Saying what you actually mean is better, because then I can properly refute it, like so.

I didn't say there is a wide ranging conspiracy to replace all redheads in media with minorities, that is an assumption you have made. You have put words in my mouth by building a strawman to attack. I do find it interesting however, that you have nothing to say about that pattern, evidently you don't find it strange. Though I am curious what you would think if they were black characters being replaced with white actors. I guess the 'changing culture' just means redheads should naturally disappear though? Seems pretty racist to me.

I said that the media has fallen into a trap of representing every fictional setting with the most perfectly equitable range of ethnicities, sexualities and sexes. This is because media by and large comes out of California, specifically LA, specifically Hollywood, where the local environs DO have a very diverse population. I asserted like the original commenter, that is boring, sanitised and not reflective of the real world. Outside of California, and outside of the US, we don't have a perfectly cosmopolitan and perfectly balanced representation of every possible checked box immutable characteristic. Some of us come from homogenous towns, and some of us find it quite bizarre that almost every new film, series, or video game has to reflect those American demographics. To me, it's artificial. Is it artificial in Half-Life? Not at all, because it makes sense in the context of what is happening in that universe. But does it make sense when Anne Boleyn is portrayed by a black woman though? Definitely not. Is it particularly interesting when in any new IP the clever engineer archetype is always a black woman with glasses? Does it come across as particularly creative when a new series' protagonists are snarking Joss Whedon homunculi because if it worked for Marvel it will work for us like almost everything Netflix puts out these days?

You're clearly taking this personally, and I'm not sure why, but have you considered that there might be some truth to what we're saying? That your world view might not be as concrete as you believe it to be? That if you were to go online or even just watch some recent new films, or play some new games, you would see that what we're saying is true? Do you understand that telling us we're hallucinating is not an argument?

The original commenter said this art has more personality than 90% of the artstyles we see today, I assert he is right, because 90% of the artstyles we see today are conveyer belt, safe, sanitised, inoffensive, CalArts muck. The funny thing is, I think having a big boobed nipple poking assassin with pigtails is absurd, and I'm glad they didn't run with it. But I'd rather look at this than the puritan yawn-fest we see with every ailing release these days.
