I think he's enjoying the idea that a message will be sent to broadcasting companies that people want good stories, not progressive political PSAs.
Progressive shows can still exist, but it has to be organic storytelling.
I think this is demonstrated by the success or failure of many of these things. Movies like Black Panther told stories with a progressive stance - the Black/African superhero movie - but they put the characters and the story first. As a result, they do gangbusters.
Now, I'm just going off the trailer - I haven't watched Batwoman - but the trailer was forceful in its Progressive commercial-ness. If the show is like the trailer, that might have turned people off.
I doubt the OP is reveling in the hope of the unemployment of workers.
I also doubt most of the crew and team that puts this show together will remain unemployed for long if it goes off the air. I think most of the guys setting up lights and creating costumes will go work for other shows. Keep in mind that if Batwoman goes off the air, CW won't leave slot empty, they'll employ people to make a different show.
