The other day I was watching Bowelstrek going over a shill media article attacking fans who didn't like the Dr. Who episode. The thing that really annoyed me was that the writer of the article actually said it was important for the show to represent trans/non-binary people because they never get to "see themselves" represented. Is this person insane? I thought the constant LGB pushing the last two decades was getting annoying but now we have to celebrate delusional people and the over-representation is beyond off the charts. I guess the writer of the article must live in a very left wing bubble.
I will never understand how if I were to tell someone that I'm a time traveler from 1000 years in the future I'll be sent to a mental hospital but seeing a penis between my legs and insisting I am a woman is something that will get me fawning adulation.
The idea of people needing to see themselves in fiction or identify with the race of fictional characters is infantile. This sort of narcissism is actually encouraged in the public schools. Kids are told they're being somehow disrespected, neglected, or insulted if every last character in every last bit of fiction does not map onto them somehow--It's true even with nonfiction and history as the black Isaac Newton demonstrates.
The evil concepts of "diversity" and "equity" drive this horseshit.
Exactly. And they get so upset if you tell them they aren’t real fans or that they should create their own stuff
