Sometimes it's a problem where a character will be a minority/woman/etc and the show will have genuine problems... but people will assume all of the criticism comes from racists/sexists.
Then you just argue in circles about whether it's genuinely bad or if people just hate women/BIPOC/LGBT, etc.
Recently I saw a post where a woman influencer was criticised for her actions and many people claimed that a male influencer wouldn't face the same criticism.
It's stupid because I've seen so many people talking about how the culture war is a smokescreen for the class war and yet people eat it up.
No gender war for me, thanks. Only class war, please.
Uhhh of course you'd say that because the upper class are all men!
Sort of "Are you a bot or just influenced by them?" responses.
Unfortunately, the studio execs are going to see this flopping and think "we can't have diverse leads," instead of "our whole release plan and the way we're creating our interconnection universe is flawed."
