I kind of find it funny to see people younger and younger still spout the "seeing people of my color" when referring to T.V. shows. I grew up in the 90's and I remember quite a lot of different shows that had main casts that were of a color not white and the number of those shows just grew and even ballooned more and more. So this talking point for anyone younger than the age of 30 is mostly just bs and every second you go down in age is more and more just plain bs. And it's ironic that you don't see say a 60 year old black man on T.V. Making this claim when for that guy and that demographic of people that statement very likely would have been true with little doubt.

as a disabled person i can attest that anybody that says they care about disabled representation on screen is a liar who is only using their disability for personal and political gain. i dont go to the movies to remind myself of the pain my disability causes me i go their to escape it. having disabled people on screen that share my disability just brings that disbility to mind. also if the disabled person is shown to be able to do things that one could not actually do like for example somebody with extream back pain wielding a great sword it gives others real world expectations for disabled people that are unrealistic which is one of the worst aspects of being disabled.

I suffer from chronic pain also. Yes fantasy is to escape the pain not be reminded of it. In the lord of the rings Frodo due to the knife wound he took and carrying the ring basically became changed and it was a wound that never quite healed. So he couldn’t be a part of normal hobbit life anymore and left in the boat. That’s basically a disability but it’s part of the story and makes sense. I could identify with it.

I stopped listening to them the second one of them told me she was non binary yet didn't understood why people could not see her as a boy. I said do you even hear yourself?

I'm truly confused by this idea of being represented. As kids we used to pretend to be Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, and the Macho Man while we destroyed my friend's mom's furniture. We were imitating their behavior, not the color of their skin. No one bickered over who was what color, it was who was the biggest badass. Never once in my life did I feel represented by someone on TV, or in reality for that matter.

@invictusbp1prop143 2 жыл бұрын

That's because you were under the spell it white supremacy growing up but now people are more enlightened and know how to grapple with the stereotypes you were so accustomed to accepting in your racist schools and play groups and racist racisms with systematic systems of systemicry and deeply rooted bias so rampant that it was normalized and fooled even those who were discriminated against. They were so badly victimized as victims that they didn't even recognize the victimization they had to suffer at the hands of the victimizers... They were so traumatized they didn't even know they were suffering trauma. Even while it was happening. Like because they didn't even have designated safe spaces for diversity where diversity could be enjoyed and learned from with all the diversity. Back then they would just let anybody into spaces. So it would be like all diverse people there then they would let white people come in and ruin it.

Exactly! It's actually repulsive to me to keep hearing someone say: Oh, I really like it that the characters look like me! WTH? That's progress? Just like you, I didn't care at all what the characters looked like - I only cared that they were powerful, courageous, righteous, and I still think like that. If someone white said these things, everyone would understand that is a terrible way to view stories - that it's incredibly racist (and/or narcissistic). How can they be so blind...

I think it's because that most people still can't accept that white people are the most attractive color of the skin so they are selling better. It's a well known scientific fact. But woke people want to put non white people in movies Wich could be fine if it wasn't because the color of their skin but for the plot. A movie/ show is made to escape reality or make a message and a moral to think about, not being woke and putting every person in the world in just to put them in. People forget acting is a serious job. Who cares about representation?

I'm just gonna say it: there doesn't seem to be much "diversity" amongst these "super fans." They're British, but from what I'm looking at there's only one caucasian. Pretty sure white people in the UK still represent more than 20% of the population. And not a single white male, despite the fact that before the movies came out, I suspect that most of the hardcore fans were white males. But even looking past race, let's talk about the lack of diversity as it relates to opinions. It's not bad to be a "super fan" who was underwhelmed with that trailer. It's not bad to question the substance of what was the trailer. Instead they had a trailer full of 'yes men,' or should that be 'yas queen.' 🙄 And with that said, it seems like LGBT+ "super fans" are overrepresented. The word "diversity" has an established meaning...and it's not "non-white." Can't believe I have to explain that! 🙄

Why do you think there’s been such a drastic decrease in overall quality in TV & movies in the past 5-6 years, especially with writing? Not to mention blacks only comprise 16% of the population and yet demand 50% representation in every industry.

