    Reply to this comment with your DEI horror stories. Other movie / TV examples, any industry or (most importantly), DEI you have personally witnessed. Thank you!
  • The real tragedy is all the creative talent out there being overlooked because they don't tick the right boxes.

    "The power of gay" "The power of representation" "The power of racism toward white people" -DEI in a nutshell
  • @hoeraufist
    "The most boring people i have met in my life only talked about themselves" applies to a lot of the adherants to DEI as well.
  • @owenchapman8320
    "I'm black and i'm GAY" is way funnier than it was ever meant to be.
  • @GIBBO4182
    When has diversity hiring gone RIGHT? As soon as you hire on anything but merit, the standard inevitably drops
  • @samm5111
    "2 Billion dollars given to people who think fires can burn in space..." Perfect summation.
  • @Niedfyr
    Nothing as relatable as millionairs talking about their struggles....stunning and brave.
  • @radumacsim3700
    Dude doesn't post in a while then comes with a 2 hour rant about DEI. This is a good day.
  • @cpdreyer
    Me: "Pretty bold of them to start the Golden Globes with Eldwid Marteph giving a Ted Talk." You: " This is actually supposed to be a stand up routine." Me: "Dear God..."

    "i only got the gig 10 days ago" i bet ricky gervais could've been asked to go up out of the audience on the night and he would've killed it
  • @John.Angell
    I drink a shot of whiskey every time Mr Reflection says, "Reflection of myself" and now I'm in late stage liver cirrhosis
  • Ricky Gervais already ruined any other golden globes host that could ever come after his hilarious performance
  • @Mcvthree3
    "Bilbo Cosby" made me HOWL!!!!!! It's even more epic than "Guess Who's Coming to Second Breakfast"
  • @Derikboy
    One note: they didn't just turn the damsel in distress into "girl boss don't need no man", but they went further and created the "MANsel in distress trope"
  • Whatever happened to “do not judge people based on the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character”?
  • @dococ3272
    They even race swapped Scooby, turning him from a Great Dane to a Pit bull.
  • @SammEater
    Blue Beetle also hiring a brazilian actress to try to appeal to fans of her (the few that are still left because no one really cares about her that much now) in Brazil was such an obvious marketing stunt that everyone skipped on the film. Lol
