... agreed, but I assume you also acknowledge that seeing heroes that you can identify with (especially if you are not a cis slender straight white male) is something valuable for children?

I think it's better to just say "resemble" than "identify with." One of the arguments for diversity is that white, straight, etc, people should be able to identify with characters that don't share their race, sexual orientation, etc. and that kind of falls apart when you imply that less-represented people can't identify with white, straight, etc. characters.

The point is more that less-represented people have been FORCED to learn how to identify with white straight characters since the inception of Hollywood, while people who HAVE had representation for themselves never had to actually learn that.

Bullshit.

Okay, I concede that my choice of words wasn't as precise as it should have been. I was using "identify" in the sense of "feel a connection to," but to me connecting to people who don't resemble you is one of the ways I'd define empathy.
