News media bias, a problem for aros?
Feb. 1st, 2021 01:20 pmI couldn't work out where to put this on Arocalypse so I put it here!
I'm not sure what cultural barriers might be between my experiences in Australia and where all you readers may be from, so just understand that the following is Australian.
I watched Gone Girl and a quote stuck in my head 'America loves pregnant women' and it has been in the back of my mind as I watch the news. It seems Australia loves the idea of babies and potential babies.
( Mentions death and plane crash )
Single people, people without children, are given less coverage or ignored. I have heard 'LGBTQI' used, but no 'A'. The news style seems to be creating more barriers to accepting single people which will probably lead to a longer time before acknowledging Aromantics.
Have you noticed how the media where you live works? Does it seem to have the same bias, or a different one?
