It seems Germany still makes period pieces that lights Europeans in a good light. Is continental culture less blacked than anglo ones?

Bridgerton is disgusting trash. They got a little white girl that looks 10 years old and a black dude that looks 50 and half the show is extended sex scenes. British show I believe but Netflix of course shoves it in everyone's face.

Euros are cucked as hell also.

and half the show is extended sex scenes.

Every bloody show today seems like that. I'm no puritan but is it too much to ask to watch a show without graphic and pornographic levels of sexuality included?

Kind of a sign of the times. People don't have families that much anymore -- especially that all important 18-29 demo they covet -- so the art they consume has just become porn with complex story lines. You couldn't watch it with your family.

(Old man rant over!)

75%-90% of Hollywood period pieces have completely inaccurate costumes and/or history.

For more, I can recommend some YouTube channels that are critical of the costume and/or historical accuracy - or just discover them yourself.

It's not so much historical inaccuracy I find irksome -- though it doesn't help -- it's the reasons and ideology that underlie the ridiculous levels of insertion of minorities in to these period dramas. It's not an artistic choice in most cases it's a deliberate imposition of a worldview.

I can accept people making artistic choices or even just choices brought about by necessity. That's fine. But this is not the same thing.

Bingo!

It's one thing to be lazy with the costume research and/or try to revise it into a palatable sense of fashion - it's another thing to completely misrepresent history, often when there's abundant narrative evidence. Fudge this, dramatize that, tweak it for a compelling story - but far too often they're deliberately misinforming people to push propaganda narratives and social engineering.

Not only do they do the diversity thing with Shakespeare plays where I live -- less and less are being put on as well and more 'new artists' are putting on awful plays -- they just flat out tell you 'We're editing out these problematic aspects of the play.'

None of them seem to comprehend how utterly mental that is but they brag about it like it's moral and sane.

It's moral and sane if you're brainwashed, like anyone who has dogmatic faith in government, corporations, the media. experts, or religion. Systems for oppression.

Because of budget though.

That could excuse a few, but not so many.

'The Great' on Hulu is the same shit. Let's have every good character be black and every villain be white. I think it all started with Hamilton.
