The problem is the motivation behind these changes. They're done with an explicit purpose empowering these groups, while at the same time any attempt to empower males, whites or straights (or god forbid a 3 for 1 cis white male combo) is shot down as being sexist, homophobic and racist. There's an unequal agenda here that is empowering minorities at the expense of other groups. We now have two classes of citizens with different social rights - minorities and cis white males (or any combo thereof). The former can practice and push an open agenda of self empowerment, the latter cannot. |
Why would a group that's in power already need further empowerment? Look at most of the big movies of this year venom, mission impossible, Deadpool, infinity war, Jurassic world, Incredibles 2. Now look at the big games, red dead, Spiderman, god of war what further empowerment do you need? There's a push to have more minority groups in media because there was a lack of previously and thats become even more noticeable as the population as a whole becomes more diverse. There's no such thing as straight pride because there was never a time where being straight was look down upon or underrepresented. You arguing that no one is trying to empower straight white men is like arguing that wanting more RPGs or platformers is anti open world or fps. People are simply asking for more of what we have little of not trying to completely get rid of what we already have.
