Why Priyanka Chopra’s reality show The Activist is under fire on social media

Priyanka Chopra, Usher and Julianne Hough are all set to co-host The Activist, where activists will compete to promote their causes. Here is why the upcoming reality show is being slammed on social media.

Priyanka Chopra’s upcoming reality show, The Activist, has been drawing flak on various social media platforms. The actress will co-host the show with Usher and Julianne Hough. The format of the show is being slammed as it aims to pit different activists against each other as they promote their charitable causes. Their success will then be measured via online engagement. Many people have called out The Activist for this concept. I'm confused: Is this an advanced Marxist critique to expose how competition for money and attention pits activists against each other + undermines deep change?Or just the end of the world?https://t.co/zyjLUMUPaP The good news is that no actual activists would be caught dead on this show. https://t.co/V2iW8AKQMm Fighting for issues is tough enough without having to dance and sing for a bunch of millionaires while they decide who’s worthy of their crumbs. Who ever thought this was a good idea should take a fucking seat. https://t.co/y5e05uuCb0 Turning activism into this. Philantainment. It's wretched and antagonistic to what actual activism is about. Will be interesting to see what corporations and organizations buy advertising for "The Activist." pic.twitter.com/dY6zVXsDjF Couldn’t they just give the money it’s going to take to pay this UNBELIEVABLY expensive talent and make this show, directly to activist causes? Rather than turning activism into a game and then giving a fraction of the much needed money away in a “prize?” People are dying. https://t.co/GLCUZcGgfb
