oh its all about the money, inclusion is good for business. marketing a product to all races and genders is a simple and smart thing to do. this is why the couples in every ad are interracial.

really don't understand why this is a new thing, black people were buying pepsi and diapers 40 years ago.

Should have made the ranger Blackagorn be fat too. Not very body positive

I’m trademarking “Blackagorn” now btw, you can’t use it

I feel like they haven't been inclusive enough.

Shouldn't they have a character in a wheelchair or retcon some Marxism/defund the city guards into the text? Arwen could at least have dyed her hair omg [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

TIL there's a cancelled episode of Community. I came to it late, only watched through it this past year through Hulu and thought it was usually pretty funny. Now I'm gonna find it.

You really should, it's a great episode. I think maybe one of the streaming services (Prime?) might have kept the episode, but I don't remember for sure.

This wasn't about Republicans or Democrats (or books) ... this was soulless corporations opting to avoid controversy in a mindless way.

Again, there were no groups (left or right-wing) protesting the episode and saying it should be removed, and there certainly weren't any laws passed (like, you know, the ones passed by Republicans in Florida). This was just some corporate hack saying "we we're worried about the financial risk to our brand, so we're making a bad decision to censor".
