Having a diverse cast and talking about things that used to be taboo is not being preachy.

Having a diverse cast and talking about things that used to be taboo is not being preachy.
- FredPret 2y agoCall it what you will but doing the above for reasons of “representation” or “education” rather than entertainment is simply not a fun experience for anyone, even the self-righteous people making those films. A business needs a laser focus on how it adds value to its customers or it’ll die.
- kennysoona 2y ago> doing the above for reasons of “representation” or “education” rather than entertainment That's basically never the case. People assume it is because they don't like seeing a diverse cast and come up with that excuse.
- FredPret 2y agoYou may very well think that and keep going to the movies, but a large segment of the population sees this as explicit and implicit criticism of aspects that are integral to themselves (white skin, a Y chromosome, conservative beliefs) and won't watch anymore.
- kennysoona 2y agoThose people are part of the problem and best left behind IMO.
- FredPret 2y agoLearn nothing and you'll keep losing. You'll never leave 40-60% of the population "behind" (who are you to define "the problem"? What's next, "the solution"? Chilling and revealing language) and it's outrageous this notion ever occurred to you in the first place.
- kennysoona 2y agoThere was only progress. The only people who were losing were lowkey bigots in denial who can't handle change. Bigots might be in charge for the next 4 years, but the pendulum will swing much more forcefully in the opposite direction as a result for the subsequent 8 years. The march of progress is inevitable. I won't be engaging with you again after this due to your views.

- kennysoona 2y agoNah. Keep being bigoted and you'll be left behind.
