Trust me, the day you start fitting into one of the check-boxes, you'll understand how important visibility is. Everyone in this thread is throwing about jokes about trans and disabled superheros because they find the idea ridiculous, like being disabled is some sort of exaggerated status and like no disabled person is ever going to read this thread and go 'actually, I could relate to a disabled superhero. I'm pleased someone thought to include us in something rather than treating us as a stereotype.'
Yes, racism will just disappear if we keep only putting white people in media! Increasing visibility of POC is clearly an insidious liberal plot to reinstate slavery!
