I hear some youtubers say that the tide is turning and they cite things like the Chappelle special or the Gervais special. I can kind of see where they are coming from, but people still flock to see Marvel movies and Marvel along with other studios still can't shut up about representation.

I would have to see the following to believe a major tide is turning:

Black character in a movie where they don't need to discuss race Male character doesn't need to be surrounded by "much better" women Gay character has a devout Christian friend/relative who still loves and respects them despite their beliefs A book adaptation where the main character is white..... is actually white in the show/movie Period pieces actually look like the people from that period.
Any show/movie that addresses immigration doesn't make anyone who isn't for open borders an evil person.

Yes, I know that is unrealistic but seeing as how Wheel of Time was a book that had plenty of females and non-white characters once they leave their area and they still had to butcher the source material I have little hope and will continue with my rule of "be very wary of anything made after 2014".

What do y'all think? Is the tide actually turning and I'm just too cynical to see it?
