I'm disappointed that one American subculture (Hollywood) exports a disproportionately large amount of media to the rest of the world, thereby manipulating the global perception of the USA. How would you feel if California got to elect the US president with no votes from New York or Texas?
The nature of the content that being debated here (which in the case of SOLO just happens to be gender/sexuality issues) is not the source of my disappointment. I'm just disappointed that one group has a louder voice than others regarding their means to spread ideas and enact social change.
Someone who tries to represent viewpoints of the other American subcultures (i.e. Mel Gibson) gets marginalized by the industry.
The moment when you realize that "Hollywood" doesn't actually mean actual Hollywood anymore and is a blanket term for all American/North American film and television.
Or I guess in your case... Never realize it.
