    If these people have a great idea, it should be brought to light on its own merits like all other ideas.

    We don’t live in a world where you become a successful film maker purely based on merit though

        Target it how? Tell people in the industry to please be nice to people they don’t like based on how they present?

        Humans have biases, those small groups will inherently be the subject of bias. This is the most effective way to counter those biases, especially because having those people’s voices heard will help combat those biases.

        The thing I hear the most from people who used to be transphobic, homophobic, etc. is that they got over it when they were exposed to a person of that identity. This would make that more of a possibility

        opens the divide between different parts of society

        If you or others feel “divided” because of this that’s your problem. Normal people who have empathy see this and feel happy for the marginalized groups it will benefit.

        I fully agree, so why don’t we target that.

        How about you, James Woods, Kevin Sorbo, and Jim Caviezel get started on that and Cate Blanchett will go do her thing helping women, trans & nonbinary people.
