Isn't there too many LGBT in modern media? It's nice how we live in a tolerant world and lg seem like cool people, but it feels like they are sometimes replacing straight couples in media, just cause propoganda of how that's normal. Am I overthinking it? PS: Jill is cool, not so sure bout Tracer though. PPS: Doing the thread more out of desire to have more meaningful discussions in /u/, than any sort of gay grudge.

In modern media there are not too many lgbt characters but there are too many lgbt characters which are just there to be lgbt. Most video games do this very poorly; VA-11 Hall A is one of the only ones that does it well. When it feels like they are 'replacing straight couples' it's mostly because the lgbt couples are poorly written and stand out. The netflix show bojack horseman has multiple examples of how lgbt characters can be included without detracting (it's also a good show).

>>581183 Very good explaination. I feel the similiar way.
I suspect that the commercialization of diversity doesn't work well because commercialization is a natural enemy to diversity. The consumer masses need a confirmation that their way of life is the good, the normal one. Things that differ from it always will be portrayed as exotic exception from the norm through side characters. Like attractions in a zoo that people can admire from a safe distance.

>>581181 lgbt fags are ruining everything. They are just a small minority but because the media is with them their voices amplifies. And they are ruing everything. Movies, tv shows, games and in the near future they are gonna ruin anime.
I don't care if you're a fag, straight, trans, normal, man, woman. Just don't ruin everything with your agenda.
You want fag characters? Make new ones. But we can't do anything. They'll stop making shit shows when they'll start losing money.

y'all complain about the increased diversity of the types of people you now see in media, but how is it actually bad?
the population of the world isn't just cishet white men, it's more than just that. and the increased diversity shows the world for what it truly is, a world of many different types of people and cultures.
diversity is a good thing, and i think you're wrong if you think otherwise.

>>581475 how exactly is diversity good? how exactly is having less in common with your peers supposed to be a positive thing for society? why is a group better the less cohesive and understanding towards its members it is?
diversity is bad because it divides. the end.
there is no reason today to have a "diversity message" in a land like Europe where the population is WHITE and NOT DIVERSE. this is a fabrication of the USA.
Post number #581488, ID: c4b2aa

>>581485 you have more in common than you think, you're just choosing not to see that.
the only thing causing less cohesiveness and understanding is your attitude to those who appear different.
and diversity only divides because you're afraid to accept that not everyone is an exact clone of you.
and there is a reason to have a "diversity message" in europe, because it's actually a very diverse place, you only wish to think that it isn't.

Africa for africans, Asia for asians, America for americans. it's just a matter of logic that each race has their own land that they love and want to evolve in, where they're represented and live among their own. thus Europe is the land of Europeans - a white land - and there's no valid argument against that

Ok gurls I'll just give my opinion and leave because both sides of this discussion are kinda dumb.
Diversity just for the sake pf diversity is dangerous and damaging, especially to the people you think you're helping by pushing diversity, they get associated with shitty badly planned products and people start to think these people who are now included.
BUUUUUUUT being against any and all diversity is just skipping steps and jumping to the consequence of forced diversity.

if you can't find a way to move them without forcing the countries you're sending them to accept them.

putting all of them in one big camp of concentrated people...

I think people often conflate 2 different things without differentiating what the actual problem is. Anyone (gay, straight, whatever esle) that goes around talking about their sex life in explicit terms in public is just creepy. Just like how it's completely normal to occasionally want to punch someone you don't like, but if all you talk about is hitting people and how you want to see more violence in media people just aren't gonna want to be around you.

In other words, you shouldn't conflate all lgbt with the few crazy people the media put in the limelight. Most lgbt know that being gay is just part of who they are, just like a straight person, there's nothing to be prideful of or uppity about. A few stupid people who don't understand being sexual in any way in public makes people uncomfortable get constantly featured by mainstream media and give people the wrong idea about how normal lgbt people act.

Don't get the wrong idea about the whole of a group just because a vocal handful decide they want to be ridiculous, or decide they want to be the universal thought police and scream about how triggering things are. In the same way that you wouldn't want someone thinking that all conservatives are racist just because the small group of alt right gets all the media attention. Basically the media needs to be disregarded entirely in deciding how you feel about a group.

A bunch of people getting mad over socially unacceptable content and trying (or not) to not have socially unacceptable opinions about it.
Just don't be rude. If you don't like sex n shit, just say so. If it's specifically gays, it's because the taboo on their behaviour makes it impossible not to stand out in some circumstances, so they try to stand out or don't at all, polarizing your interactions. If you want to be mad, be mad at your poor excuses for social regulatory systems.

I have an other explanation why so many LGBT representatives are present in media, than the usual anti- liberal/jewish/socialist conspiracy theories from conservatives and whacky fascists. It's due to city escapism, which occurs because people on the countryside and the working class still are good targets for homo- and transphobe propaganda in order of a "divide and conquer" strategy by the rich.

>>581869 you really blame everything on the rich, don't you?
Post number #581871, ID: 1623dd
|
>>581869 It's all because lots of people still have to work in the countryside and in factories and could become a threat to the rich if they would organize themselves. Giving them enemy images such as LGBT people or foreigners makes it easier to prevent this kind of organization. Meanwhile the cities, which are the center of culture and media, have become islands of diversity, multiculturalism, tolerance etc. It's not really a conspiracy, but rather a logical development.

>>581870 Of course I do. If the rich defend their privileges they often argue with the hard work they do and the huge amount of responsibility they have.

