Please for the love of god, please I am begging each and every one of you, STOP bringing 2019 woke victim culture and politics into dragon ball! It’s a damn anime and manga. Let people enjoy it for what it is and stop ruining it!
Must be nice to be a cishet white male who doesn't have to be afraid of being murdered by a stranger after living on the streets for a week after your conservative family kicked you out on the street. Must be nice to not get called 'little bitch' by your dad who thinks that you are a 'man acting like a woman' rather than a woman weeping in frustration over being treated poorly for simply being one's self.

That's a priori logic.
Hollywood is overwhelmingly to the left, but I would be willing to bet those in charge are mostly straight white men. Not only that, but for decades the biggest audience was young straight white males. Hollywood was laser focused on them because they brought in a shit ton of money. This issue has nothing to do with political affiliation.
I truly believe mass audiences are open to inclusivity and better representation of minorities. The creators and money men are likely open as well, but don't know how to write it because it's not their experience. Being blind to other peoples' experiences and perspectives isn't limited to any particular political party.
I don't see Hollywood coming out and constantly broadcasting how they're in favor of higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations, to install a living wage, college for all, Medicare for All, three months paid vacation for all, paid childcare for all, Social Security for All, ending the wars, a Green New Deal and a comprehensive infrastructure deal that completely rebuilds the nation as well as poor neighborhoods. I don't see Hollywood collectively coming out on TV non-stop or incorporating a message into their projects of how 50% of US workers earn $30,000 a year or less, 80% of Americans want to raise the minimum wage, 76% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, that global warming is real and the US is actively not trying to stop it because our politicians' corporate donors literally pay them not to.
Learn to see the forest from the trees. "Oh, it's hip now to give The Gays roles in TV and film? Cool, whatever, we can make money off that now." Meanwhile, not a single goddamn one of
the six corporations that own all of our media in the United States are out there trying to tell the American people "Hey, you need to un-apologetically demand every single elected official move way to the left!" every single second of the day. Fuckin' hell, god knows conservatives are out there every single day selling their arguments to the American people.
If you aren't arguing policy you're a full-of-shit corportist centrist. What's a centrist in country run by nearly nothing but conservatives for the past forty years? A conservative.
I say this all the time and I'll say it once again for everyone listening: everyone called Woman's Suffrage, the New Deal, Social Security, the Interstate, NASA, the Great Society and the Civil Right's Act impossible. "Impossible! Wait your day! It's too soon! God, you're just going to set you people back by being so demanding!" The same motherfucking country that fought and defeated the British and freed the slaves can accomplish anything. It's up to the people who will fight for similarly left-wing positions to demand that those things happen.
