Media is pretty open nowadays, mate.. you’re in the comments section of someone who created a movie critic channel on a free platform, and now has millions of people watch his reviews.
Do we somehow say he doesn’t deserve what he worked for because he’s a white male?
Are we saying people only chose to listen to his reviews because he’s a white male?
Do we hand his channel over to a female for equality purposes and expect people to continue watching it?
What does Brie want? You think she’s saying we need to diversify the workplace, how?.. this is the workplace.
Anyone can create media channels for free on just about any platform, if people want to listen to what you have to say, they will. Why aren’t the people who Brie is talking about, doing this? ..and if they aren’t, why exactly do they deserve an audience?
If they are and nobody watches them, how is that discrimination? You can’t force people to listen to things/people/opinions that they don’t enjoy or agree with. Just as you can’t dissuade people from consuming content they like.
What Brie said is arrogance.. if you don’t care about the opinions of ‘40 year old white males’, don’t read/watch their reviews.. read/watch the reviews from the critics you apparently support.
Imagine the positive impact she could have had by saying “I read this great review by ‘x person/people/channel’, I really enjoy their work reviewing movies of this nature”.
This brings that critic to the attention of a large audience, many will check their work out, if they like it, then they will likely continue to follow their work........... and now that entity can give their ‘non 40 year old white male’ perspective to a larger audience.
Instead Brie decided to take a spiteful shot at the majority audience for her upcoming movie, call the industry sexist and racist for not ‘hiring’ people who can’t generate their own following.. while arrogantly expecting the people she insulted pay to see her feminist driven movie 🤔

I believe you’ve missed the point. Where does 67% come from? Who decides which critics are included in this sample? You can skew these figures however you want, just choose a different cross section of the media.
Rotten tomatoes is a site, one I would NEVER listen to or bother visiting, as I don’t agree with their reviews. I don’t know what % of that company is male, female, other, black, white, brown, red, yellow, nor do I care. Bottom line is, I don’t have to listen to their opinion, nor does anyone else.
This applies to ALL reviews. A review is an opinion, if you don’t like someone’s opinion, just don’t listen to it.. seek out a different opinion.
If people are interested in the perspective of a person based on their colour/gender, they’re probably racist/sexist, but putting that aside, if a person is only interested in the opinions of black women, then read their reviews and ignore other reviews.
Instead of Brie taking a negative, snarky shot at white males, using fabricated percentages in a storm of virtue signalling. Why didn’t she use her platform to promote critics she likes? Give them some exposure?
You can lift people up without tearing others down.
