Is Hickey right? Are sexist male pigs like James Rolfe the reason why TV shows targeted at women are systematically underrated?

>The more popular a show is among women, the more likely men are to give it a lower rating

WOMEN CANT HANDLE THE BANTZ

>muh rating about shows that aired 15 years ago

They set their priorities right

or maybe men and women like different things and women under rate 'male' shows

>men shouldn't be allowed to watch women's tv or have an opinion on shows that are """""""""for women"""""""""
Fucking sexist feminazi cunts

>men are not allowed to have opinions

it's only a matter of time until men's suffrage comes to an end because we keep voting for shitlord candidates like Trump

>men don't enjoy privileged white bitches in Manhattan sipping white wine and talking about shoes

WHAT A STORY!

isn't half the cast of that show dead?

>The more popular a show is among women, the more likely men are to give it a lower rating
>men tend to dislike some things women like
no fucking shit genius

>it's a " if you don't like it don't have an opinion on it" episode

>Trump
You're a fucking retard. Trump is your only hope.

>Superhero movies
>SJW politics and clickbait
I can't wait for this decade to end.

Women get salty about violent movies and video games and rate them lower than men. Such is life and free speech. Bitches need to get over it, whether a thing you like has a bad score online means literally nothing, it's a fucking number. Complain about womens rights in Saudi Arabia or something that actually matters.

Maybe female-oriented TV shows should be more inclusive.

It's only going to get worse from here. The next generation of filmmakers are being raised exclusively on capeshit and remakes.

>men don't like the same things as women

And women don't like the same things as men. Is there an overall point to this article besides stating the obvious?

TRUMP IS A SHITLORD AND HE HAS A SILLY NAME

HE USES PERFECTLY LEGAL LOOPHOLES THAT ANYONE CAN USE TO AVOID PAYING TAXES

WE NEED OUR BORDERS OPEN 24-7 AND TRUMP WILL CLOSE THEM

Yep. Way more important than migrants raping European women en masse.

>whether a thing you like has a bad score online means literally nothing
But user scores purport to be objective, it says so right in the article. If people continue to trust user scores, they trust the opinion of sexist pigs! Do you want sexist pigs to rule our media and enteraintment through user scores?

>ms
What a surprise.

This is a show popular with women 18-29.

Guess which episode the lesbian warrior character died in?

trump is the only candidate with enough balls to stand up to the SJW bullshit you should be thanking him

But capeshit will start seeing diminishing returns, it's inevitable, and studios are not going to keep making them if they're not making money. It's already starting to happen with movies like Age of Ultron and Batman v Superman being considered commercial disappointments. All it will take now is for the next big thing to come along and capeshit will be on it's way out the door.

>general war in Europe will cause unforeseen devastation and spill over into the middle east
>US will be dragged which will trigger a new civil war
>after a decade, the world a smoldering ruin and billions dead all over it will usher a new age of heightened art

Literally where is the proof

>female shows
>like 3 shows with the word "diary" or "diaries" in them
>most of the shows, if not all, are romantic dramas
>most niche fucking range of shows

>male shows
>shows ranging from comedy, drama, horror, fantasy etc.
>says TV shows on their chart but left 'Watchmen' and a Halo TV show from years ago on there

hmmm yeah nah

>The more popular a show is among women, the more likely men are to give it a lower rating

It's the other way around as well I'd think?
I can't image women in general giving Star Trek:TNG or trailer park boys a 9 on imdb.

Those ratings mean nothing because they were sabotaged by male IMDb users

there's a point to it. women tend to get underrated in the workplace in general as well. also, female students, despite being equal to or better performers than their male counter parts, are consistently seen as less intelligent by male students.

is it the sole reason why female-led shows under perform? no, no way that could be true -- but are females likely to be underrated without good reason compared to males by virtue of being female? yeah...though it seems like recent troll posts suggest that the opposite might also hold.

ain't the internet grand?

Is iZombie aimed at wymyn?

No. A claim was made about the difference in ratings for Friends, but it was a very small difference. The tone that men have no business voting for these shows and that their opinions are irrelevant is terrifying stupid.

>woman are Allowed opinions on male and female demographic shows
>men are only allowed opinions on male demographic shows

EQUALITY

...

>literally 50% of the population
>boo i'm discriminated against

Yes. Whenever women go to the bathroom together, they're eating each other's asses

Hahahahahahaaha

>And then there’s “The Angry Video Game Nerd,“ a misogynistic web show whose sycophantic Wikipedia entry made me pine for hemlock in my coffee. Everybody watches crap. Men, women, everybody.

these people are truly braindead and terrible people in the inside.

>shows not aimed at men less likely to be enjoyed by men

This is a revolutionary discovery

sabotage!

I can't stand it

I know you planned it

WOMEN ARE OBJECTIVELY SHIT

THEIR SHIT TV SHOWS AND SHIT MOVIES ARE MERELY A REFLECTION OF HOW SHIT WOMEN ARE

we really need to take these whores rights again, by force, we need to put these vapid cunts in their place with sheer testosterone driven strength

That can't be the point of this article, can it? Because if you said that women aren't allowed to have opinions about shows that are aimed at men, feminists would go insane. Well, more insane.

i believe this wholeheartedly

Nah, nigga. Shitty remakes just encourage people to go back and watch the true classics.

>A show targeted for women, performs bad with the males
Gee I wonder why. I'm sure the next step in her master plan is complain that men not buying pads and tampons is making females angry.

Are all feminist so fucking retarded?

