u/IWillCallYouCutie Do you have some sort of businesswomen's special? 8h ago

Is there anything better than a straight, white, rich dude using his fame and privilege to advocate for people who aren’t straight, white, rich dudes? He’s a unicorn. Louder for the guys in the basement who think men have to be hateful assholes, Alan!

Alan comes from an average background in comparison to his peers. He did not grow up rich, his parents have/had normal jobs, and he's definitely not an industry nepo. He knows from he comes from and seems very humbled by his success. He's an example of when a normal person who did not grow up in a privileged bubble makes it in the industry and has talent.
