Why would you even complain about that in the first place?
People tend to think that "forced diversity" is something being pushed from the top, but the people who own Hollywood are literally paying money to the right wing who limits diversity.
My personal belief is that there are simply a lot of homosexuals and trans people in the art world. Whether it be make up artists, actors or screenwriters, i think aaaaall of this is a lot more normal amongst creatives than it is among the regular population.
So obviously, its gonna show up more in movies and shows, than in real life. Because the people making the art knows these actual people.
People tend to forget when watching a movie, that just like when looking at a painting, they are in fact watching someone else art, and they are welcome to just not look at it, or find artists that more aligned with their bigoted views.
yup its literally hollywood execs, doing rainbow/ diversity" capitalism , cons think its an agenda by hollywood which are traditionally right wing pushing it as we must include gays, womens, pocs as the forefront of movies and show to show society "they arnt racist", they only care because most viewers are left leaning , right wingers dont watch anything but copaganda type shows. you can tell hollywood is still pretty racist since they barely represent asians other than stereotypes. shang chi wasnt groundbreaking for asians , maybe for SImu liu, its stereotyping because he barely had any roles after that.
As a person of color I can tell you that white liberals limit diversity more than white conservatives.
Whatever you say, day-old account. Unless you have some examples to share?
something about wokeness, and dei hypockets trying to say. white liberals dont care as much as conservatives diversity
Citation needed.
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom." -- Martin Luther King Jr.
Methods of Direct Action was the name of my punk band in high school.
Joking aside, anyone who thinks actions to change an unfair system is the problem, is obviously a fascist in disguise.
He wasn't wrong. Racists didn't put Trump in the White House. Apathetic centrists and moderates did. And no, it's not just about him. Buy it's the one of the more salient example of modern moderates allowing horrible shit.
There's the money conservative and the scared conservative. Scared conservative is racist. Money conservative only sees the colour of money
Allowing for gradations for different levels of assholes, ofc
its a variant of rainbow capitalism, i called "diversity " capitalism the execs push the race and gender swapping because the audience is mostly left leaning so they think it gives them more views on thier films or show. when in fact the audience dont care about it and some are irked they did this on purpose while making a shitty show.
