fennectik: Getting political (political)

I'm all for diversity in shows and movies, but...

...not at the cost of other cultures and ethnicities. Makes me feel like you would change the race/ethnicity of a character in a reboot or movie adaptation of an established IP just to pander to something that isn't exactly a positive look into diversity itself, and more like gaining profits from the viewers who would buy into such pretentious actions.

To me, it makes every other reboot, remake, or adaptation seem less enjoyable and pretentious on itself, especially if said shows/movies are from old ones which I enjoyed prior.

And I'm not against diversity overall. I'm also part of a minority in the US, so of course I am very interested and invested into adding different people and nationalities into such things. But as stated, not when the reason behind it feels like petty pandering just to extract as much money as the entertainment industry wishes to collect, rather than taking steps into making their projects truly diverse.

My two cents.

Took the Helluvaboss character quiz

And I got Loona-

"Like Loona, you are independent, edgy, and fiercely protective of those you care about. You have a tough exterior, but beneath it lies a deeply loyal and caring heart. Your sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude help you navigate through challenges with confidence and resilience. While you may come across as aloof, your friends know they can always count on you for support and honesty. Embrace your inner Loona, and continue to balance your fierce independence with the deep connections you cherish."

I'm pleasantly amused.
