As much as I despise the “anti-woke” crowd, this is not a good argument and completely misunderstands what they’re angry about.

They are angry about what they perceive as “forced diversity” that destroys modern media and that corporates like Disney are pushing a “woke agenda”.

I disagree with this view. I think representation in media is good. Games and movies usually turn bad for unrelated reasons (like rushed production or poor management).

Stop buying bigots' excuses. Any diversity is forced, in their minds.

I've had assholes tell me that any role which doesn't have an explicit need to be nonwhite should be white by default.

Yeah, exactly... no one tries to understand one another anymore.... just assumptions and rage. Of course, people believing in forced diversity ought be met with rage, but only after truly understanding it

It’s easy to win arguments against straw men.
