Summary

Join the Unapologetic Discord Server: https://discord.gg/unapologetic Gothix joins me again for a discussion about “representation”—the idea that people from “marginalized groups'' need to “see themselves” in movies, leadership, and other prominent positions in society in order for them to feel like they belong and can achieve things themselves.

And it takes, she's probably not supposed to have based on the way that she looks.
