      I feel like a lot of “woke” shows are not great, but they get a cult of defenders and haters boosting it’s popularity because of some perceived culture war. When it’s really just execs trying to make their milk toast milquetoast slop shamelessly appeal to a wider audience.

      No one complains about Spiderverse (after it came out) because it was good

        Bigots aside, I’m convinced most people are 100% fine with queer and gender non-conforming characters so long as they’re well written.

        People like characters that act like actual people – not pandering, one dimensional, rainbow capitalistic tokens.
