Everytime I see people get upset about any form of media, especially indie/youtube stuff because the creators werent "inclusive" enough or "did it wrong" I just remember my irl friend, a cishet white guy who is fully an ally and friends with many poc, queer, and trans people telling me how he ran a dnd campaign with a group of characters that were each a color, and how his players were disappointed cause he made the only female one pink and the only non binary one the robot, and how the two of us had a good laugh about it.
Like give these people a break sometimes, we are all human, and especially if you aren't a part of a minority, sometimes you just want to tell a story and aren't thinking of how many brownie points you can slip in. Also, we are all dumbasses! Irl we let the people in our life be stupid sometimes, lets extend the same kindness online please.
Yes, inclusivity is great and we should be asking larger companies to tell more stories with different perspectives, but also lets not harass people and indie storytellers for these same things please? We are all stupid humans and a lot of people don't have the big eye of the internet to give them the "correct" beliefs.

Not really tho#more like#online politics#lol#twitter#tik tok#tumblr#Genuinely as a college student you meet so many people with different perspectives#And like 90% of these people ARENT chronically online and dont know every little thing#And thats okay! As long as they listen to you and treat you with respect!#Like i have friends who are IDIOTS when it comes to things that are considered “common knowledge” on tumblr#And they are great people! And open to learn more and treat all the people different than them with kindness!#Its such a massive weight off your back to spend time with people like that after going online for most of your teen years#Not to mention plenty of people i know who have “correct” opinions according to online communities commit plenty of harm anyways#I had a former roommate who nearly got me arrested on false charges that he overdramatized using online/therapy speak#Hell ive been LITERALLY MANIPULATED by someone who had the fully “correct opinions” on minorities and politics#In fact it was because of his chronically online opinions that he thought it was okay to manipulate. Because he was “in the right” for it
