Except then you run into a fuck ton of barriers by not being a white cis male, leaving the white cis males to produce content about white cis males.

I think you see the problem.

with the internet so widely available, pretty much anyone can start up a webcomic, novel, or what have you and build up a following. barriers to entry have never been lower.

now i realize that that most pieces of those media probably won't ever become mainstream and there's still very real issues and barriers that discourage minorities, but they're definitely available to those who look.

That's the thing, though. Mainstream representation is what we need. The barriers make it nigh impossible to break that down ourselves.

So instead of breaking those barriers down like every oppressed people that have ever achieved anything, we now just bitch about it on the internet until cis!het!white!able-bodied!males do what we tell them to?

Ah, the internet age. Abandon hope.

Considering that black characters are still largely handed stereotypes, you really have no room to talk on this.
