Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Supporting cool indie stuff made by under represented groups is much more meaningful than big box office movies or whatever that use diversity/representation as a means for advertising.

Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

It's totally true

although it's also not entirely a binary

Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with the other anon that it's not a binary, but sometimes because of location and costs, it's easier to support big box movies/etc that have diversity than driving 50km to see a movie that's only showing at one theatre because it's indie.

Re: Unpopular opinions

It's better for big box office movies to use diversity for advertising than not use it at all. The reason for doing it isn't important. The affect it has on society's acceptance of diversity is.

Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, tokenism and using controversy for advertising like what was done with Ghostbusters and TLJ, actively harms the cause and is slimy as hell.

Re: Unpopular opinions

Right. I totally agree.
It's nice to see someone represented as who they are, rather than the forced stereotypes or obnoxious stand-ins, just to publicize some inclusion.
And for all those who disagree, indie can be found. Quite easily too, as the internet, and film, do acknowledge those who create individually, and the ones building on the platform they've already created. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars, even a comment of thanks is enough sometimes. You just need to search.

I'll use Deadpool 2 as an example in this. I loved both movies, but Negasonic's relationship in the second sent off so many signals in this regard. There was no purpose to it, no development. Just a couple of 'lesbians' standing, at most, shoulder to shoulder- just to say- 'Hey look at how risqué were being by making this almost main character gay!'... Yukio's only lines were to greet Wade, which would have been fine comedically if she actually had a purpose aside from that. Juggernaut could have been defeated without her, the same goes for Cable's device being recharged.
Ryan has said time and time again that he'd do these characters right, that Wade is Pansexual, and so on and so forth. I believe him. What I don't believe is the medias ability to represent that.
I use this example because even in the 'big' pictures, the intent is always going to be changed in order to cause the most fanfare.

With indie, it has less of a chance to become corrupted. A story can unfold as it wishes to, and can become something worthwhile to see, while staying true to what aspects it holds.
