Because most people are finally catching on to the fact SJWs are full of it, and they're tired of their locusts with torches act, swarming and burning down everything in their wakes.

And yet there are still a few people, like yourself, apparently, who are still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Ok

It always seems that the people who crow about "SJWs" want these very specific parameters for how diversity should happen.

"It's only okay when it calls for it, when there's a reason", like diverse people have a reason to exist IRL.

The people you think are reasonable honestly move too slow. They think they're logical and 'liberal' but they enjoy the status quo too much to want it changed for whatever reason.

I think "those people" are expecting a certain level of realism in media. Like the BBC show that takes place in the remote and sparsely populated Shetland Islands with a cast of 10 people, and like 4 of them are various different races and nationalities. Come the fuck on, that's just pandering.

Does it make the show worse in quality, or hurt anyone?

I thought everyone in the show was pretty good FWIW

Yeah, it's a great show. I just couldn't stop wondering how all those various minorities ended up in the middle of nowhere above Scotland.

I don't remember exactly but aren't a bunch of them academics on an archeological dig?

Maybe people want representation of the actual communities that actually fucking live there.

(Anonymous) 2017-07-23 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think there's not enough characters from the Shetlands community on the series? Cause there's like... a bunch. most of the characters on the show are from there.

To be fair, the 'status quo' allows everyone to enjoy fandom without getting harrassed. The sad fact is that any fandom with PoCs or sexual minority becomes toxic, period. It happened with Homestuck, it happenes with Steven Universe, there's signs that it's happening with the Black Panther movie, and it will happen here too. With white characters, everyone can cosplay, squee, write fic, etc., without being 'problematic,' but with non-white protagonists, the majority of your viewership is going to be locked out of fandom.

I agree with the OP that pissed-off reactions under the performative guise of social justice are inevitable, but you seem like you're just mad that there's still a discussion about these issues at all because not everyone is satisfied to cast the worst of tumblr as the scapegoat for anyone discussing representation at all. I think the discussion is almost killed by irrational standards and double standards and teenagers with shipping bias, but that doesn't mean I won't give ANYONE the benefit of the doubt.
