Reply to comment by Midnight_Oil_ in Mo Brings Plenty Was About to Quit Acting. Then Came ‘Yellowstone.’ by Reditate

It feels like a large part of reddit is actively against enjoying anything media related .

There's a large part of reddit that thinks Yellowstone is conservative propaganda.

Reddit is probably the worst at media awareness. Hell even the weird shippers actually LIKE what they watch.

You are right. I've seen a lot of that.

John Dutton, obviously a hardcore right-winger self-proclaimed "eNeMy Of PrOgReSs", is elected governor and the very first thing he says behind closed doors is "f this state, the only thing that actually matter is the raaaynnch". It is shown repeatedly that the only way he has been able to maintain his iron grip on his enormous amount of land - that he inherited and did nothing to earn himself - is through violence and corrupt dealing. This is obviously not a good or heroic person or family.

Ironically, it seems like a lot of conservatives see the show as conservative propaganda...which is scary, considering the above, but not surprising.

Finally, it is ok for bad guys to be right sometimes, and many redditors seem to struggle with that idea. "Villain protagonist loves natural things and wants to protect them from overdevelopment"...didn't everybody love and connect with Thanos as a villain for having this same take?
