[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree, OP. DEI gets tiresome when it is blatantly shoved down your throat.

Movies pander to DEI way too much these days. It is so inauthentic and like consuming a cheap McDonald's hamburger of diversity.

Look at movies that do it right - Aliens with Sigourney Weaver as a strong female lead, Fast and Furious with the most diverse cast for the last 20+ years, Rocky with plenty of black and white characters since 80, Predator with a very diverse macho cast......

None of those movies had to force the DEI crap down your throat and they are some of the most memorable films ever made. Modern and culture think they invented diversity and were the first to ever think about it, which is a joke. They did it wayyyyy better in the 70s-90s when they simply had the characters exist as people in the plot without the need to hammer constantly on their identities.  These days diversity is so plastic, fake, and contrived.

And yes op, film studios are pretty much forced into having diversity in the set of films, at least of they want to be nominated for an academy award. [/quote]

How limited must your friend circle be that having more than one or two “diverse” experiences is unusually many?  I have fat friends, queer friends, immigrant friends, friends of many races, friends of many genders, friends of many religions, etc.  Seeing a film with characters showing the diversity of human experience seems normal.  Single token diversity characters seem more weird to me tbh.[/quote]

Ok, good for you. Do you think you deserve a cookie or something? [/quote]

Nope, I just think OP should stop talking about how a perfectly normal collection of people is "forced" when it actually accurately mirrors a lot of people's lived experiences.  OP has the entire Marvel Universe of superhero movies mostly about straight white men; why is it such a burden to have a few movies about other people sometimes?[/quote]
