If it is nothing more than trying to cater to the idiots who think that if you do not include such a character, then that is another story. Judging how oversensitive people are and how they want nothing more to shove their views down our throats these days regardless of the group, I am betting on the later. So sick of this nonsense...the only reason such a question was asked was to stir the pot in some way. Nothing against JJ, but the interviewer in this case is a joke. |
Yes, but the question is, how can you determine whether the incusion of any kind minority in a movie is the result of catering to a certain group of people? There are all sorts of straight chracters and I never hear anyone complain about them. Sometimes their love story is important, others it's a simple "she's hot" comment. Why does a writer have to justify using a group from a minority every time?
It's like: female protagonist? Pfft, it's all because of them feminists
Gay character? pfft. Pushing the gay agenda.
Black character? pfft. Token character and how dare they kill him? (ignoring that there are tons of white characters who also get killed early on in the move or have a tiny roll).
