(Anonymous) 2012-12-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)As I understand it, it's not about whether you can "relate" to a particular character, so much as it is how people like you are represented in the media, which acts as a mirror to the culture it comes from. If women are only ever represented as love interests or one-dimensional caricatures, or not represented at all, that both reflects and shapes how people expect to view women. Similarly, if members of a particular race or religion are only ever depicted using certain stereotypes, that's how people start to think of them, especially if they don't have a lot of members of that group in their personal lives.
It's not an absolute (I'm not saying that people are mindless drones that accept what they see on the television blindly), but hey, if TV advertising didn't work, companies wouldn't spend millions making commercials. It affects expectations on a subconscious level.
