Great idea, man. This is awesome! This is exactly what people should be doing--using tech to make the world better. Hope you can look back 10 years from now and think so many interesting black stories might not have got told except for BlackOak! I definitely think segmenting away from the dominant studio model is the only way to break the crazily unrepresentative nature of most of the (still admittedly great) stories in the popular culture. Hopefully looking back your move will be obviously a good idea, but one maybe no one was brave enough to do it before you came along. Wishing you the best of success to do this mission! :)
- gunshai 5y agoI am generally curious, when does under represented move to represented or appropriately represented?
- prawn 5y agoMaybe when someone and their customers don't feel drawn to create and consume something like this?
- gunshai 5y agoWell that remains to be seen, and best of luck to them.
- graderjs 5y agoIt should be obvious but when the representation in media reflects the representation in society so your population demographics are reflected in the media, not the audience demographics reflected in the media. Then you have a mass media that accurately reflects the demographics of your society. I really hope you are genuinely curious cuz whenever someone starts the thing with "to be honest but" or "honest question" or "I'm genuinely curious" I often feel kind of scared that they're just trying to troll and trap you in their own belief system where they've already decided the. As in like if someone really has a genuine question they shouldn't have to say they do to prove that it should be obvious when they say it kind of seems like compensating for some sort of deception. Not saying you're doing that just saying that's how I feel when I see that kind of stuff sometimes.
