      It’s weird how certain fictional, fantastical universes (e.g. Star Wars, Marvel) have been elevated into this propaganda pantheon where it is now assumed that they are somehow normatively required to be microcosms of (someone’s notion of) our society.

      ‘Who will break the barrier of being the first [subgroup] character in a Star Wars movie?’ What? Why would there necessarily be one, ever? These aren’t even earth-humans. Why would ‘representation’ even be a thing.

      Ditto for Marvel, which I’m pretty sure gets diversity-points for having actresses like Zoe Saldana (who plays a green alien) and the one who plays Mantis.

      Why do either of these silly, fantastical universes that are rooted in comic book/pulp material for children have to carry this weird propaganda load of ‘representing’ all demographics and tallying the breaking of various ‘barriers’? Why can’t they be left alone?

      It’s just interesting that once a certain type of fiction reaches a certain level, politicized types seem to *instinctively* move on it, to colonize it for this shallow propaganda purpose. They can’t resist any property of a certain size.

      I guess it goes to show that if you want your favorite pop culture thing to maintain some semblance of its original vision, and to resemble art, you shouldn’t want it ever getting that popular. Otherwise, it *will* be colonized.

      It’d be interesting, if only as a troll, to see the reaction to a SF story that is explicit that *all* the characters are ‘white’. (Humanoids that evolved on a planet with a climate etc. giving them European-like features.) Would this be ‘problematic’? Could it ever be filmed?

      Netflix has browned up the casting for their series based on the Witcher - a book series set in fictionalized Eastern Europe so the simple answer is "they'll just ignore it and cast various blacks out of spite".

      Likely. So, it would be amusing to write the story such that all the characters’ skin pigmentation being a certain frequency was explicitly stated, and integral to the plot. Take the trolling as far as possible.

      In early season GoT people would complain that they cut this or that element that was integral to the later plot - boy the writers must have had something really clever in mind to solve that. Turns out, nope, they didn't and you can still make episodes that make no logical sense

      The cameras still work, the actors still read lines, etc.
