If it doesn't have one of each minority, then it's racist.
If it DOES have one of each minority then they're just tokens and it's racist.
If it doesn't have women, then it's sexist.
If it DOES then they're either acting too much like men, too much like female stereotypes, they don't have enough screen time, they have character flaws or their gender is brought up somewhere along the way. And apparently that's sexist too.
If it doesn't have a Gender fluid otherkin in a wheel chair then it's transphobic, singlist and ableist.
Apparently, the simple lack of a representation of any type of race, gender, political alignment, degree of impairment or category of being makes you immediately a hateful bigot.
Have you guys ever heard of the satanic panic? It was when a relatively widespread and accepted doctrine (Christianity) was, for a time, at least in the media, dominated by a frenzy of outspoken advocates from the lunatic fringe who made outrageous claims about a grand conspiracy of satanic worship and child sacrifice. They found evidence of this conspiracy everywhere the looked and their claims grew more and more grandiose until the entire thing collapsed under the weight of it's own delusions as ordinary people began to realize that their supposed nemesis existed only in their heads.
Now, have you guys ever heard of the Patriarchy panic? It was when a relatively wide spread and accepted doctrine (the ideal that women and indeed anyone of any race, gender or affiliation should be treated equally) was, for a time, at least in the media, dominated by a frenzy of outspoken advocates from the lunatic fringe who made up outrageous claims about a grand conspiracy of controlled, planned, systematic sexism being perpetrated by anyone and everyone who clashed with their personal (and often internally contradictory) idea of what an "Equal" society should be. They found evidence of this conspiracy everywhere they looked (Such as the above) and their claims grew more and more grandiose until the entire thing collapsed under the weight of its own delusions as ordinary people began to realize that their supposed nemesis existed only in their heads.
Which isn't to say that things are perfect and equal now; but we really need to stop this bizarre, kneejerk, reactionary sort of thing that screams "MISOGYNY!" at anything that doesn't have a woman (or the "right" kind of woman) in it. Because it's not helping the cause, it's just lowering the level of the dialog and in fact harming the chances of seeing more female and other less represented groups in media because of the sheer level of anger that any tiny misstep or perceived misstep can cause.
