yeah i have no idea why they didnt invite her. like i havent seen the revenant yet, so idk how big of a role she actually has, but even if she didnt have a huge role, they should still have invited her. i just dont get it.

yeah okay thats what i was trying to say but i somehow got off topic and lost and confused. indie films are nice, but no one knows about them and the actors arent as popular and such and everything like that. and oh yeah hollywood is defs doing better with diversity then say like idk 10-15 yrs ago

yeah i dont like elle fanning either which is why i was like "some random blonde teen" bc idc.

its really dumb too. hollywood thinks certain films will do bad so they just dont try to do anything with them ever again whICH IS LAME

also more about diversity. like diversity is great and stuff, but just throwing in random poc and lgbta+ chars does not always mean diversity. i'm gonna use the example of the tv show the 100 bc i used to love the show but now im like meh its okay i guess eh. anyway, they have a very diverse cast with poc chars, but most of the time those characters are side chars and add very little to the plot. they tend to go through very bad things and are never happy or able to rlly be themselves. idk if that makes sense so far, but basically theyre just there for well nothing tbh. the show would still basically be the same with or without them. they also have tons of women in very leadership roles and doing rly badass things, but still somehow they arent viewed as all that importante. they are often oversexualized and viewed very very differently from the male chars. also they do have some nonhet chars, but they never discuss their sexuality. for example, theres this one char clarke who is most likely bisexual, but the show never addresses it. she's been with guys and women, so viewers just have to guess. they also have a lesbian char and a gay char. that sounds awesome and all, but they treat it all so differently. like they always make the f/f relationships super sexual and lots of tension and kissing and blah blah. however, in like the last episode, theres this gay couple that just appeared finally on the show (it was canon the one side char was gay and had a bf, but u never see the bf) and this guy's bf was gonna go away and most likely die, so they decided to just give a quick hug instead of something a bit more emotional. idk if that makes sense. its just that the writers like to make the females very sexual and shirtless and making out, but the guys can just like not do that. the guys dont gotta do that shit

so yes diversity is amazing and awesome, but mostly if its done in the right way. you shouldnt have to make the white chars super holy and wonderful and the poc as evil and always in pain and hurting. and also just bc you make gay chars doesnt mean you need to only show them as sexual. theres very rarely emotions between them other than just LETS BANG BABE. meanwhile the hetero relationships get lots of feels and emotions and idk if any of this rant is making sense but the 100 is really pissing me off with their portrayal of everything except the white male chars.
