Manage episode 435151193 series 3565321
This week, we dig into LGBTQ+ representation in media from the Gen Z perspective. I'm joined by guest Ariana "Ari" Mrdjenovich as we explore progress, challenges, and the future of inclusive storytelling. Ari, a 25-year-old Gen Z member, shares personal experiences and perspectives on the importance of diverse characters and relationships in TV, movies, and media.
The conversation includes various examples, such as shows like Pose, Sense8, Schitt's Creek, and Bridgerton. It discusses the impact of positive and problematic tropes, highlighting the necessity for authentic LGBTQ+ characters that go beyond stereotypes. The discussion also addresses the pushback against increased representation and the significance of media reflecting the diversity within the LGBTQ+ community.
Throughout the episode, insightful commentary is provided on the influence of representation in shaping societal attitudes and increasing visibility for marginalized groups.
