Represent

Regarding "Q Force", Netflix delivered. On that subject, there is plenty of representation: Mineta (My Hero Academia), Mandy (I am not Star Fire), Snowflake & Safespace. They are even represented in live action media: Chris Chan, who identifies as trans.

Mandy especially represents the community who craves representation in the media. Geeky Sparkles over at Clownfish TV  is a mother & a teacher who used to be involved with her school's book fair. She described Mandy as an awful person, who raged at her mother and disliked herself. In a creepy turn, short & squat Mandy fell for a California-type blond, who bore some resemblance with her mother. Without improving in personality, Mandy gains powers, saves the day & gets the girl. Thus she started to like herself once the externalities changed. Now, Geeky said that Mandy doesn't have a character arc. I respectfully disagree. 

The world conformed to Mandy's wishes. Mandy did not need to compromise with the world. In fact, she could not have, because that would have invalidated her prior emotions, so she stayed the wretched human. This is the SJW mindset, where the world must change to alleviate their twisted psyche. They push people's language to change, public restrooms must accommodate their inclinations, and government must enforce this warping on the world. That is the character arc of the activist and the revolutionary.

The results are scattered throughout the 20th century, and they are being razed in the great reset, even as our pop culture is in the spate of remakes.
