It's the same issue that mainstream gaming has gone through that's lead to the ensloppening of video games, by trying to mass market appeal to the largest audience you have to file down all the edges and make it as bland, basic bullshit as possible to not step on any toes and just coast on a constant stream of complacency. Never do anything that will rock the boat, shake up the status quo, delve into niche interests, etc because that all risks alienating some part of the formless grey mass you're cultivating.
Not every thing needs to be for every one. There are fringes, corners, niches and outliers everywhere but the retards in media are trying to figure out how to compress a dodecahedron into a flat line, eliminating all the nuance and trying to sell a product made to appeal to the flat line purists to the same dodecahedronists who just witnessed their fantastically nuanced little gay ball get commercialized for a larger group that doesn't understand it but has bitten the marketing hook of "funny ball is funny".
Stop fucking homogenizing fringe media, I ensure you, there's enough homos anyway.
