Skittles in any media tended to ruin it by demanding the media be made about being a skittle. Straight media included straight people doing things at times that are technically straight, like relationships between men and women and having kids, but it was not typically about being straight. It was about values, themes, historical settings, examining ideas, excellence, stylized action, comedy. Worthwhile, interesting things. Skittle media is about being a skittle and how everything that is not skittle is bad. Even skittles don’t really care to experience that because they’re not supporting the skittle movies and games, either.
A good piece of media with a skittle in it would typically be one that’s not at all about them skittling in which you probably wouldn’t even know they were skittle, which (((people))) don’t seem to want to allow.
Sorta like how a woman doesn’t qualify as representation unless she’s explicitly an insufferable feminist girl boss. And blacks don’t count as representation unless they are explicitly ghetto.
Exactly. That’s why you don’t see people talking about how James Earle Jones voiced Darth Vader or Carl Weathers was good representation in Predator or most of his films or Linda Hamilton in the Terminator series. Linda Hamilton is probably the best example because she actively represents motherhood because her entire character revolves around protecting and raising her kid. Nobody cares about them, only when they try to do She Hulk.
Well said
