    Yeah because everyone in media needs to be straight, white, and Christian. 🙄

    Representation matters.

    • Sure, but I get what they mean. Sometimes you have a minority character that doesn’t very much seem to interact with the plot, nor has many discernable personality trait beyond being part of a minority.

      Representation matters, but it should be done in a way that makes the characters actual people, not just a tick in a checkbox.

        And there is definitely a tokenism issue in Hollywood. There’s a reason why the “gay best friend” is a Hollywood stereotype.
