Right, there's nothing productive to be had in terms of discussion here, and I don't think you guys even care at this point either to try.
Call it whatever stupid buzzword you want - Woke, DEI, PC, SJW, or whatever dumb term people come up with next week. I don't care. The term means, always has meant, and always WILL mean "Not being an butthole to someone because they're different to you."
Don't pretend that the old stories were fine just having black or gay people - Because buttholes complained about that then, just like you are complaining about it now. The reality is, people who are not the same skin colour, sexual orientation, gender, lifestyle, size, physical ability, etc etc, than you, Exist. They always have, and always will.
Culture including people with different characteristics to you IS NOT A SLIGHT. They are not doing it to offend you, or to "gaslamp you" or whatever nonsense the Anti Woke Brigade has come up with this week. These characters are being created so that the real human beings who have those differences, have someone to look at and go "Hey this guy's like me!" That's it. That's the whole thing. It's just about making everybody feel welcome.
If you want to complain about this, I encourage you to send us a modmail. But this thread is locked, and you know darn well why.

They oscillate frequently between "how dare you suggest these characters are two dimensional cardboard cutouts meant to check a diversity box" and "obviously its happening but its a good thing"
