Entertainment insider says ESG funding is why woke entertainment keeps getting made despite losing audiences

Former Anheuser-Busch executive Anson Frericks weighs in on why companies like Target and Bud Light are alienating their customers in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion on'Jesse Watters Primetime.' Mark Kern, a former team lead of the popular online game "World of Warcraft," claims the video game industry and entertainment at large cater to progressive views in their content in exchange for access to money. Fans of beloved franchises like Indiana Jones have become frustrated when they think movie studios and writers have adopted divisive identity politics or gone "woke." Kern puts the blame on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) consulting companies that often work with a movie, series, or video game in development and help write or influence their stories. While some games with DEI consultancy influence such as "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" and "God of War: Ragnarok" have met commercial success despite pandering to liberal identity politics, the recently released "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" has been widely panned for both its gameplay and its story. This game was so poorly received that Discovery Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels on February 23rd amidst the company's Q4 2023 earning calls declared, it "has fallen short of our expectations since its release earlier in the quarter, setting our games business up for a tough year-over-year comp in Q1."
