    I get annoyed by people complaining that the goal of a movie studio is to make money. Yes. That’s their job. They have employees to pay, it would be irresponsible not to try and make money. The goal of the company may be to make profit but the individuals working on films may still have a goal to make good art while they’re at it. Companies may be incorporating more diversity because they see it as a way to make money, but the individuals they hire to make it happen may be people getting a chance to tell the stories they want to tell. And if the goal of the company is to make art that appeals to as many people as possible, isn’t that also good for the audience?
