    That’s a stupid take tbh. Nobody is against those things. What people have a problem with is the side effects. Very obvious to see in the entertainment sector where entire historic events and facts are ignored for the sake of DEI. Saw that with the cleopatra movie and is currently a big problem with assassins creed shadows which is literally insulting large parts of japanese culture just so they can put their western morals into it.

      That’s a stupid take tbh. The entertainment sector has whitewashed and sugar-coated history so badly people believe that’s what actually happened. The truth of long historic events would never be accurately portrayed as it would contain almost exclusively rape and slave exploitation. The entertainment industry already portrays history as complete fiction so why not make it entertaining to more than just the groups who caused the rapes and exploitations.

        I know that american history isn’t that long so there’s a lot of that in it, but I can assure you that there are a lot of historic events in the history of other countries that are more than that.

        already portrays history as complete fiction so why not make it entertaining to more

        That’s not what happens - games and movies are claiming to be “as historically accurate as possible” just to have blatant mistakes all over it for the sake of diversity.

      That’s not DEI as far as I understand it though. DEI would be hiring people of different abilities and backgrounds in the other parts of film making such as costume, music etc. The Cleopatra mockumentary was a piece of propaganda trash based on fan fiction.
