modern entertainment 

Defined by existing theory (and practice) that all forms of entertainment (books, movies, shows, videogames, etc.) and its content need to reflect "the world we live in today".

Allow me to deconstruct it into several characteristics:

1. It doesn't matter if the character is likable or not, or if the actor/actress has any acting skill... as long as you're of different skin color and sexually diverse, then you're in the spotlight.

2. Male characters (especially white ones) in "modern entertainment" are depicted as bad, dumb, stupid, misorganized, indecisive and fragile. Double points if a female character is the protagonist and the male character is the villain; and triple points if the female characters can kick every male character's ass.

3. Female characters need to be uber strong, with literally no imperfections (a.k.a. a Mary Sue), can kick anyone's ass, and they do not need to have any likable features. You can act smug, put everyone's life in jeopardy, be a total prick, and just not give a care about anything in this world... as long as you are a strong female character then everybody is going to praise how wonderful and "progressive" you are.

4. All forms of entertainment that you used to like are now being remade into having more diverse characters and storylines based on identity politics. Gone are the times when people cared to craft good stories with solid characters, now replaced with craftsmanship just for the sake of representation and attention-seeking.
We need to reboot Tomb Raider once more. This is modern entertainment.
We need to reboot Ghostbusters. This is modern entertainment.
We need to create more gender-diverse shows without the "good story" requirement. This is modern entertainment.

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
