good actions for wrong reasons are... still good actions. you want to hire black actors to pander to minorities? sure, it'll still help a little child imagine themselves as the hero, and help the actor show their skill. you want to hire a sensitivity consultant because it'll look good in the credits? please do, at best they'll really help, at worst they'll get a free paycheque.
and if a race swapped character acts the same way as they did before? well alright, as long as it's not completely nonsensical. obviously there are social and cultural differences but the world is vast, plenty of personalities out there.
we become what we do. this inclusiveness might be caused by pandering today, but because it's being done at all, tomorrow it'll be the norm

you're more of an intellectual than a "140iq superior intellect" person who is blinded by their own ability to solve puzzles and thinks they're better than everyone else and never wrong about anything
the problem with reddit is that it used to be amazing, and is still the best place to ask questions (though with the number of bots this is slowly becoming less and less true).
i still vividly remember the time when i spent 2 weeks messaging microsoft support that insisted that i need to replace the device i just bought, even though i repeatedly told them the device works fine with a different machine so something must be wrong with my PC. so i got frustrated and asked the same question on reddit, within a few hours someone diagnosed exactly what was wrong, and gave me tips on how to fix it (or well, in that case i needed to walk around the issue rather than fix it)
and even now whenever i look up tech issues the first results that actually have thought behind the words (instead of sponsorships for whatever driver updating software company bought the article) it's usually on reddit
it's such a shame it's been aggressively going down hill, it could've truly stayed the front page of the internet for decades. all it had to do was not get worse for the user
grief is the debt we take on by loving something
there will always be a tragedy at the end
