GreenKnight127 posted... So what do you think?
When you play a new video game....is the ethnic diversity of the team important to you? Would you be bothered if you found out the game was made by all white people?
Even if it was a great game, would something rub you the wrong way knowing it was made by a team of all whites? Would you assume the company has racist hiring practices? Would you feel compelled to do something about it?
When you watch a new movie...does the gender/ethnicity/sexual orientation of the writer, director, producer, etc.....play a factor in how much you enjoy that movie?
Do you get upset when there are too many straight/gay characters in a show?
Do you get upset when there aren't enough handicapped people represented? Trans people? Muslim? Etc?
Now, I already know some of you might try to say, "Well, it depends on what it is!"
"If it's a movie about the black experience...I would obviously not be able to take it as seriously if I found out the writer was some privileged white dude."
But even so. Does that mean privileged white people are 100% incapable of writing an engaging and relevant story about the struggles of blacks? What if you later found out that that "privileged white dude" who wrote the story, grew up with a black family in a black community and experienced/witnessed extremely brutal racism firsthand? Would that change anything?
How important is this stuff to you?
So, how much time did you spend coming up with and typing out this bait?
