Representation Is Important, But It Is Not A Substitute For Empathy | WHAT IF I TOLD YOU; THAT WHILE REPRESENTATION IN FILM AND TELEVISION
IS IMPORTANT, IT DOESN'T DO ANYONE ANY GOOD
IF YOU THE VIEWER AREN'T ACTIVELY EMPATHIZING WITH
EVERY CHARACTER YOU SEE ON SCREEN, WHETHER OR NOT
THEY LOOK LIKE YOU, THINK LIKE YOU, TALK LIKE YOU, LOVE LIKE YOU,
OR ACT LIKE YOU THINK PEOPLE OUGHT TO ACT?
AND THAT IT'S BECAUSE EVERYONE - EVEN REAL PEOPLE YOU DON'T LIKE -
EXPERIENCES THE SAME BASIC HUMAN EMOTIONS YOU DO? | image tagged in what if i told you,diversity,empathy,movies,television,stories | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
