DISCUSSION: Diversity Episode

I don’t think that’s weird. I prefer no Cc in general. However on my part that’s mostly out of laziness. Lol.

But I think all characters, especially the MAIN that we will be following needs a culture, you know? Kinda takes any opportunity for culture out of the story. I know where you are coming from. ^^

A few days ago, J. Miley posted an Instagram Template on her story about Episode Pet Peeves. (If you’re reading this, loved the template and the story in banner :rofl:) One of the pet peeves was No diversity and the other one was Misrepresentation of POC/LGBT/Mental Health. Some people who’s pet peeve was “No diversity” didn’t check/tick “Misrepresentation of POC/LGBT/Mental Health”.

Maybe call this a stretch, you are damn right. But if people care more about the story being diverse than misrepresentation of minorities, then we got a problem.

No representation hurts, but misrepresentation hurts more.

Who said Asian people aren’t?

Anyone who says it’s historically inaccurate to have black nobles doesn’t understand history… or hasn’t read any Shakespeare.

Is anyone familiar with Othello?

I’m pretty sure I got mixed up in the thread somewhere, but the girl I replied to said something about how someone’s experience was nothing compared to the experience of POC. She was replying (I think) to someone who has ridiculed for being partly white and partly Asian. (I think I definitely got myself mixed up. Sorry about this)

It seems like the post was removed that @EpisodeShadow was referring to. I believe it was a debate about whether or not under-representing different Caucasian haircolours was the same as lack of POC diversity or something like that. I can’t remember, but the person in question was arguing that POC représentation struggles are no different to Caucasian people’s struggles on the app.

In that case, I’ve majorly messed up. It’s just that I clicked to see what the girl was replying to and it jumped to that comment. With that context, it kind of looked like it could be the same conversation. Sorry about that!!

I noticed that too! It jumped to mine, but she was actually replying to the person who replied to me. Their post must have been removed

And now it’s jumping to a completely different place. That’s really bad! It makes it look like people are going against diversity when they’re not

Also, let me make this even clearer. The original beauty and the beast story was published in 1740… around the same time that Equiano was learning to read and befriending noblemen. And he was a former slave, not even a “moorish” noble.

@everyone I did delete my comment sorry for confusion. the comment wasn’t sort mine or anyone elses time

I just meant they aren’t like 40% of the population. There were sooo many of them, like Disney was more worried about equality than being historically accurate, lol.

HOWEVER, like I’d said before, it was a fantasy technically, so I won’t be too nitpicky about it. If it wasn’t a fantasy, though, I’d be a little more annoyed but would ultimately get over it. LOL

Shakespeare is one of my favorite storytellers. Macbeth is my absolute favorite <3 <3

You’re fine. Someone else typed it?

I know this post is weeks old and I’m really not trying to start beef, but reading your post about wanting feminism to die makes me sick.

She’s not saying she wants feminism to completely die. (Correct me if I’m wrong @NelidaU) Just saying that it isn’t needed anymore in America since people technically have equal rights. Feminism is still needed in third world countries that don’t have rights protecting woman and all that, but since America has that, feminism is not needed in America.
