I wouldn't be surprised if most of the things I like were written by white men, but that's because most of the popular or promoted mainstream shows are written by white men so it's a statistical thing? I rarely ever know who wrote things I like, so I doubt it's a bias in that way

Do people really look up who wrote what? I have no clue who the writers are of most of the media I like, am I alone and oblivious?

Yeah absolutely

not even just as a political thing, or even just in fandom. There's a lot of people who pay a lot of attention to stuff like showrunners and writers' rooms and stuff like that.

see for instance joss whedon, stephen moffat, shonda rimes

But is a lot of people most people? Idk I feel like most people who aren't paying attention to that on purpose who only watch the shows have no clue, like me

oh yeah I have no idea about the relative proportions, and I doubt anyone does

but it's definitely a big enough thing for it to be a topic of conversation in fandom

I do pay attention to who writes and even directs shows and episodes because I'm just interested in that stuff. I also pay attention to shows created by women and non-whites just because they tend to be rarer and I like variety and I'm not white. I don't feel bad about watching and enjoying shows written by white men and don't think people should beat themselves up because of it, but I do feel disappointed that there isn't more variety so I do tend to be conscious of the disparity.

Sometimes I know vaguely who wrote this or that...but most the time I don't know all that much about them. (Unless they're quite popular or controversial and I learn from being in fandom.)

There are certain pieces of media where I know TPTB well, but that doesn't happen often.

Nope. I have zero idea who writes my favorite tv shows and/or movies, unless the writer is a 'big deal' and fanon is all over it. I'm ...totally oblivious to that.
