It’s astonishing how he doesn’t realize that a fresh perspective could be all he needs to actually tell a worthwhile story and send a message.īut this seems to be profitable, so he won’t change a thing. It is clear that Tyler Perry has not matured in his art or even grown an inch since he surfaced in the industry. Could it also be as a result of his obsession with being self-made in the most literal sense of the phrase? Also yes. As a writer myself, I know for a fact that if you can write all that work in one year, you’re definitely writing hot garbage.ĭoes he do it out of greed? Most likely yes. Tyler Perry is the ‘fast fashion’ of Hollywood, spewing out the same poorly-written stories and only shuffling actors and settings around. Not getting the opinions of others before putting out a story is how repetitions and plot holes happen. But seeing as he clearly puts quantity over quality, he doesn’t seem to mind much. Is it not weird how he has a show called “Sistas” with no black women contributing to the creative process? The storylines are weak and he writes only from his own perspective. Tyler Perry writing all his shows himself is a good explanation for why his movies are recycled. But why make a table if you’re the only one sitting there? I understand how big a deal it is for a black person to own and control an entire production company. But why not cast a funny woman instead of reinforcing the stereotypes of black women being manly and loud? 5. Maybe they were funny the first or second time around. Let’s quit pretending we love to see a black man dress up as a caricature of a black woman and drop unfunny one-liners for 2 hours on end.
He uses the same archetypes of underdeveloped characters in all his movies because he knows people would rather dumb their brains and buy into that mess than see black people as the wildly diverse and complex individuals that they are. Not all black women are angry or loud or ratchet or self-sacrificing. Not all black men are deadbeats or cheaters or have drug problems. He portrays them in a horrendous racist light. Tyler Perry is a traitor to black people. And while it seems flattering on the outside, it is just an excuse to dehumanize them and pile on more pain.Īs someone who centres black women in the majority of his stories, Tyler Perry tells their stories so carelessly and haphazardly, like an ignorant stranger from the outside looking in which in reality he is. There is also this harmful portrayal of black women as exceptional pillars of strength. So when a woman does something wrong, she receives divine retribution, whereas male counterparts repent or get a slap on the wrist. This is most likely because a majority of his fans are church-goers and the church has not been known to historically favour women.
Or if she steps out of line, the consequences for her are always far more fatal.
It’s either illness or domestic violence or drug abuse. Speaking of hardship, Tyler Perry really loves to pile it up on black women. There’s always someone going through something terrible that their lighter-coloured counterparts cannot relate too.Īnd while hardship is a part of life and racial differences do exist, Tyler Perry’s plotlines are often far-removed from the realities of black people today. Depiction of black peopleīlackness is not synonymous with adversity but Tyler Perry seems to constantly draw parallels between the two. So why would I hate Tyler Perry movies? Am I just a hater and a mad black woman or do I have some valid points? Stick around and we’ll touch on this a little. Let’s go get 2020!!!Ī post shared by Tyler Perry on at 9:28am PST
