I loved Diggle too. It really comes down to good actors and good writing. Granted CW stuff’s cheesy, but it’s cheesy in an enjoyable way. Plenty of great black actors in things, like Idris Elba and Denzel’s son. I haven’t seen their full catalog or anything, but I can’t recall either of them being in anything that was about them being black.
I don’t watch much of anything, but if movies or shows look like they’re about the race or genders or sexual preferences of the characters, it’s a good filtering mechanism to know it’s going to suck. In part because with the current SJW belief system, they can’t give characters any flaws or be critical of their culture in the process, which would be the fucking point of a narrative work.
We don’t exactly need more things about gay people, but as an example, if they made something about gay people that hated the current alphabet movement and they called each other fags and joked around about things, went into being gay maybe not at all defining them, questioning whether or not they would want to marry a woman to have kids because maybe they still wanted that despite loving cock, or went into how many if not most gay people have some fucked up childhood experiences that amount to molestation or rape, it would at least be interesting. Maybe go into how some people probably aren’t gay but just want attention. All kinds of things that could be interesting if well written that would be about gay people. But they never do that and can’t because it’d present gay people as flawed. They always present gay people as these super human Gary Sue’s that just want to suck dick in peace but everyone’s giving them shit about it. In real life nobody gives a fuck. It’s not enough to make for the basis of being a character in a story.
Any narrative work that presents all characters as flawless isn’t a narrative work in any deep sense.

Absolutely correct! Make the character grow! It is fine for the character to be good at something. But at EVERYTHING?!
Fuck the maREY Sues!
