12.5 is 1 in 8. As in there should be 1 type of protagonist out of 8. Also be historically accurate ffs, not everyone is the panther.

Are your ratios always 1:8 through life?

Ah, should have led with this so we knew to disregard the rest.

Correct.

Far too many fit and attractive people in TV and movies.

More fat, angry, bitter oafs.

True representation matters.

Just put this into ChatGPT to decipher:

This is Tiger Droppings O-T Lounge, sir.


The Movie & TV board is down the hall on the left.
It's on the left. A right turn will just bring you back here.

Not that difficult to figure out. 12.5% is roughly 13%. He's saying one demographic is overrepresented in entertainment and advertising.

Well, that’s probably why a lot of people (including myself) don’t watch.

Right. Then just say "I don't like to watch black people".

It this is true, why didn't he (or you, for that matter) just say "I believe the black demographic is over-represented on television and in movies."
