There will be people who tell you to give up, and there will be days when hope feels distant[…] But it is through understanding the threats we face, maintaining connection with one another, and quietly, relentlessly finding ways around policies meant to erase us that we continue to survive.

And when history does bend toward justice—as it always eventually does—it will be because people like us were there, hands on the arc, bending it.

So: moratorium on re-using IP in movies. The UK makes heavy use of movie subsidies. We should use this to disincentivise anything sits inside an existing franchise. If a movie’s success is likely more to do with existing mindshare than its content, don’t support it.
