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.
