I absolutely love this video! You explained why diversity is important so well - I've been looking around for a good video about this topic for a project. This one is perfect!

Only thing I’m worried about is if I make, say, a black character, who actually had a personality other than the typical stereotype of a black person then people would say I’m ignoring black culture or that I’m trying too hard to be diverse and inclusive. Idk

"There's a lot of ways to be human." 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Very well done!

This was really interesting thank you. I like how Lost used a variety of people and changed the cliché 'hero' roles and mixed up expectations. The 'hot chick' (I shudder writing that) was a convict the hero a control freak, the bad guy an abused child. All perfectly explained with Hurley's comment of 'never saw that one coming' when Rose (black) missing ng husband turned out to be SPOILER the bumbling white professor.

This is a great video and explains why diversity is so important in a really accessible way without being a rant or angry in any way. I will say though that, while I agree that diversity is something that needs to exist in media, I also hate it when films/shows only include diverse characters for the sake of ticking those boxes. (The example I know most about is LGBT characters so that’s the example I’m going to use). Often, you’ll find stereotypical gay characters in popular shows and the only character arc they get is ‘secretly hates self for being gay, learns to accept self, everyone ‘comes out’ as something in the end’ because it’s not good representation. Instead of saying ‘include diversity’, I think it’s better to say ‘include representation’ because that means you have portrayals of people as people, not just because it ticks a box.

I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on your work, and I've gotta say, it's really good! This video especially does a great job explaining some things that I've been trying to find words for for a long time. Looking forward to seeing more!

What's the background music? Also, what about the freedom of the creator? Sure representation is important, but if we have to check boxes just so one certain group wouldn't feel bad, what happened to our freedom? And what about actual preferential differences between men and women? Boys and girls preferring different toys. There are also female engineers, couldn't those women that didn't choose to be engineers just have different preferences?

thank you for creating this video, I use it when teaching my students about the importance of representation in media.

I originally thought this was just gonna be a generic "there's too many white males and you should feel bad" buzzfeed like video. While there was a point or two I disagree with you have still made several valid arguments. Great video mate you earnt a sub

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen describes this perfectly. SENSATE. It was on Netflix but I don’t know if it’s available any where else. I would love to know what you think of it and if you haven’t seen it you really should, The few people I know (I’m mostly bed bound) agree with me, they too have never seen anything quite like it before, it is diverse in so many ways.

Great video! Thanks for the information.

THANK YOU.

Hollywood needs you.

Shared and liked. Awesome video, hope to see more in the near future :)

This is awesome man! The quality is soooooo good!

So cool :D

this is really interesting and hits a lot of points that i think are important for most people to know. i know that representation has helped me personally a lot over the years - as a gay woman i tend to cling to any fictional lesbians i can get my hands on, lol. great video, i'll be watching your content in the future!!!

Steven Universe is one of my favorite shows ever!

This video is awesome. So glad I found this.
