Note: Saying things like “Not everything has to be about race or gender!!! I’m so tired of it! Just look at the message/story and don’t pay attention to representation (or lack thereof)! I see everyone as exactly the same, why can’t you??!!”
is code for: “Your desire to be represented and respected in media and the world at large is annoying and/or boring to me because I personally don’t understand or care about this problem; I don’t want to have to think about those things, or have to think critically about anything, or learn to find a way to enjoy something while still also being able to recognize that others might have a problem with one aspect of it. But I still feel the need to butt in to your conversation to scold you for daring to mention that there might be a problem.”
