Same, regarding the "not because of Gender" thing. I never think about the gender or sex or ethnic background of characters until someone points out "hey, none of the people in movies look like you!" I guess it's because I'm more audio-oriented, but to me, the characters are all animate problems and issues with voices. You know? They're just a vehicle for the story.

But that's just me and how I am. Not saying that it's the Best Way To Be (really, it's a little more annoying that we have to add that part in; it ought to be the default assumption that there's no emotion policing...)

I wouldn't say that I see characters in precisely the same way that you do, but I will say that personality tends to matter more to me than anything else. So, I'm usually more concerned with who the characters *are* than with what they look like.

However, the lack of female and non-white representation does bother me because it reinforces biases and bigotries in the larger population.

That's a completely legitimate way to consume media. I kind of wish I could do it that way.

For me it's like a check system. Plot and writing come first. Then I look to representation of people like me. I generally consider it a bonus if, say, a woman is the main character but I never expect it. Of course, bonuses gone wrong can turn me off something. Another example being when something is turned into an obvious sausagefest for little to no reason or if the portrayal of the women is just so mind-numbingly sexist I can't handle it. Otherwise though? It's really not the first thing I look for.

And I agree. My way isn't the best way either. It just is how I am too.

That's all fine and dandy for you, but a lot of people (including myself) would like to see a little more representation than Generic Straight Wide Dude #3927 Saves The Day. It gets really fucking disheartening after a while.
