#media misrepresentation

[ksandraal]

one the reasons why gen z like the redemption arc is closely tied to the way media represents their villains mainly through discriminated minorities, making gen z wish for the villain to end up not being a villain

“It’s just a movie!” What’s the big deal about media misrepresentation? These real-life examples of the impact show how dangerous stereotypes really are.

The OP fandom and Viola

I’m honestly so freaking tired of seeing dark-skinned Violas everywhere on this goddamned site.

I know you’re all trying to do something good but just for your information, by doing this, you’re not helping One Piece be more diverse; all you’re doing is demonstrating your lack of knowledge about Spain and its inhabitants and perpetuating a stereotype that weighs heavily upon many people in said country.

It’s already bad enough that Oda stereotyped Spain and for just one freaking thing he didn’t include about that wretched cliché, the fandom goes and finishes misrepresenting us under the excuse of being “more ethnically diverse”. Are there dark-skinned people in Spain? Of course there are, but they’re not the only “Spanish” people in existence, you know?

Do you even know just how many times I got told “You don’t look Spanish”, “You can’t be Spanish, you’re not dark-skinned” or asked whether I danced goddamn flamenco right off the bat while I was working abroad? The answer is so many times it got incredibly infuriating to the point of being offensive.

So, please, just freaking stop.

Why is it so difficult to simply report the truth? Who is controlling the bias and why isn't it being publicly and vociferous challenged?

You know what i’m tired of? 

The only instruments that are represented in media are piano, guitar, violin, saxophone and occasionally drums.

i’m sick of it.

What about the other instruments? Tuba. Bassoon. Clarinet. Oboe. Trombone. French Horn?

We need to strive for instrumental equality

'Journalism': CNN Mocks Trump 'Bracing For Beef-Free Menu' While In India

‘Journalism’: CNN Mocks Trump ‘Bracing For Beef-Free Menu’ While In India

By Kristine Marsh ~

If there was just one article that encapsulated how CNN’s obsession with attacking President Trump borders on parody, this might be it. The news network was mocked on Twitter over this hard-hitting article bashing Trump… for eating cheeseburgers. The Pulitzer Prize-worthy headline read, ‘I have never seen him eat a vegetable:’ Trump braces for a beef-free menu in India.”It…

Types of demons in mexia

Ok rant time: I always find it funny how demons are represented in the media, not necessarily that they're wrong, but when it comes to so many other species, there are wide ranges of their species but not to much diversity in demon species. Yes there are some variants, but typically all revolve the same tropes. I have faced so many more different demons, like swamp demons, plant demons, flower demons, tree demons (surprisingly those last three are different), rock demons, elemental demons, the list goes on. While the powers, strengths, and abilities usually vary, their egos typically are seen as all the same: self centered, power hungry bad guys. I'll speak more on this in a future post, but I just wanted to rant about how demons typically don't have a lot of diversity in their media representation.
