Now I pretty much watch the SYFY channel for Futurama reruns or the New Year Twilight Zone marathon (although I’m sure they will deem that problematic soon). I used to love that channel but now they have given in to the usual diversity/sjw nonsense. I stopped looking at their website when the review of Brightburn was a rant against white males and Wheel of Time was sexist because multiple women were in love with the protagonist.
I saw a show being advertised about Leia and the summary mentioned women and “non-binary” fans of Star Wars discussing representation. I honestly think that if everything you watch has to represent you then you have deeper issues. I’m a black guy who will be 40 soon and When I was younger I read lots of golden age sci fi and loved it for the stories. I cared more about entertainment/good stories. A simple reading of history will show you that men and women of all races are capable of greatness so I don’t need to see a black person being a scientist to know that I can be one or attempt to be one.
I love Superman and Spider-Man because they are awesome. Loved John Stewart green lantern because I am a huge green lantern fan.
Why do the usual suspects get so angry when you question if they are really a fan. Like in gaming I’d ask these women who constantly whine why not make a game they like or find one they relate to instead of ruining games for devoted fans. Not just women. Plenty of men in the industries that seem to get hired for diversity points and not talent.
I’ll never understand this. It still cracks me up when I hear the term gatekeeping thrown around. Sounds logical to me that someone who hates the material and wants to change it shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near it.
Oh. You're one of those (people who liked New Jedi Order).
