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.

    the quantity here presented as an indicator. so people can have a number to talk about because the actual thing 'kinds of stories in the zeitgeist' is really fucking hard to quantify and get scary about even when a scary thing us happening, which it is.

    Experts warn this only makes it harder to combat dehumanizing myths.

    ...

    Streamers and big networks are caving to the cultural creep of conservatism, Rose said, and "consider trans stories, trans actors and trans characters to be too specific, potentially too alienating, as opposed to just part of human experience."

    Hmmm who does this sound like?

    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.
