In response to those who would suggest that there are no victims for the Hollywood malfeasance cited in this author’s series of books on Hollywood, the following is a fairly comprehensive list of the victims of the Hollywood-based U.S. film industry.
Millions of parents are fooled into spending their hard-earned money and taking their children to inappropriate movies. Millions of children and adults are exposed over a lifetime to consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of certain populations in our diverse society. Such portrayals lead to prejudice, which in turn leads to discrimination and unnecessary conflict, adversely affecting the entire nation. Millions of politicians, government officials, parents, teachers and others in positions of authority are consistently portrayed as fools and bumbling idiots in Hollywood movies (the Hollywood antiauthority themes). Millions of Arabs and Arab-Americans, African-Americans, Latinos, Women, Gays/ Lesbians, German-Americans, Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, Southerners and others have been victimized by Hollywood prejudice expressed through the consistent negative and stereotypical portrayals of these populations. Millions of Christians and Muslims are also regularly portrayed in a negative and stereotypical manner in Hollywood films.
Thousands of large and small investors foolishly believe that they will be treated fairly by Hollywood deal makers and accounting practices. Hundreds of small independent producers cannot get their movies into decent theaters because they are squeezed out of the marketplace by the releases of the major studio/ distributors, whose movies are not always of better quality, but who use anti-competitive business practices to gain leverage over the exhibitors.
Moviegoers of all types who are regularly misled into thinking certain movies are worth seeing and are wrongfully separated from their money by massive and misleading Hollywood advertising.
Many members of the many racial, religious, ethnic, cultural groups and regional groups in America cannot make their important cultural stories onto the screen because of the prejudice held by those who control the industry.
