This is why you see the appropriation of culture rather than the inclusion of marginalized people, especially PoC and especially WoC. You can skim the foam off the top without having to engage with the drink. Black brilliance without Black politics, for example.

White people dont actually want D&I because it'll fuck up their money. The more diverse, the more their mostly white fanbase now has to engage with the internal prejudices that they watch entertainment to ignore.

yes, it can be annoying to learn a new term for how people want to be addressed

it can be uncomfortable to have your values challenged!

but if the end result is people can exist easier (no I'm not talking about Nazis) then it's worth it

This is based on an excellent talk by @dirtbagboyfren, @SmokedTopaz and @frani_e at @GDoCExpo. If you can, go back and watch the original talk, much wisdom was shared, including great considerations around salary, and I’ll never be able to make it justice:

This is a question that everyone has to answer for themselves. Talking about it as one answer is not reasonable. This is a huge country with wildly different socio-economic factors in different places. We have to stop pretending we're all having the same conversation.

@danpalmer ("Dan Palmer") replied to a tweet by @polotek:

@polotek Is that $100k a year realistic? Big assumptions, but, 1/3rd of income on housing and 1/3rd on savings is somewhat typical. By retirement you hopefully own your house and don’t need to save or make pension contributions as you’re not earning. Also hopefully no child expenses.
