But there are plenty of women who get passed over despite being just as good as their male counterpart. 2. This point doesn't really make any sense. Why is being a woman being done for inclusion, while being a man isn't? If the gender doesnt matter, why does it matter if the main characters are female? Even including stuff like homosexuality. What does it matter? It's a characteristization, in which case it doesn't matter. Or it's part of the story, in which case that's their right to change their story however they see fit. 3. Yep. Everyone is in favor of that. At the end of the day, movies, games, etc are made by companies that want to maximize how much they are making. If that means that if enough people want to see a change over not seeing that change, they are going to make that change (or not) to make their bottom line better. |
People are going to be picked up if they have the skills, that's how the free market works. Also you don't have activists or groups of people calling for men to be more represented in entertainment.
Its fairly obvious that a large amount of the recent change is based on identity politics and is not driven by profits. Just look at how Star Wars is doing at the box office.