Male ratings will rise even more next season seeing as Aly Michalka has been raised to cast regular and will thus being appearing in nearly every episode.

how can people be so fucking stupid?

user I dislike Trump as much as any other nigger, mainly because he's a buffoon and too much of a hardliner, but there is literally no other choice at this point. Either Trump or America is fugged

>The more popular a penis is among homosexuals, the more likely straight men are to give it a lower rating

THIS JUST IN, MEN DON'T LIKE THE SAME THINGS WOMEN DO! MORE AT 11!

It was written by a guy

>Emmy-winning “Sex and the City.”
how

BETA ORBITING MALE FEMINISTS ARE WORSE THAN THE ACTUAL TUMBLR PINKHAIRS

Fuck, then we are lost

why has no one pointed out that IMBD is bullshit anyway

Those women are all very successful.

I know Anita and Zoe, who the fuck are the rest?

>The more popular a show is among women, the more likely men are to give it a lower rating

How the fuck can you come to the first conclusion from that? It's outright lying. The most popular shows among women are shows like Breaking Bad that has 9.3 rating from women compared to the 8.1 of Sex and the City. Being popular amongst women actually means that the show is probably popular amongst men too because both genders like the best shows.

The strong brave women targeted by the evil Goofy Goobers.

I like how the article seems to imply that these men are all heterosexual. The truth is, most men watching women's shows are gay. But you can't criticize gay men because that would be gay-bashing.

>shows aimed at women are more successful with women
Surely all this tells us is that the people who made most of the shows had some idea what they were doing?

all victims of the terrible serial killer known as the Gamergate and by all I mean like the third and fifth

Sexist pigs can't handle strong women eating cupcakes in manhattan

Yes, women like intelligent caring insightful shows whilst men like oppressive rapist shows.

impossible now get back to your basement you trump-supporting berniebro

Enjoy your second gilded age.

>he fell for the gilded age meme

the shitty pulp serials and B-movies of the 40s and 50s led to films like Star Wars and Alien 30 years down the line. It'll be fine.

I want to move to Japan, Korea or China and only care about racism towards me, at least Asians laugh at feminists and sjw and all that shit.

Delete this!

Sex and the City is actually pretty good show and you should leave this board if you haven't watched it.

So beautiful. It's like pottery.

Well?
It's really no surprise that movies aimed at women are more appreciated by women.
I'd wager it's also true the other way around.

Sex and the City was specifically made for the victims of feminism; The women who believed the lies that they could sleep around and do whatever they want because there will always be a better man. Now they are 40, men have moved on, and they are left alone. The show tries to push the lie that they are still desirable and men want them which is a lie. They are a declining asset, a bad investment, and men are going for the startups instead.

women can't handle any sort of objective criticism, I never met a women that wasn't offended by being honest with them even though they asked me to be.

I fucking knew it!

He's got a point. This is exactly why I think all female-written reviews for The Expendables series should be removed from the Rotten Tomatoes aggregate. It's clear to me that the only way to finally defeat sexism is to judge EVERYONE exclusively by their sex and remove their personal achievements, beliefs, and personalities from the equation.

Women have shit taste.

>tfw there are people in the world that live giving all their power up to numbers as if its an absolute and that a rating literally equals hate speech or shaming

It's the same thing in fitness. Bitches hate it when there's a number telling them something they don't want to hear

but if you aim your show/film or whatever primarily at one demographic you can't be surprised when every other demo isn't engaged by it.

This isn't even a problem its just a simple fact of life. Less inclusive media will always limit its own audience.

What really gets to me is the fact this clickbait was published by 538. Didn't they use to pride themselves for unbiased analyses of cold hard data, unlike regular agenda driven pundits? What the fuck happened?

The one thing I fucking loathe is how they must always tell you something about themselves.
That son of a whore couldn't abstain from telling us about his stupid fucking coffee.

yeeboy

...I should be watching this show.

Is... is this cp?

It was hit and miss. Occasionally good catty bantz, but it went insane after a couple of seasons.

You may as well try to argue that lite beer and mcdonalds will start seeing diminishing returns. Because people will get tired of a consistent level of quality year in, year out.

I'm pretty sure at the end one of them ends up with a beta, one with a balding fat jew and one dies alone.

Oh boo fucking hoo. You misuse of the word "victim" is as bad as feminists'.

They started hiring people from deadspin.

Didn't misuse anything. Women are the primary victims of feminism.

>unable to tell the difference between an 80's ad and cp

He mentioned poisoned coffee in part of a larger analogy about how he disliked something. You could replace the word 'coffee' with any other beverage or food and the point still works. He's not rubbing some expensive Peruvian organic free-trade bullshit in your face, he literally just said the word coffee.

But there are testosterone blockers in all the food and water.

Painful being an iZombie fan though: Season 3 has been put back to a mid-season show (again) and will probably only be a dozen or so episodes long again.

Bumped from regular season probably because of Supergirl shifting to the CW. Don't mind Supergirl (Benoist is cute) but I think that SNL Black Widow parody pretty much nailed it.

Men status: BTFO, on suicide watch, never to recover.

How can you even compete?

It might not be porn, but I am still jacking off to it.

That's Anne Howe in her prime. You may know her as "but I poop from there" girl.

Not being desirable enough to get fucked regularly doesn't make you a victim. Dying alone doesn't make you a victim.
Literally who gives a shit.

>Men don't like a show about ugly, old sluts in New York that ruined the mentality of two generation of women

Shocking.
