It matters so much. As a straight, white, cis male, I'm so glad that kids these days of all backgrounds have representation in media.

Not only does it make for a much better variety of stories and styles, but it gives kids proper role models and lets them know that there are other people out there like them. The difference in this aspect between now and the 90s is unbelievable, and I really hope we don't backslide too much...
