This is gonna be SO controversial, but I honestly don’t think that everyone needs to be represented in EVERY film ever made, there are SO many different types of films with different stories to tell across ALL genres of film. Most writers don’t write from a place of “Ok I need to put someone from THIS group, THIS group, and THIS group, etc. or else everyone will be offended!” I just feel like it would be so disingenuous for a writer to put someone of whatever identity in a film just because they feel like they “need to” in order to appease everyone, which NO ONE can do.

I actually agree with this! Writers shouldn’t be adding characters that solely check off representation boxes. Good storytelling comes from authenticity, not obligation, of course.

At the same time, I think it’s important to recognize that Hollywood has historically treated white narratives as the default. The problem isn’t that every story needs every identity represented; it’s that when one perspective dominates an industry for decades, story telling becomes limited and repetitive.

Audiences often respond to stories that feel authentic and reflective of the world around them. That’s one reason why filmmakers like Jordan Peele has been so successful. His films aren’t trying to represent everyone—they tell specific stories rooted in particular experiences! But those perspectives have historically been underrepresented, which is part of what makes the work feel so fresh and original. There was a round table talk on YouTube that only had one black writer and the rest was all white, needless to say he was giving everyone heat about how much diversity was in their room. It’s a very interesting discussion but it goes to show that Hollywood still holds yt voices as their primary.

So, I don’t think the goal should be forced representation. The goal should be making space for a wider range of voices and stories and those aren’t the same things🙂‍↕️

An sometimes I think some of the blame does have to do with casting in a way. But I know casting is given very specific context to look for and that’s another discussion.

Love seeing women with bare faces, short fingernails, practical shoes, comfortable clothing, a full plate, a toothy grin, a relaxed posture. Love love love seeing women comfortable and happy and unselfconscious.
