Utmost*, for the sake of accuracy.

Who?

Captain Cherry Picker of the HMS Selective Quote.

The article itself uses quantitative data extensively to establish its argument. I simply asked how representation compares with population demographics, which is a perfectly legitimate question. Suggesting that makes me comparable to executives rejecting trans stories as “too alienating” is a spectacular leap in logic by someone bathing in their unpleasant emotional state.

The post wasn’t about the quality of the representation?

Maybe you need to take your time reading before responding shittily? You’ll have much more fruitful conversations at the very least.

How else would you analyse it?

Looking into it and found a plausible reason we’d have different takes on it. Im british, the UK’s Creative Diversity Network has specific data on this. Transgender performers accounted for 1.3% of scripted TV contributions in 2019, falling to 0.8% in 2025, compared with a population benchmark of 0.5%. So at least here, representation does appear to be declining towards population proportionality, rather than falling below it.

Whereas in the US its at about one eighth of the relative population percentage, which is fairly mad.

If you compare it to their presence in the overall population, is their relative on screen presence dropping to meet it, or dropping below it?

Certainly, its a good thing to have an industry wide push to make those groups feel more accepted, but I also didnt expect it to last forever. I expect it will stabilise somewhere a bit lower than the last 10-15 years rather than trail away to nothingness. Unless we go full fascist, God forbid.

Legislating capitalism is like cupping your hands under a tap and hoping the sink below never gets wet.

Prediction:

Plaintiff - Submits AI fueled claim.
Judiciary - Uses AI to parse claim.

Outcome: more people attempt claims because previously they were incapable of a cohesive claim, but overall time dealing with individual claims goes down. Probably not in the short term though.

There is a valid argument that the EU is not a perfect system, particularly from a democratic standpoint.

But at this point its like saying the local supermarket is bad so I have chosen to go without food for two weeks. Its just not working out how you hoped.

You fully cant exist in modern society without ethical problems. You draw your own line.

If you’re not giving money, and you’re ensuring your plex-shared friends arent giving money, thats a valid enough degree of separation for many, potentially most.

Most important step is to decide exactly where you want to draw the line.

Tbf odds are usually in favour of playing it safe, big spiralling scandals are the edge cases.

It is better to stand something from a moral point of view though, for sure.

Corsodyl mouthwash, according to my dentist, is not supposed to be used every day because it can permanently alter your sense of taste. Corsodyl specifically.

Thats only 1 dentist though you’d have to ask the other 9 to know for sure.

Unlikely, most gamers are kids, most kids are totally agnostic to anything beyond the consumption of games.

I mean people play what they enjoy and not everybody cares about chasing frames.

Denuvo making games run worse is fucking garbage, but two things can be true at once.

Dark web, you’ll figure it out.

Surprisingly good but obviously very silly.
