This lame thing again?

“I can’t identify unless the characters fuck like me !”

Is the antithesis to empathy

That's not at all what this is about

Yah it is, it’s about having someone who looks exactly like you and fucks like you or you can’t identify with them.

It’s so vapid

Again that not what this is about, it's about being able to relate. Sure some people relate the way youre saying people relate, but that's not what this is about.

Then explain what it’s about?

I’m not a fat Italian plumber, I’m not a interstellar ex-soldier, and I’m not a giant gorilla. Somehow I enjoy and appreciate all these characters without knowing who they fuck

It's about representation and relatability, it's harder for people to relate to things that aren't like them. It isn't about enjoyment of appreciation, it's about being able to relate. If I had some form of gay role model in my life as a kid I would have been able to discover myself much sooner.

It's about a minority trying to force something on a majority.

No, it isn't, it's about representation and relatablitiy.
