Members Vee Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 (edited) Perhaps we can start giving BTG more grace and respect by asking people in this thread not to call it "officially trash" before it even airs, and spamming it with videos that call Michele Val Jean, a legendary soap scribe with decades of great work, 'a bootlicker'. But that's just my take. Edited February 3 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 Amen to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vanguard Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 It's going to have to be accepted at some point that people are going to say what they want to say. If BTG is destined to survive then it will, irregardless of any viewpoints that those may have. But we ain't seen nothin yet. Just wait until that first episode airs and then look for the plethora of online articles afterwards of those seeking to tear it down. This show has a PREDOMINANTLY black cast and there are those, perhaps many, who already despise it for that alone. So like Anita Dupree said "GET READY." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 (edited) I'm not talking about anyone else. I'm not discussing hypothetical articles. I'm asking why you think the show is 'officially trash' and are cosigning the opinion of some toxic YouTube troll who you said was 'totally right' that Michele Val Jean is a bootlicking sellout. Was it before or after they didn't set the show in the location you wanted? Didn't cast the actors you wanted, or didn't use the fanfiction characters you invented in this thread based on the version of the show you invented in your head, in this thread? You're right that people have a right to their opinions. But this is the first new American soap opera on network television in over 20 years, and arguably the bulk of this forum is excited about it, including a lot of people who have been here a good portion of those 20+ years. I think they have a right to that space, and to not be inundated with preemptive negativity and nastiness. I don't have any authority to tell you what to post, where to post or how to post, and I can't report you for it. But I am going to call you on what you're saying, and ask you to back it up. And if you can't, you might want to consider reconsidering til February 24th. Edited February 3 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 I've began accepting the fact that this beautiful project (now a reality) called "Beyond the Gates" will shine brightest and strongest... in moments when it's being surrounded by toxicity and trash. Even if God himself came and head-wrote the show... some particular people would find extreme faults or something to hate or ridicule. And I'm not talking about the normal constructive criticism or dislike of certain aspects (that is welcome and should not be repelled), but pre-directed, pre-planned, derogatory, passive-aggressive, all-kinds-of-phobic agenda that we've all seen and reacted to in this topic. Agenda whose main focus is to create a toxic atmosphere and distort the reality. To change the fact that... till now... the reaction to the show has been amazingly positive. And just like a stunning rose in midst of hideous weeds... becomes even more beautiful when she is being surrounded by ugliness... this obvious, transparent and quite laughable agenda will be just that... a boring weed you have to look at... sometimes... because it stands next to the rose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 I will keep it cute and simple (and to soap specifics), and say I agree. It's overdue that soaps get the recognition as a genre (overall) that they deserve. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 It's funny how some troll on YouTube called MVJ a "bootlicker" and a sellout when YT is nothing BUT bootlickers and sellouts, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 Exactly; seems like that person is butt-hurt the NAACP won't acknowledge their lacklustre creations they try to peddle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted February 3 Members Share Posted February 3 That's exactly what it is. That low level troll is mad he isn't making it and it especially burns him up to see a Black woman have her ideas brought to screen. YouTube is full of Black woman hating Black men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
