And i can't be the only one who thinks 99% of the representation we get is entirely soulless btw. I can't speak on POC since i'm white, but every time someone tells me "watch this, it has gay people" it's like. Okay. So did they add the gay people because it's marketable now? Did they give the gay people a personality beyond the yass queen stereotype that is suddenly seen as not offensive? Do they have a personality? A character? Or are they just the "gay people" meant to be used as a marketing slogan, a line meant to hook and draw people to stream and give their money to it?

#and it's always like. representation that's safe you know?#like in disney movies. representation that you can reasonably cut out and nothing would change #idk i don't like it. i always ask ''does it have good slavic representation?'' tho bc the answer is always no and it gives me an excuse to #go ''oh well sorry i only watch shows with good slavic characters''#bc none have them !!! slavic rep is not a marketable line !!!! bc slavs either don't care for western media #or they're not a big enough part of western society that media would deem us profitable! do you understand?#media doesn't CARE to represent you! it's deemed your identity PROFITABLE
