Which I accept and I agree with.

But that concern, and the concern with representation in general concerns, don't quite go to the same place for me. I mean, if nothing else, the fact that it implies that an LGBT director is only going to make movies primarily about LGBT characters (hence increasing diversity in directors will increase representation) is already flawed. Increasing diversity in creators is important because people have good stories to tell, increasing diversity in characters is important because there are good stories to be told about all kinds of people. But if you think that representation is important as such, at some point, I think you have to accept people telling stories about those they differ from.

Plus, shoehorning talented people into focusing on represntation could cramp their style to the point of something not being good anymore.

Ellen's sitcom stands as a testament of this. I mean yeah, she got some shit, but she herself admits it just wasn't as funny in the new direction it took after she came out.

(Props to her though, the first anything tends to go bad and somebody had to do it)

Or they just not might want to. I remember one teacher in film school who was like : "you should write about our family's immigration history", and I was like "fuck no, i want to write about spaceships".

I know that's not quite the same, but you can't expect everyone to WANT to write about the own background or experience.
