I think hes amazing for giving our people roles
But I swear, he doesnt put much effort into his stories
I know feeding into sterotypes is easy for sales
But fuck, think outside the box sometimes
the MAJORITY of his mess is AIDS, CHEATING, and ANGRY black women
But he tried thinking outside the box
And I didn't use tbh. The serious mess isn't for him.
And I mean there's truth in stereotypes. Are we not on here discussing how "angry" some Black women seem all the time? (I don't really agree with that generalization but I've definitely seen it)
I wouldn't call cheating a Black thing . Not with a movie like Fatal Attraction around. Drama sells. Just because cheating is a theme in the movie with a primarily Black cast doesn't mean that it's reinforcing a stereotype.
Also, AIDS isn't a very recurring theme in his movies and shows that I've seen. I remember one movie having the storyline of Janet contracting it from her downlow lover...and honestly maybe some women needed to see that mess. Downlow tea is a very real thing and that has definitely happened to many women but I'm sure every woman wants to believe her man could never be like that.
I've seen so many women talk about how they just pop a birth control pill and spread it wide to their man so he can raw dawg it, and I cringe. You don't REALLY know where he's been. You'd like to believe you do, but you don't. And if he's out there sticking bumpin' and grindin' with other men in the hood with no condom, there's a 50/50 chance he's been exposed to something, according to the Center of Disease Control.
Truth hurts but it's real out in those streets. I think Tyler touches on real shit.
SDDDDDDDDDDDdd
no not ALL of his movies invovle aids, but its been implied in a bunch of them

"be careful..."
Like, I know what black people are referring to with sex

he wants us to believe this is a real BLACK mess and i know exactly wtf theyre talking about
But, I agree, he does hit real topics
But his movies are ALL the same. That Alex mess was one time he ventured left
My point is, maybe he should write with others and all his mess wouldnt feels so samey
Tell me you cant predict a tyler movie after watching for 30 mins
