The only SJW agenda going on is that companies realized cisgender straight white men are a "small segment of the population", and started including themes and characters relevant to other experiences. Eh, that's debatable. Cishet white men and women are still the majority, so if there's any one demographic worth catering to, it's generally going to be them. The difference isn't that they've become a minority, or even that other demographics have grown enough to be a significant commercial force, it's that cishet white people are now sufficiently accepting of those other demographics and therefore it won't cost companies their business to include them. From a corporate standpoint, it is still just the same, cynical look at the bottom line, not any sort of new awareness of untapped demographics or a moral commitment to inclusion. Kegran posted... Societal pressure also makes up a chunk of our actions. A trend is societal pressure. When it comes to actually dating someone, social pressure really only ever discourages that, rather than encouraging it. People frequently choose not to date somebody because of social pressure against it (see: every closeted gay person that doesn't homosexually date), but the only times you'll really see people choose to date just because of social pressure in favour of it are closeted gay people in straight relationships (which is exactly the opposite of your concern), and instances where a friend has set them up with somebody and they stick it out to be polite (in which case, those relationships generally don't last all that long). Quite simply, you don't get people getting into gay relationships because it's cool. Trends and social pressure promoting homosexuality are not a concern at all. Kegran posted... However, you'd be more accepted if you were normal, meaning closer to the mean average personality. So change what "normal" means so people aren't ostracized for their sexual orientation. Which, conveniently, sounds like a fantastic definition for that whole "normalize homosexuality" phrase that's been floating around. Wow! --- This is my signature.
