Having a diverse cast and talking about things that used to be taboo is not being preachy.

Call it what you will but doing the above for reasons of “representation” or “education” rather than entertainment is simply not a fun experience for anyone, even the self-righteous people making those films.

A business needs a laser focus on how it adds value to its customers or it’ll die.

    That's basically never the case. People assume it is because they don't like seeing a diverse cast and come up with that excuse.

    • You may very well think that and keep going to the movies, but a large segment of the population sees this as explicit and implicit criticism of aspects that are integral to themselves (white skin, a Y chromosome, conservative beliefs) and won't watch anymore.
