Yes, that's what I meant, not "it doesn't affect me personally" but "it's not a major priority for me", excuse me for not wording that better. As you said, this is an issue that ultimately affects us all. But I do disagree with the idea that simply liking something that lacks diversity contributes to the problem. That suggests that it's impossible to consume media with a critical eye, and that doing so doesn't contribute to future diversity. I've definitely encountered people who'd rather consume uncritically, but I don't consider meaningful criticism and enjoyment to be mutually exclusive.

If you are critiquing, then you're saying you do care. I consider critique a form of care.

Also, I think I am speaking from a sense of capitialism, which does exclude countries/entertainment which don't work from the same principal, so excuse me for that. Unfortunately, I don't have a say in creator politics except by quantity (creators can listen but they don't have to; most things are encouraged to be profitable and profitability is judged many ways but always by quantity [in tv by ads which are valued by how many people see them, in books/music by how many are sold, in plays by full houses, etc]). So yes, continuing to watch something is encouragement of that thing and more of that thing (especially in key demographics which do seem to hinge on oppressive lines), despite any relevant critiques.

In other words, if critiques are ignored by the creator, if the tone is "it has problems but keep consuming", how is diversity furthered by consumption?
