I'm seconding this sentiment: every time in a story a (white) man just believes a woman / colored person without whining or naysaying, it stops me in my tracks. It's so unusual, esp. in SFFnal visual adaptations. (It shouldn't, but it is. Thankfully, books and stories are better.)

Although there are stories that do okay. We just rewatched the Star Trek movies (TOS & TNG crews). In them women are, as a rule, listened to.

@eppujensen@mementomori.social I wonder if that's partly about the demographics of gatekeepers in screen stories vs publishing, plus the greater opportunities for anonymity (to some degree) in publishing, and who therefore makes it respectively through those very narrow gates.
