I don't give a shit about it. My favourite show is about a Time travelling alien with two hearts. Does he have to represent me? It'd be a fucked up world if he did.
Tell good stories first and foremost and fuck your quotas and check boxes.
Do you wish there were a character who can perfectly represent you? No, having 'a character who can perfectly represent me' would make life boring, and there could never be a character who could perfectly represent me without excluding others.
I don't want (or need) to be ''represented'' I am ''I'' - like it, or not :) (that's 'diverse' enough to me)

Honestly I think it has become another source to disguise modern day racism and sexisim.
I have no problem with having people who don't look like me in leading roles in film, business and government. But if the quality isn't the primary concern, no amount of windo dressing form of representation or diversity point seeking matters. And when someone makes that their stated purpose they risk hurting the people they claim to be helping.
What you are talking about, diversity in the sense of "multiculturalism" isn't inherently a good or bad thing, neither is wanting to be around people with the same traits as your own.
It would be entertaining, but it will never happen. 157 IQ and a bit dark and twisted so it's nearly impossible to replicate in mass media as characters there are too tropey
You ever see one of those blown out of proportion dudes in a fighting game that towers over everyone? They got me covered, so that's good enough for me.
I see. Well, obviously groups that have been marginalized throughout history should receive more represenation. It's already happening, but very slowly.

No I want to be unique. This fad that everything and everyone needs to be represented is annoying. What ever happened to everyone being unique?

Yep…it does.
Why is representation even important? Can people not empathize or look up to characters of other races or genders? Pretty messed up if you can't.
No I really don't care ^^
I don't need others to represent me.
I am who I am.
I don't care.
You think BLM for those founder who are sitting on the millions? lol NO!
Not very important. It’s the story of the character that counts, not his/her race. Still, I would write it on my POV
I only see us as Humans
Doesn't matter to me.
I support it.
Which sort of representation do you wish we had?
Who is "we"?
When I said we I really meant us and everyone else you know the general population of the world.
I see. Well, obviously groups that have been marginalized throughout history should receive more represenation. It's already happening, but very slowly.
Cool
Also I wonder if everyone really get represented I wonder which group would be left that hasn't been represented yet
Isn't what you just said a contradiction?
Is it huh I didn't thought of that but yes thinking hard about it that would eventually contradict itself
Not really that important
I stopped at "I be noticing."
