Also just spotted the crazy lady that couldn’t keep still in one of Ronnie’s matches last season. She appears to be wearing something large on her head.

Edit: A sunflower hat or something.

Is she the one that tried to pot the black at the end of one of his matches?

They should have minorities in new content, not transform old content.

But the truth is minorities are still far from being equally represented. For instance, homosexual people represent about 10% of the world's population, and it's far from being equally represented in TV shows, movies, etc. It needs more representation for sure.


Are you saying that 10% of characters in every tv show, film etc should be gay even if the story doesnt warrant it? Or 10% of actors? What if the % of actors who are gay is proportionally higher than the general population - should they then be over represented?

If there arent enough gay actors should straight actors then play the parts or are these parts reserved?

I think this is the basis of the original point. Why have a gay character just because they make up x% of the population even if the story line doesnt warrant it?

Which particular kinds of stories do you think ‘warrant’ a gay character? Which stories ‘warrant’ a straight character?

Depends on what story is being told.

You’ve already said that. I’ve asked which stories ‘warrant’ a gay character or ‘warrant’ a straight character.

No, it’s up to YOU. I’m asking YOUR opinion.

If you are writing a rom com, boy and girl fall in love type thing, probably warrants some straight characters.

I’m not sure that’s true. I would do a lot worse. Georgiou deserves more respect, he’s a ranking event winner after all.

I'm pretty sure Georgiou is a lot better than me.
