Do we need a Bechdel test for news?

Let me see if I get this right…

We’re going to have special tests to decide the creative content of “media” to ensure diversity and anything that doesn’t pass the test is condemned because it isn’t statistically correct.

Will there be book burning for all the great fictional works that don’t meet these standards?

Will TV and Movies that also fail these test be destroyed as well?

What about art?

Do we destroy the Mona Lisa because it isn’t diverse enough to pass the test?

“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.” Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451

Forcing artists, writers, and authors into a construct of applied diversity ruins creativity.
