[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female here I can’t speak to other things but I can definitely say my young son is not seeing boys on tv being role models. Everything is geared toward girls now. Characters being changed to female all the time. It’s ridiculous to swing so far to the other side so all I can show my son is old tv shows or movies with a boy lead. [/quote] Why cant you son look to female role models? Girls have had to look to male role models for years! My nephew an avid skier just wanted a famous woman skier because that is his role model! If you are showing him old stuff he will get thr ideas that only white men can do stuff and save the day. Your son wont break if he is shown women or POC as lead actors! I hate when someone says it had "swung too far the other way" where we were you when yhe great white male way was the only way?[/quote] There have been strong female role models in the media, it's just that the media does it horribly these days and shoves the diversity crap down your throat. They used to do it better back in the old days. Evvvvvvvvvvvveryone loves a strong female character like Ripley from Aliens, or a strong black character like Sidney Poitier. But these days, they do diversity for diversity's sake, and it is lame as hell. It is phony grandstanding to cater toward an agenda. Everyone can see through the flimsy efforts. [/quote] Agreed. It is forced and contrived. Every ad these days features a white man/black woman couple. This is a really tiny percentage of marriages IRL. A white/Asian couple would be more realistic. But, no, the media, government and corporate America seems to have this rabid compulsion to pander to black people this year and earn their SJW points. [/quote] Corporate America cares about the money. They always have. So when you see more diversity in advertising, it is recognizing the reality of who is spending money, period. That's why the cleaning product ads are STILL all directed at women. [/quote] No, they do a LOT to mold cultural change in the US. It is not all about the money, or you would not see corporations making really political statements that alienate half of the country. They have political goals. [/quote]
