Unless they have discovered a way to beam a chicken sandwich over the airwaves, through my TV and into my mouth this seems like the most pointless thing ever.

Nothing says “family fun” quite so well as content provided by homophobic chicken sandwich dealers.

I’d rather support Los Pollos Hermanos.

They already run what seems to be every other post on Reddit, so why not streaming, too.

Ok_imagination ,

Sorry what do you mean by this?

BlucifersVeinyAnus Bot ,

So, you know how Reddit has posts? Well something like 53% of those Reddit posts are posted by chick-fil-a agents for various reasons.

Ever since they won the chicken sandwich wars of the early 20s they’ve been focused on invading media spaces, often quite aggressively.

Reddit is essentially a chicken sandwich propaganda wing of the massive chicken chain at this point, still quite a bit of porn though luckily. Can’t say I’m looking forward to chicken sandwich porn 🤷‍♂️

Burger King already tried the subservient chicken thing.

Chicken sandwich porn? When Popeyes came out with their sandwich, there was a trending video on Pornhub soon after titled “PAWG let me Fuck her for a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich”. The Internet beat you to that.

They may have won the chicken sandwich wars, but Taco Bell will be the only restaurant to survive the franchise wars.

Advertisers and AI bots have taken over reddit ever since Google made them the new SEO technique.

So can they stream live footage of tortured children from the anti-gay conversion camps they help fund? Maybe make people think twice about buying food there?

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Probably… not? You get so much more money when you lie. So they’ll say how much then are “helping them”, “saving their souls” (cough Spanish Inquisition cough), and the like. Lying is just kinda like, their whole thing, ya’know, bless their whittle hearts!

downpunxx ,

I hate the ownershit of Chick Fil A so very much, the Cathy's are awful homophobic born agains who've donated millions to anti lgbtq+ legislation in the united states, and third world nations, that still does so much harm today. Someone nicknamed it Hate Chicken, and that's all I've ever considered it since. Hate Chicken. Fuck a Chick Fil A.

And yet gen z despite being the queerest generation yet, gorges themselves there. Mindless consumerism

MajorHavoc ,

Is it wrong that my dream for this is that it solely pays for development of incredibly gay coded TV shows, that the owners are too homophobic to recognize?

I don’t wish that on any fabulous creatives, but I do wish that for all the money Chik-Fil-A is gonna waste on this.

I guarantee you they are doing this to specifically generate more cis/hetero content and will keep a close eye on that.

Family friendly unscripted programs.

Are we talking '90s Nickelodeon, or real housewives of the rust belt?

MrJameGumb OP ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

We should be so lucky to get 90s Nickelodeon! No, I think the article said it’s going to be mostly original programming so it’s a safe bet whatever it is will be like Hallmark on steroids

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Hallmark is an abomination to everything decent in the world. The movie channel, not the cards I mean:-).

Also, I’m literally struggling imagining how it could possibly get more saccharine than it already is?! Hasn’t it reached peak levels of evilness already, at which point where would they even go from there?

Probably just videos where you watch gay people get beat up (nonbinary and such would be too confusing to them to even watch). So “Christian” S&M.

hopesdead ,
@hopesdead@startrek.website avatar

I am picturing The Righteous Gemstones level of programming (this makes sense if you’ve watched season 3).

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

I think we’re talking family friendly like Jimmy Swaggart.

N0body ,

On its face, the idea of the company launching an entire streaming service filled with feel-good stories just to sell chicken is a bit odd. But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios — the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.

Chik-fil-A is owned by oligarchs. I guess I’m one of the lucky 10,000 today.

Lemmeenym ,

Introducing, from the makers of bigot chicken, bigot TV!

Rooskie91 ,

Oh good, more content to pirate.

circuscritic , (edited )

Sounds like it’ll be family friendly game shows and Christian reality TV.

Honestly, that might actually be a profitable model they could make work, if they don’t fuck the infrastructure up, or allow cousin Billy to expose himself to female contestants on 3 different reality shows they’re producing.

mechoman444 ,

I mean everyone else is… Why the hell not!

Lets_Eat_Grandma ,

So it sounds like nobody in this thread looked at the actual article.

This isn’t chic-fil-a. It’s the homophobic bigoted billionaire asshole who has turned a town south of atlanta georgia to a 2.7 billion dollar movie making industry by building a movie making compound. He’s trying to usurp hollywood. His studios have been the filming location for many major blockbuster movies in the past several years.

The article even mentions that the guy has sold 200 homes to the tune of 110 million dollars right by the studios so obviously he’s diversifying beyond chicken.

If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it, but i’m sure they will focus on what sells. Maybe they will try to be the epic games of streaming services where they undercut the competition by hiring cheaper labor and taking a smaller cut from the people who pay to use the studios the guy owns.

Unlike steam, nobody loves netflix, disney, hbo or any of the awful streaming services there are now. Even crunchyroll which is a bargain has a fucking awful app and streaming quality issues. Since you don’t “own” the movies on the platform you rent access to there’s no lock-in or cult following like there is with steam. Because of all this… people will go to whoever provides the best service.

we_avoid_temptation ,

If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it

There is and he absolutely will. The market for “Christian” specific everything is huge. People that buy that sorta shit also generally don’t know what a good product actually is so costs can be cut and noone’s the wiser.

ShepherdPie ,

Nah Christian movies are almost always the direct-to-dvd type of junk that you find in a $3 bin somewhere. The only one I can even think to name is Sound of Freedom and that wasn’t even so much Christian as it was right-wing fantasy. The studio that made it is a Christian studio, however.

Seems you read an entirely different article…

Chick-fil-A is reportedly launching a

but that is apparently what Chick-fil-A (yes, the fast food chain) is planning to do.

Deadline reports that Chick-fil-A is

Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment

All the article OP posted mentions, beyond saying Chick-fil-A is doing this, is:

But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios – the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.

I’m not disputing what you’ve said about who’s actually behind this; but to talk down to everyone here like that info was already given to them is rather shitty.
