Would you rather have 0 representation, or 1 token representation?
We aren't limited to those 2 bad choices, so I choose neither. Make original stories with proper representation.
Unless you are creating them, that's not your choice to make. The third option is getting nothing then.
Regardless of what you choose to consume or not consume, you have the option of voicing your opinion. That's great, I love that.
And if/when we have plenty of media that offer true representation, you can judge token representation as much as you want. Because you are right.
But until we get there, don't underestimate the power of a little bit of representation, please.
That choice is being made, maybe not by mainstream but it does exist.
Tokenization isn't representation. Tokenization undermines representation. I don't believe we should accept it as such.
I genuinely believe no representation is better than tokenization. It is much easier to educate someone who knows nothing, than to reeducate a misunderstanding.
And this is the core of our disagreement. I guess time will tell.
