At the very least the only one receiving any attention.

I know I'm all over this discussion, but I feel like the final takeaway is it's a little backwards to talk about increasing diversity in a not-diverse genre with just the current front-runners, who already aren't diverse people. Any discussion of quality this and innovative that can't JUST be the people up for awards,…

You can't talk about it in a room full of other white men and nobody else as a decisive 'panel' on the subject, especially when there's no other alternatives. Like I'm not sure why that's hard to get.

I mean, sure, we can deliberately misrepresent the issue here and then pat ourselves on the back. We can do that. I wouldn't give us an award or anything, but probably we'll make some misanthropic friends.

I mean, the movies are great and more diverse than a lot of other offerings have been. (Except for Sausage Party, which was aggressively average when it wasn't being obnoxious.) This is a case of misleading headlines tbh. Inviting a bunch of white dudes to a discussion about diversity in animation is different than…

The beauty is, they have a single line at the end lampshading outdated offensive stereotyping so it can be both things! It's the perfect crime!

"Why is this suddenly important to people?", otherwise known as "I totally wasn't paying attention before."

I'm assuming he was asked to be part of an animation roundtable (after making one whole animated film I guess), didn't ask who else was on it, then when sitting there wondered why no one had done better somehow.

I mean, not really? 'Sacred' isn't the same thing as 'magic', and even if it were, here's how this works:
