Of course, and I can’t say I ever noticed the race or gender of characters until recently. If movies/TV were was always just equally non-accurate then it would be fine, but that’s not how entertainment works. A man can be replaced by a woman or a transgender, a white character can be replaced by a non-white actor, and anybody can be made gay/bi/++. But the reverse is never allowed. It’s not some insane conspiracy theory either, these are basically the new rules of film making.

For people that are aligned with this political agenda, I’m sure it’s good for them. But I’m personally just not interested, and I think there’s quite a few people out there with the same views as me on this.
