My theory is that because no woke protagonist has succeeded in breaking through to mainstream appeal, all of the woke developers see it as a gap in the market that they can fill. So they continually produce the same woke content - to the point where virtually every new IP features the same cookie-cutter list characters - because they think the last ten attempts just didn’t nail it hard enough. It’s like “real communism has never been tried”, only in character design form.

Your optimism is noted, but the simplest solution is usually the best one, which in this case means assuming malice.
