50:49Now PlayingFor a while now, we've seen concepts like diversity, representation, inclusion, etc given as universal positives that not only make something worthy of praise, but, more troubling, above the level of critique. Although we've seen it fail in the past in the case of Ghostbusters (2016) and Fantastic Four (2015). it seems Marvel is want to try this tactic again with the upcoming Black Panther film, for which negative reviews were outright banned on Rotten Tomatoes, even after the lifting of the review embargo, under the claim that any less than glowing response is "hate speech". I discuss this "diversity defense" phenomena, as well the use of the diversity defense in general, as well as the concepts of representation and inclusion in film and media. Are these concepts actually universal positives?
