The media and revolians

There's no denying that  revolians are amongst the only groups of people who have virtually no media representation.

That poses the question- does the media actually strive to be more inclusive or does it give in to the pressure of certain groups in society?
Would the media ever portray any group that is not linked to the majority if it was not pressured to? The answer seems: "of course not".
Believe it or not, the lack of representation, endorsement and acceptance can be a form of oppression. Even though this "oppression" doesn't have its roots in law, it has its roots in the social aspect of one's everyday life.
You're constantly invalidated and sometimes even placed in a category of people you don't belong to.

Revolianism wants to give people the freedom to be able to choose how they want to present themselves to the world, without the fear of being mislabelled or miscategorized- but for that, we need media representation. 

Because let's face it- nothing is more beautiful than being yourself, being accepted for who you are and seeing other people who you can relate to be influential, powerful and endorsed.
