Everyone deserves to grow up seeing their identity authentically represented in film and media.
No they fucking don't...
No, you're wrong on this one. As an elite Special Forces operator who regularly guns down terrorists, as well as saving the entire world every couple years, I demand my representation.
I'm of course kidding. "Representation" is so fucking stupid, and is the last thing fiction should be aiming for. The average person is a fatass loser who leads a quite uninteresting life. I don't care what race they are, or which of the 1,793 genders they are, they don't "deserve" representation.
Fiction in general is written about (fictional) exceptional people.
This whole representation argument really breaks down when you scrutinize it just a little
