Re: Fandom secrets you're too lazy to make

I fully support more diversity in media, but I think a certain way it's pushed for is hypocritical.

First they say, "There are too many straight white male heroes. Women and POC and LGBTQ people need characters they can relate to!"

Then they say, "If a straight white man is whining because he can't relate to a character that isn't a straight white man, something is wrong with him."

So, which is it? Can we only relate to characters who are our gender, race, and sexuality, or can we not? You're giving mixed messages, here.

"There are too many straight white male heroes. Women and POC and LGBTQ people need characters they can relate to!"

One, there are other reasons why diversity is important besides this.

Two, it's possible to relate to characters who don't look like you - and women, POC, and LGBTQ people have long histories of being able to do exactly that - but there's also value in have characters who do look like you. And that's generally much harder to find for people outside of the socially normative categories.

Never said that was the only reason. I was talking about it as ONE argument some people use in it's favor and why it's flawed. They can use better ones.

And you have a point with the second part but my point was that it's not delivered well.

Okay, but like... If you met someone who would only ever & exclusively eat green foods, you'd think they were a huge fuckin weirdo, right?
But equally, if you went to a buffet and they never had any green foods at all, you'd think that was also weird as hell, right?

Yes, it's only been in the last few years that I've been able to recommend movies and TV that's not problematic as fuck in how people like me are shown, and that's still only a few examples a year.