>>581870 Also don't forget that diversity and individualism is a natural enemy to making profit. At some point people need to be standardized, homogenized for the sake of economical efficiency. Even if the propaganda tells a different story, thinking about it logically increasing profit (economical/technological efficiency) contradicts peoples individual needs. Theoretically there is a state and laws that treat people equally. In practice they have no power on their own.

>>581903 no no no no.... >I am shallow and dumb Currently probably yes. But it's not like it has to be this way forever. >you are smart and deep Well, in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is the king. >we must kill all rich people to save the world Who said that? Why is killing people the only solution you see to problems? >Happy now? Yes, but not because of you or this discussion.

Separating LGBT rights from solving social-economical core issues equals giving up those rights on the long term. This is what currently happens in many countries all over the world: The liberal society was too tight connected to liberal economy. And now as liberal economy is increasingly going into crisis mode (due to globalization, technological development and unsolved/untouched class contradictions) it pulls the liberal society right into the abyss.

>>581807 logical discourse has a profound impact on the implementation of future government structures and policies, such as the impact of Greek and enlightenment thought on the philosophy of US forefathers. aside from that, why would I want to change the world if it's just gonna get toasted along with the rest of us eventually.

>>581930 Russians, the illuminati and the lizard people are no relevant or even completely made up categories. Other than the rich. The rich exist and have their own interests. It's no conspiracy theory, it's reality. Economical classes are real. Conflicts between them are real. Interest conflicts between nations, and other conspiracy theories are just distractions from reality to keep the status quo.

>>581960 >logical discourse has a profound impact on the implementation of future government structures and policies, such as the impact of Greek and enlightenment thought on the philosophy of US forefathers. Historical materialism says something different. Logical discourse is the result of technological/economical development and not the other way around. It's not philosophy and thoughts that changed society but economical reality.

But don't gamble with other peoples lives. I want a different world, because I give a damn about your prophecies that are at most self fulfilling crap than an unavoidable destiny. I believe a different, better world is possible. At least this is the most satisfying motivation I have to live on.

>>1623dd Money is meant to be an abstraction to simplify quantifying value among trades and services.
Equal redistribution of it defeats its purpose, the value becomes purely artificial instead of based on demand and amount.
This idea of redistribution will make money a nonsense, why not ditch it altogether if your ideal world will make it pointless anyway.

>>581974 >Equal redistribution And for the 1.000.000.000th time: It's not about EQUAL redistribution but about FAIR and REASONABLE redistribution. In the current system we have obviously a situation where this is NOT possible - in the opposite: The redistribution is getting worse with every second that passes. Being against increasing inequality is not equal to being against inequality per se. Is that so hard to understand?

>>581977 ok then let's start with the beginning. who gets to decide what's a fair distribution?
Post number #581980, ID: 77df1a

Because even though equal distribution is stupid, it's doable.
But fair distribution is a matter of point of view and I don't see any objective way of determining what is fair and what is not.

>>581973 I'm not gambling with lives. There's a 100% chance that everyone dies in the end. Not to mention "better" is subjective. Why should I waste my time cowtailing to someone else's view of a better world when I can strive for my own?

>>581979 I would say this should be decided democratically based on a permanent public, transparent and pursuable discourse. The current situation is reasoned with an obscure ideology about an untouchable "free market" which is all about an almighty invisible hand spawning from the egoistic choices of competing individuals. This idea has been disproved as well empirically in reality but also logically in theory, multiple times.

Discourse is how you potentially convince others that your view of a better world is the correct one and that it's worth working for.its also how you get people to decide on how to achieve said better world. It's absolutely required unless you're already with the majority (which you arent considering the majority is capitalist)

>>581983 and how is this any different from the "invisible hand"? People will vote for what they want and balance will be broken again before long

>>581980 >But fair distribution is a matter of point of view and I don't see any objective way of determining what is fair and what is not. Oh no, I won't fell for this relativism trap. Just because something can't be decided objectively, it doesn't mean people still decide it in the end. The rich decide that things are they good as they are. But why should their point of view be more objective than mine, huh?

>>581985 This invisible hand is supposed to spawn out of individual egoistic decisions. Concepts like "public welfare" or "solidarity" aren't welcome here. It's entirely based on a wrong social darwinist idea of a supposed human nature, which was disproved many times in practice by social and psychological experiments and also theoretically for example in gambling theory. It was shown that collaboration is necessary to reach higher goals and solve complex problems.

>>581985 >People will vote for what they want and balance will be broken again before long How does it come that people are allowed to vote for anything but disowning the rich? Historically it was even more likely that people were allowed to vote for nationalist, racist and fascist regimes than for socialist ones. If they did, they were fought and bombed away which turned their choice either into a paranoid dictatorship or replaced it by one they did not choose at all.

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves." Henry Kissinger on the democratical election of the socialist Allende. This attitude was somehow missing when germans voted for hitler back then. Strange huh?

Look, how the pro-capitalist blockheads keep silent as soon their unloved nazi dogs attack their communist challenger. Typical capitalists: You always need others to do the dirty jobs for you.

| Isn't there too many LGBT in modern media? It's nice how we live in a tolerant world and lg seem like cool people, but it feels like they are sometimes replacing straight couples in media, just cause propoganda of how that's normal. Am I overthinking it?
PS: Jill is cool, not so sure bout Tracer though.
PPS: Doing the thread more out of desire to have more meaningful discussions in /u/, than any sort of gay grudge.
