

So hilarious and so apt... I will absolutely laugh at the idea of, well what's effectively been a socialist utopia for the vast majority of contexts in it, and the show that broke the interracial kiss barrier. (on top of inter species/galaxy ones... but obviously far more shocking at the time that a white guy kissed a black woman, than a white guy sleeping with a bunch of green aliens.

Good luck with South Park and painting Matt Stone as Anti-Semitic. Fucking pieces of shit.

[–] CityPop@lemmy.today 55 points 4 days ago

Zionists call Jewish people antisemitic all the time, so yeah they will have great luck with that.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

I'm willing to bet that a significant portion of that list is Jewish.

America-centric?

Mother fucker it’s already America-centric, just look at the space Christian angels episodes of discovery to see how American it is.

Oh well, more Americans shooting themselves in the foot for foreign media to step in and replace them. Guess this is the century of China if America is giving up.

I reckon we could get 4 seasons into a Terran Empire based series before the MAGAs figure out they're being made fun of.

[–] pheonixdown@sh.itjust.works 53 points 4 days ago

You could get away with a Starship Troopers Star Trek Terran Empire series literally forever, The Colbert Report ran 11 seasons and people still think it existed to balance out the liberal bias of The Daily Show.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Star Trek: Ferenginar will probably be on the list to be made and the pilot episode will be called Make Fereginar Great Again.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (4 children)

MAGA would see the Ferengi aversion to war, xenophobia, and genocide as "too woke".

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 21 points 4 days ago

The Ferengi actually know how to run a functioning economy.

Seeing that list of stars, I didn't even need to open the article to see if Paramount was just conflating anti-genocide with anti-semitic.

They are, in case it wasn't immediately clear.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They are, in case it wasn’t immediately clear.

Basically, my eyeballs just slide off the word "antisemitism" like it's fucking mental Teflon at this point.

Good fucking job Israel, we spent nearly a century committing our entire civilization to stamping out ideas like antisemitism and bigotry against ethnic groups, and you just dragged us back to the start.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago

Yup. You'd think that a people for whom the words "never again" carry special significance would understand the irony of carrying out genocide.

[–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 86 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It is morally correct to pirate Paramount content then complain about how shit it is anyway.

And by "antisemitic", they are still going by the hilariously outdated notion that maybe last held sway in the 90s, and that means "not sufficiently subservient to just whatever the fuck Israel wants to do"?

Same.

We're quickly spiraling into a Star Trek evil timeline origin.

Zionists owning Hollywood turns out to be reality.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Israel has set back the push against actual bigotry and antisemitism by a century by literally leaning into every right-wing conspiracist talking point and wild notion about jewish conspiracies.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

They've squandered any good will a sane person could have for Israel.

The monstrous acts against Palestine haven't changed the way I view Jewish people as a whole, because I can separate religious beliefs from the actions of a nation state, but so,so many fucking idiots won't.

Israel can go fuck itself, but I really feel for all the sane Jewish people outside (and inside, though I don't think they're super numerous) Israel that are going to be targeted by actual fucking antisemitism by nut jobs.

Didn’t these people just say that genocide is bad? So antigenocide is antisemitic, therefore genocide is Semitic. Or is all of this semantics?

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Been that way since the beginning and most people where defending it. Somebody talks bad about Israel they where blackballed in Hollywood well another goes on a rant about exterminating the Palestine's and nothing. Glad people are finally waking up to it.

[–] THB@lemmy.world 82 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sounds like we need a Paramount boycott

I wonder what they think of all the UFC fighters about to be under their umbrella. Particularly guys like Bryce Mitchel, an ACTUAL antisemitic person.

Sounds like a good list to be on.

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility, since Hollywood loves to blacklist folks in general for opinions outside work. But to outright claim X, Y or Z won’t be working at Paramount seems a bit of a stretch.

There’s a lot of wiggle room in that article. It’s reporting on ‘sources told Variety’ that Paramount is making a list, but that they’re not sure who’s on it. But that they assume these people would be.

It’s all silly anyway. Even folks like Kevin Spacey eventually get back to working in Hollywood. Hollywood principles only go so far once the media attention dies down.
