Hollywood is remaking classic films with all female and minority group promoting diversity and no white males as lead roles in the films. The great era of white male stars in lead roles will become a thing of the past as equality and diversity is forced by Hollywood.

I have a different take on this

You have a lot of very uncreative people currently in Hollywood, with no particularly good, original ideas for movies. So what do they do? Well they go into their old bag of established franchises that they know have made good money in the past, and think to themselves "hey, lets just do a new spin on this!" It just so happens that one very basic, easy thing to change is the gender or race of a character, and then they think that alone justifies the existence of a new movie.

So a lot of times, I honestly think it's less about them wanting to force diversity, as it is about their inherent laziness.

I loled at the black Achilles

Then I realized it's blatant racism towards greeks.

The issue I have with this is what proof is there that this is happening?  

I might decide with my own free will that my next game is going to have a female main character, because that is what I want to do.  And some will ridicule me for "forcing diversity".  


There is zero problem having a female lead, multiple games have done it and done well.

It's when you start noticing criticism about a game lacking it because it should have that the problem starts, people start to bug devs and label them and they start to affect the thinking about what should it (the dev) NEED to use for his next game to avoid that backslash.

When there is a though of need instead of want for what to create the dev lost his free will, and that's sad, really sad.

As if devs ever truly have free will. In fact, they are almost always beholden to the demands of their publisher.



Force equality and gender diversity through films and hopefully this flows onto all society. This is just another attempt by Hollywood to create a Communist society.



Around the Network

It's disgusting.

No matter where you look, almost everything is infested with multikulti now.

Drastic demographic change in society where native Europeans are soon in minority in their own countries, the increased violent crimes, the heavy financial burdens, the twisted morals of modern society where perversion is being praised and where criminals aren't punished. But this not enough for them.

On top of this deterioration of our societies, politicians, the public offices, academia and all the lying media have taken on as their mission to evangelize about the greatness of multiculture and force the population to not just accept but to embrace and praise the multicultural project. Dishonestly downplaying all the negative effects and shutting down and hunting every critic and dissident.

And even this is not enough. They won't even leave pop culture alone (although they're not leaving our cultural heritage and history alone either, just recently one publically funded Swedish scientist made the world news by claiming that Viking burial practice was influenced by islam so much that it became popular to weave Kufic patterns and islamic messages in cloth and to believe in muslim paradise, in the heartland of the Swedish vikings in Uppsala and Birka).

Wether it's remakes of old stories or new creations the pattern is the same no matter if it destroys the context. Multikulti is obligatory. Homogenous is forbidden even if it's historically accurate (see the controversy about BBC's black Achilles TV-sries, or the video game Kingdome Come lacking people of color in 15 century Bohemia as an example).

There just must be female soldiers or strong women doing any manly tasks, LGBT-people not just represented but remarkably visible, and obviously huge proportions of immigrants and people of color.

Modern culture and entertainment has become cynical, plastic, hollow and artificial. And extremely moralistic and preachy.

Strong women, LGBT-people, immigrants and people of color, the horror!!

So what is your hypothesis on the origins of viking burial garments that have "ali allah" writen in them?  You appear to present only an argument of incredulity (I find it hard to believe so it can't be true) but if that's your only reason to disagreeing with their interpretation of the evidence you should rethink your own biases.

But if there isn't a justifiable reason for either or, then why do women keep demanding strong female leads?

Well that's easy, because the majority of female characters are written simply to revolve around, and enrich the existence of male characters. Obviously there's exceptions, but more often than not that's the case. Their characters are often defined by little more than how they influence some guy, which is ultimately quite shallow. So why wouldn't women want more strong female leads, or just strong female characters in general?

Just because because there doesn't necessarily have to be a reason for why a character is written as/cast as male, female, black, white, etc.... doesn't mean there aren't valid reasons for people wanting to see more of certain representation, or even just better written, more nuanced versions for those they do get.

But you just said it doesn't matter. Are you saying it does, but only when it's women?

I'm okay with anything that comes from free will to create, anything that comes to push an agenda or because of fear/pressure... fuck it.

I doubt anyone ridiculed Uncharted LL or Horizon for having a female lead. You know why because both where great games. Same goes for the movie wonder woman. Nobody is claiming every female lead or LBQT inclusion is by definition forced diversity.

 

It gets more tricky when games especially try to involve themselves in politics and strive to be blatantly and very visibly to show look how PC we are. The best example remains fantastic four where they made a lead character black, while he was the brother of a white sister with the excuse that he was adopted. Forced diversity is usually just a filthy cash grab move that promotes poor writing, by including minorities so that they will consume that media.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
