>>It's all about that inclusion.

No its all about money,
They know having this will trigger some people and discuss it, hopefully with some news stories = free publicity.

Mate hollywood like any big industry only cares about cash.
Do you really think the market for gay guys is larger than a traditional family?
Maybe some indie films want to push an agenda, but hollywood films, yeah nah not at all, its a business, first and foremost. They realize by triggering people they get free publicity.

You will notice a lot of films have started including more asian characters in them, why?
Cause the overseas asian market has become big, In fact now I think its a bigger box office than domestic in the US

Mate why do you think they're trying to be inclusive?
The data does not back this up.
Esp when you think as well of what stories ppl want to see, its usually about different or exciting things. Noone wants to see a film about a family of 2.4 kids working 40 hours a week bagging groceries, i.e. people don't want to watch mr/mrs average.

no idea what you are on about man, esp = especially (though now I think of it esp = espanya, spain) WFT is ESG? never heard of it (and Im learned, is it (from google) Environmental, social, and corporate governance)

My point is what box is talking about is just complete bollux
This idea what hollywood is full of liberals that are poisoning the minds, preaching an agenda.
The numbers don't back up that assertion.

the reality is ~2/3 of speaking parts in hollywood films are men. Not bad when they make up ~49.48% of the population in the US


<2% of roles are gay characters when in fact they are between 5-10% of the population

ditto any other non white race

This BS that hollywood is anti white men is just that, complete BS, If anything its pro white men
The only thing thats changed is back in the good old days it was 90% of the roles were male roles.
If you long for the good ol' days then theres still placs where you can watch this media representation, saudi arabia, afganistan under the teleban, or italian/turkish TV

Hollywood is about money, always has been and still is today

white males in the USA are not happy cause life aint as easy/good as it was back in after the war years


The decline in US living standards can directly be traced back to reagan, which basically were all about transferring money from the middle class to the top richest people.
Theres 3 big reasons that the reagan adminitsration brought around this change


1. they changed the rules with news reporting (in the old days, news had to have a basis in truth and show both sides of a story)
2. busted unions, see reagan getting tough on the flight controllers, I think that was the flash point

3. business friendly laws at the expense of workers, if he didnt do that shit the average worker in the US would be on $102,000 now instead all this cash went into the shareholders, you would think this would piss people off but because of #1 they get told nah, greed is good, its good to have the CEO earn 500 times your salary becuase to think otherwise is anti american

The funny thing is all this MAGA stuff is often the supporters hold Reagan up as a brilliant president yet he was the chief reason why they are not living their 'house in the suburbs on a single salary' lifestyle

Im bollux! Well back at you with love mate. So there.
Im an expert in american history cause Im an american kiwi
but you can get these stats online, which one do you disagree with?
Maybe ones off by a fraction, but whats not off is, being a white straight male is an advantage to getting work in hollywood (speaking as a white straight 'american' male)

What woke movement?

top 10 box office last year, Now excluding the cartoons,

all apart from black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Water Gate Bridge are predominately white males as stars. And water gate bridge aint even a hollywood film

1 Avatar: The Way of Water CARTOON

2 Top Gun: Maverick WHITE MALE

3 Jurassic World: Dominion this one is a toss up

4 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness WHITE MALE
5 Minions: The Rise of Gru CARTOON
6 Black Panther: Wakanda Forever BLACK

7 The Batman WHITE MALE
8 Thor: Love and Thunder WHITE MALE
9 Water Gate Bridge CHINESE

10 Puss in Boots: The Last Wish CARTOON

wokeness is not a thing,
Unless its meant to mean, waking up after the brainwashing of just hearing the standard white male perspective always.
FWIW white males are 31% of the american population, so why is hollywood showing films usually from a while male perspective?
Now if you think OK this is just 2022, but Im sure if you go 2012 or 2002 or 1942 its pretty much the same.

Mate Box I love you to bits, like tommix or vince et al I'll take a bullet for ye, but come on get real

The marvel films were blanket banned due to other reasons, chiefly due to the tensions between china-us over the last few years. You must remember the trade war stuff and the whole wuhan flu etc, even today theres still more tension between the countries than a decade ago.

What China does if theres a gay scene or what not in a film, is they will typically cut the scene, they don't ban the whole film.
Bohemian Rhapsody was shown in cinema's there and if you've seen the film, you know half of that film is freddy mincing around

I take it you're not advocating for the US to have similar measures as the chinese communist party and dictate what studios can show in their films
