The 7 Lives of Lea  

- a Genenda (sic)

TVMA - 2022 - Netflix

 

By now everyone knows that TVMA doesn't mean anything when it comes to the actuality of who sees what.  It's rated this way because of content that is in the "MA" class, but that doesn't make it mature.  It is obviously aimed, [yes I can use that word because I am a free agent and write whatever I want to on this blog.  I am not in a union, or conscripted by a company, or a slave to a cultural bias or ideal that is corrupted by political power or money.  Ah hem...so...] ...aimed at the youth culture that are it's main cast, most of which are in high school, which is that period where gender, sex, relationships, and figuring out our place in this world are the driving forces behind our actions at that age.  So why not influence, right?

 

It IS mature if you're the producer, meaning that as a producer, the world of Netflix is not immune to onslaught of the gender agenda.  Gendenda?  That's a good new word.  Might as well adopt it, make it part of the lexicon of actual English words, just like so many other revisionists have done.  Like "gay" for instance.

 

I don't care what you think of me as a reviewer.  It's more important to tell the truth...call the spade black and the flower yellow, whatever...honest dialogue is lost now in any case, because we've left the solidity of common moral belief, and are chasing after our own "dream", whatever that is.  Ok, I'm not part of that.

 

But the producers of this show are definitely sold out on the idea that crossing genders is a "normal" part of life, and to hide such things is a bad idea all around.  

 

Let me phrase this as if I were the producer of this show, or in a conversation with one of the writers: 

 

 "Listen, to have stability, to have peace, to bring maturity, kids need to make decisions early about who they are.  If they have feelings for the same sex, it's better for them to get it out now, to say it.  I want this show to be all about that, so set it up that the parental figures in the story have actually LIED about who they are, and it brings about ruin in the end.  The main character, she sees through that.  And oh, make sure her best friend is definitely gay, and show her in a normal relationship with a girlfriend, yet she can also have a straight friend as well and it's all good, right?"

 

Look, the world is full of ideas.  But one idea that is simply intellectually, morally, historically, and psychologically insufferable, is that people in high school can make good decisions about their choice of gender attraction.  EVERY kid on the block has at one point or another "thought" about the same sex, and we know for a fact have explored those thoughts and feelings in real life.  That does NOT determine sexual preference.  A kid playing Doctor with the same sex kid next door does not "make" them homosexual.  Nope, most likely it is the presence of a pushy, deterministic, decidedly ultra-liberal, biased piece of MEDIA that pushes our children to believe that their feelings in this way "mean", or are conclusory, that they are homosexual, and therefore might as well "come out with it".  

 

Ok, so...Netflix, why don't YOU come out with all of the notes from your internal meetings between writers and producers, and....oh yeah, the people who pay the bills in general at your house, so we can read them for ourselves?  Mel B?  Shawn and Dan L?  Noah B?  Jerry S? ...a host of others?

 

Like that's going to happen.

 

And why do I get the sneaking suspicion that if I keep writing like this, my blog will mysteriously disappear one day? Well, only if it gets noticed.  Like it ever has.  Only 11K views.  That's not enough weight to throw a glass of water on a volcano.  BUT...I'd bet there are not just a few of us out here with glasses of water like mine to toss.
