TL;DW YouTuber YoungRippa59 discusses GLAAD’s research on LGBT characters and how “underrepresented groups” are actually OVER-represented in modern media

Hasn’t the same been shown to be the case in every “minority” group in western media (at least in the UK and US, and probably Canada too)?

I’ve just seen an advert for a new BBC cop show set in Northern Ireland (the only routinely armed non-specialised police force in the UK) and the lead characters are two tiny women and a single soy-faced man, despite the actual PSNI being 62:38 M:F and probably the toughest British policing job what with cops being targeted for assassination and all. I was actually shocked to see that all three leads were white in the whitest part of the UK….but I’m willing to bet the male is some flavour of LGBT.
