Skywalker🪐 (@khan_skywalker) responded to a user who argued that including diverse characters negatively impacts storytelling. Skywalker's response, which has garnered significant attention, uses examples from popular franchises like Lord of the Rings and Zelda to demonstrate how diverse representation can enrich narratives. "The fact that he believed that inclusion somehow sacrificed story," Skywalker said, referring to the original commenter's viewpoint. "The reason stories involving the underrepresented are never good to people like this is because they go in with an agenda to hate."

The video serves as a reminder that diverse representation is not about forcing narratives but about creating richer, more relatable stories for a wider audience.
