why is it always media that tries to be open and inclusive like steven universe, overwatch, dream daddy, that have the worst fanbases that run around telling eachother to kill themselves over inaccurate fanart and headcanon disputes

Because they try to be progressive and sadly the majority (or at least a very very loud minority) of the “progressive” people are the most toxic and “hungry” people out there.

It’s impossible to satisfy them, nothing is “progressive” enough.

You give them an inch and they’ll rip your arm off and take a mile.

This is partly why most artists, producers, directors, etc, are so reluctant to make more progressive content. No matter what they do, they’ll receive colossal backlash, so they just stick to what they know, the safe route.

Ironic really, that those that demand progressiveness are inadvertently stunting it.

Hey if this post offends you you’re probably part of the problem

¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

DIVERSE MEDIA IS HELD TO RIDICULOUSLY HIGHER STANDARDS BECAUSE THE CREATORS ACTUALLY PUT FORTH EFFORT AND THEREFORE ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE PERFECT KNOWLEDGE AND FOLLOW-THROUGH ON THE CATERING OF EXPECTATIONS TOWARDS CERTAIN GROUPS BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT DIVERSITY = ENTITLEMENT TO CONTENT TO THEIR EXACT SPECIFICATIONS OR ELSE ITS GARBAGE WHICH 100% STUNTS GROWTH BECAUSE ANY PERCEPTION OF LASHBACK FROM THE TARGET AUDIENCE WILL BE READ AS A PREMATURE FAILURE AND WASTED INVESTMENT BY A SOCIETY THAT CAPITALIZES ON MEDIA.

ITS ALSO PERFORMATIVE IN THAT PEOPLE THINK ITS EASIER TO CRITICIZE THE SPARSE DIVERSE MEDIA WE HAVE FOR NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH THAN IT IS TO DEAL WITH THE UNENDING SWATHES OF PROBLEMATIC, UN-DIVERSE MEDIAS WE HAVE OUT THERE, SO THAT’S WHERE THEY GO FOR THEIR “GOOD ACTIVIST” POINTS.
