RIP Hallmark. Now old people will find somewhere else to watch their boring cliched holiday movies. Without the elderly holiday movie watcher demographic, they are done.

Logo tho

I'm kind of surprised though. Hallmark Channel has its roots in Christian programming.

I mean why not. All their movies are the same. Change it up once in a while with a same sex romance and it's still the same movie.

Hallmark was is a safespace. Honestly with a network like Logo I thought they would do one. Plenty of black shows on BET.

also from the Family Guy example: successful businessman is perpetually harried and flustered, as opposed to the totally suave and mellow love interest

hallmark romance movies are mainly aimed at straight women
do you know what demographic made the show queer as folk a success?
it wasnt gay men

it was basically softcore gay porn and straight women fucking loved it

As a gay person myself I would like to say please, NO.

It's weird and cringey enough when straight people binge watch formulaic Hallmark crap...

If this happens then I'm very interested in seeing how my parents and relatives react due to being very christian and shunning homo stuff. Hell, general hospital has a couple on it atm and the one pokes at it like the actors are suffering horribly because of their characters and finds it funny for some reason.

Not like it's going to be much different than their copy paste generated template. Though I'm predicting it will somehow be considered worse/inferior for some reason... even if it's 99% the same as if it were just a white woman with a black woman friend who encounters some spiteful woman who tries to drive a wedge into her good spiritedness that leads her to some dood she mouth bangs.

Though it does remind me yesterday I heard them commenting on 'didn't we watch this the other day' 'no, it's just the same people they keep rotating out'

I get that, but I still think it's better to include LGBT representation in ALL types of media and art, including the cringey shit. It's about adjusting society as a whole to be more inclusive.

I agree. Equality of cringe shit is very important to equality as a whole.

  • Person A is working in a big city in a high powered position, everything is going right for Person A except for love
  • For some reason Person A has to go visit a small town in Minnesota or something around Christmas time
  • Person A meets Person B, a single mom or dad with a precocious 9 year old son or daughter
  • Person B introduces Person A to the virtues of small town living and the spirit of Christmas
  • They fall in love and ultimately Person A gives up returning to The Big City to stay with Person B, Person B's kid, and work at a fucking hot chocolate store or something
  • The End

Only part missing from that is Person C who is an old love or some snooty person trying to drive a wedge between them or do mean things like change the cookie recipe.

Sometimes they even bring in a dog or cat and it's the acclaimed highlight of the movie.

It's crazy that all these beautiful young women give up successful professional careers as lawyers and doctors to bake cupcakes, litter their houses with Christmas knick knacks, surround themselves with other people's kids, flirt with asexual beefcakes, and submerge themselves in small town gossip.

It's almost as though someone put the brain of a 50 year old working class house wife into the body of a Millennial former child actress.

Fuck, I just came up with a new idea for a horror movie.
