I don't like Tyler Perry work either
But who else is giving a lot of these black actors and actress chances like him ??? NO one
So I'll just hush about him bc he keep a lot of ppl fed.
meh. you dont have to hush about shit babe

fuck that
You can applaud him for that and keep it real, whether you love his work or not. He's giving out the most roles and putting out the most content, so he's naturally going to get a lot of praise and backlash as well. Hiring a bunch of non union workers on the cheap and then putting out mediocre to bad projects can almost negate the fact that they've gotten the exposure.
There aren't many downsides to getting work as an up and coming actor, but the quality of the script and role being subpar, is also a horrible feeling for an actor that wants to build a strong resume and be taken seriously in Hollywood as well. There's such a great opportunity there at the Tyler Perry studios to put out INCREDIBLE, timeless pieces that really shift the culture all over again and that's all a lot of us really want. It's not his responsibility, but it would be great to see him be open to change
