Rep­re­sen­ta­tion mat­ters. We know just a small per­cent­age of the pop­u­la­tion is rep­re­sent­ed (and glo­ri­fied) in media — that is — cis, het­eropa­tri­ar­chal able-bod­ied mid­dle-class monog­a­mous white men. We’ve heard every iter­a­tion of every per­son­al­i­ty and cir­cum­stance they can face. Hol­ly­wood writ­ers express con­cern that every­thing has been done, but that’s prob­a­bly because they have been and con­tin­ue to be extreme­ly unwill­ing to have main char­ac­ters with com­plex sto­ry arcs that are any­thing oth­er than their beloved stereo­typ­i­cal man. What might it look like if we actu­al­ly begin to diver­si­fy our media?
