Welcome to Part 2 of the Girls in Capes interview! Please, if you haven't already, go listen to Part 1 first, where you will learn all about Girls in Capes and the ladies involved in the panel!
In Part II of this 2 part interview, we discuss PROBLEMATIC MEDIA! Problematic favorites as in problematic creators, problematic FANDOMS, and problematic content. What makes something problematic? Why do we, as consumers of media, continue to support works that are problematic? What can we do to change the problematic media that is popular today?!
Listen to us discuss OUR problematic favorites as well as flip everything in the opposite direction to works that are more inclusive! Like last week, the moral we want you to take away from this episode is that money talks. Throw your money at the types of stories you want to hear whether it be movies, books, television, what have you! Spend your dollars where they are going to count. Media outlets will recognize this and start creating more diverse works!

Answers to the Instagram Question: "Given the shift in the industry lately, and the push to support female filmmakers/writers/artists, who are some underrated female artists that you think we can support with our dollars? Bonus points if they are ladies (or female identifying) of color."

This week on Love Your Bodd, Heather sits down with the Founder of the online publication "Girls in Capes," along with several ladies of the writing team, to talk about representation in geek culture!
In Part I of this 2 part interview, we discuss "Girls in Capes" and why is it so important today. We also talk about how media influences us from a young age and how that carries over into our adult life/personality. The goal of the discussion is to take a closer look at the way we consume media compared to ways we can support works that are more inclusive. Part 2 takes it much deeper with discussions on problematic favorites and what makes them so "problematic." But you'll have to wait until next week for that!
One moral we want you to take away from this episode is that money talks. Throw your money at the types of stories you want to hear whether it be movies, books, television, what have you! Spend your dollars where they are going to count. Media outlets will recognize this and start creating more diverse works!
