Alright, let's have it

I'm personally against that. You should add a LGBT if it fits the story not to appease a group

jel, i think he was continuing the joke per:

token cute asian girl for the asian market - modern day fake nerd with hipster glasses to appeal to the modern day fake nerds with hipster glasses

Include a token black guy to die then and a token "too good for this world" sean bean.

No, you should add an LGBT member for the same reason you would add a straight character.

Fair enough. I am just against throwing in characters to appease demographics. A joke is different.

That;s what i was going with. Jmoz seemed to have 2 token characters, the cute asian chick for both the oriental and female demographic, and Mr Bernal to appease the growing latino market.

If they even went halfway that outlandish, just to 'appease' people, it would turn me RIGHT off the show.

It's really a foggy thing though. You could simply cast for talent and write the character accordingly, but you'd still get nailed for having an all white cast, or a "diverse" cast to appease the people or a token. But then there's an issue of realistic depictions. As far as I know, there are no female generals or Admirals in the US armed forces so if a female general Hammond appears....yeah about that. But if it takes place a decade from now it wouldn't be so odd. If it's a whole SGC of white people(Or of any kind)....yeah about that. But if there are proportional minorities then okay.

It's not nearly as bad as making films that take place in the past conform to today's standards regarding gender and race. That's where the appeasement can become easily noticeable.
