The reason why people are so quick to jump to that conclusion is because of the times we've had to go through. You didn't see much of this before the woke era. As for your assertion that they artificially shoe-in someone based on their identity... that's exactly the problem. Because you can't choose someone based on their sexual orientation, color of skin or political background without simultaneously rejecting someone else because of the same thing. It's inherently impossible. The only fair way way out of this mess has always been to ensure all people have the same legal rights, and to give the best, most deserving person the position, regardless of their racial or sexual identity. In other words, merit-only. |
Is anyone being hurted because Sucker Punch want to attract more women with a female MC? |
I'm in no way making the claim that the actress being used isn't deserving. She very well may be. Only Suck Punch knows that. But if she isn't, if there were better candidates out there, and Sucker Punch intentionally did not interview them, or give them a chance because they were straight women... then yes, those people are being hurt tremendously. And that's, again, the principle problem with casting in the above way. It's inherently exclusionary, flawed and wrong. If what people want is a world where equality is a real thing, then we can't exclude people because of who they sleep with.
