Could it be said that this is a pattern or that someone who comes to this conclusion is exaggerating?

For example, in many animes the characters are Asian and right-wingers don’t seem to mind. Maybe because most of the characters appear to be white, or because many Japanese animes have an actual cast of white characters. They don’t seem to mind if in a fictional world all the characters are white or Asian, but on the other hand they would mind if in the fictional world all the characters were black or had dark skin. Is this really a fact or an exaggeration?

    And constantly forcing a particular set of values/viewpoints down everyone’s throats is exactly how we ended up in the situation we are in now. Promoting equity and inclusion is great and the right direction for society, but forcing people (especially conservatives) to turn on a dime is going to yield resistance, and taking it over the top is how people like Trump get elected. That is the culture war aspect even moderates don’t care for, the constant drum banging. If we keep the ante up for slow and consistent change, we’d be much further ahead than via social force. You catch more bees with honey, and it would take generations to effectively breed the excess amount of hate out of American society.

      I’m sorry I’ve been dragging them into the theater and making them play games they don’t want to play, it’s my fault