Amazon like many other megacorporations before just bought the Lord Of The Rings IP willy Nilly not understanding the history behind it. They never probably even Googled it and just glanced at the success of PJs LOTR trilogy films but never the actual reason behind it. They never researched that they were actually buying the TV rights to what happens to be the 3rd most sold book in the entire planet translated into over 40 languages. With millions upon millions of fans worldwide of all the skin colors under the rainbow and those are the fans they ended up calling Yatzee white supremacists. They called Arabs, Japanese, Latinos, Blacks, Native Americans collectively for being Tolkien fans reecist bigots and in their unmitigated gall not understanding the huge fire ants nest they stepped on they made the Superfan videos to boot. That show is 7 months away and the rage and hate against it is of Biblical and apocalyptic proportions and rightly so.

A youtuber did some digging and discovered that this hack, promo bit was the exact same in every single country.. they literally directed their reactions and experience "watching" the trailer. 65% of this video was talking about how grateful they were for being invited to the event and how INCREDIBLE it was. 30% was "muh diversity and inclusion" and 5% was talking about actual LOTR. "I'm so excited to see younger, inexperienced Galadriel" she is THOUSANDS of years old at this point and you can tell they have no idea. "Why are we fighting? WHY were the rings even made?!" - LOTR SUPERFANS, everyone. This show is being astroturfed so goddamn hard it's almost sickening. This show cost a BILLION DOLLARS and is signed on for 5 seasons regardless of revenue or ratings. This show is already DOA - I cannot wait to watch it crash and burn and see the desperate cope from all the grifters. They picked the WRONG fanbase to screw with; these aren't Marvel fanboys - these people treat Tolkien's work like religious texts. They've ripped through franchise after franchise, eviscerating our modern mythologies and the stories we fell in love with; we lived and learned from.. Comic fans couldnt stop it; Star Wars fans couldnt stop it; but LOTR fans were as impenetrable as Helm's Deep. Hold strong, brothers and sisters - you're setting the example for the entire culture war. We may not be Tolkien experts - but we will ride to your aid when the beacons are lit.

People of African descent are around 12 percent of the population in the US and around 2 percent in the UK. People of European descent make up around 60 percent of the population in the US and 85 percent of the population in the UK. Keep this in mind when you routinely see them represented at twice or more their percentage of the population in media. They are intentionally under-representing the majority populations in these places. What they are doing isn’t accurate or even equal. They say they are being inclusive but they are disinterested in including people representative of the places they are marketing to. Remind them of the percentages.

Participants of the panel are really LOTR fans; of course no criticism of the trailer (since it is on the Amazon prime channel) but when prompted the question 'what about the elf, it spurred debate on the internet' the point was brief and not about diversity (word not mentioned once). The consensus was 'it is an artistic choice, if the character makes sense within the lore it is fine'. I am pointing this out since the US version has a clear agenda, while it does not seem so for the regional ones.

The thing about people who focus on "diversity" is that their view of what diversity should look like is incredibly unrealistic. For example.. if they lived in a country where 95% of the population is white with 5% as non-white, instead of being satisfied that a movie set, sports team, governments politicians etc. realistically represents the population racially these people will be unsatisfied because "diversity" in this day and age pretty much just mean LESS white people and at the very least have a 50%non-white and 50% white expectation.. generally these are the people who complain that "my kids should see people on the TV who look like them" totally ignoring the fact that the reason why one sees mostly white people on TV or in public is because OBVIOUSLY they live in a country where 95% of the country is white...If we're were to make the conscious decision to move to a country where I know that 99.5% of the population DOES NOT look like me and is ethnically homogenous then I'd be a fool to complain that people on TV or politicians or historical figures DO NOT look like me therefore it is do to racism. It doesn't matter what people do, when it comes to "diversity" NOTHING is ever good enough.

I mean, if there are entire subsets and groups of people who think every other property needs to be revived with a brand new woke cast, why cant they just make something similar? There's clearly a strong enough desire for movies with these specific groups of people in them, so why arent there enough people in their ranks to write a new story? Why cant people write original storylines that include woke groups of people and just let the old stuff that they dont respect fade into the annals of history? I would watch a high fantasy movie with an all ethnic/all LGBTQ cast. But does it need to be "Gimli, and Galadriel, but black"? or "Sauron, but in drag"? Is it impossible to create new characters and new storylines with new people in new movies? Make a giant Sauron-like character, stick whatever you want on it. Make Indian Elves, Make all the dwarves gay, like, no one is writing a rule book that says you or anyone cant make something original.
