520    We're living in a time of unprecedented diversity in 
       produced media content, with more LGBT characters, more 
       characters of color, more disabled characters, and more 
       characters from various religions or classes. These 
       characters also appear in genre pieces, accessible to the 
       mainstream, instead of being hidden away in so-called 
       worthier" pieces, as in the past. This book discusses 
       issues of race, disability, sexuality, and transgender 
       people with specific reference to characterization in 
       movies, TV, and novel writing. Using such examples as the 
       film Mad Max: Fury Road and the novel Gone Girl, the book 
       explores how character role function really works. It 
       discusses such questions as the difference between 
       stereotype and archetype, why "trope" does not mean what 
       Twitter and Tumblr think it means, how the burden of 
       casting affects both box office and audience perception, 
       and why diversity is not about agendas, buzzwords or being
       "politically correct." It also goes into what authenticity
       truly means, and why research is so important; why variety
       is key in ensuring true diversity in characterization; and
       what agents, publishers, producers, filmmakers, and 
       commissioners are looking for -- and why.".
