Yep! It isn’t representation, it’s homogeneity while creating one job for each checkbox. Representation includes culture and perspective.

I usually make myself figure out the 4th connection before clicking on the items to reveal it. But today it just wasn’t clicking.

idk, I've definitely been in groups of college friends where we've been like "Wow, we're like a diverse stock photo," because we have One of Each. But, of course those people would have family members and friends from their own culture/group as well.

How do ya feel about East Asian Dragons (Chinese/japanese) ?

I can understand the argument that it’s not representation. (Or at least not realistic or substantially beneficial representation.)

But I don’t get why you’d call it homogeneous. Surely that would depend on how the characters were written?

TV Tropes offers up the term “Five Token Band” if anyone else wanted some specific media examples.

I can understand why you would want this, but I also think this desire is almost completely against the aims of the show.

I watched a bit past season 5 and while, like OP, I enjoyed a couple of episodes, the story ending at Swan Song was something special. It ended there, as far as I'm concerned.

(Anonymous) 2025-01-08 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Sigh, same. Like, I get it, I know that wasn't what they were going for, but it didn't stop me from hoping and wanting more.

I think I’m pretty similar. I did like reading The Enchanted Forest Chronicles with my niece (Dealing with Dragons, etc).

The whole “princess kidnaps herself and runs away to live with dragons” was a fun twist on the classic tropes. But I don’t think I ever cared much about the dragons themselves.

Your Buffy and DS9 picks are spot on, I would have also said Band Candy, the Wish, and House of Quark.

I just think there were too many possibilities with this one. Like, I swore I got green but maybe I mistook one word for another.

What are your fave magical critters?

I love dragons, but hate it when they have completely human forms instead of a humanoid dragon/lizard one. Make them human sized, sure, but at least keep them scaly!

Dragons are my absolute favorite fictional creature. If dragons are involved, I'm in.

Ugh, I was so annoyed when Supernatural did that. Just, no. I want dragons to be dragons.

In American media they’re all written to be white middle class suburbanites. Sometimes they’re meant to be urban but are obviously written by suburbanites with little to no experience with urban living. Homogeny is really the best word I can think of to describe it tbh.
