And then combine that with hiring writers who actively hate the IP they are writing for
I think that is part of the “English professor’s dilemma” where these wannabe writers who know they could never create anything of the same caliber of the good writing will hate/ critique/ subvert good works to self validate their own worth as a writer. The sad thing is this used to be limited to the professors/ teachers/ low tier writers but since diversity hiring amplified they are now able to destroy at whim.
And the praise that they get is beyond absurd. Like that idiotic casting director for the Witcher that changed Yennifer’s race because she wanted a women of color to be seen as beautiful or some crap. If you truly feel that way then by all means, write your own story or research Native American,Asian, or African folklore/mythology and create your own fantasy. Hardly respectable to take someone else’s work and turn it to crap
Worse is I think some of them actually believe you can make ugly things beautiful by replacing the beautiful thing instead of making the beautiful thing ugly. It's similar to the euphemism treadmill- it's the subject that carries the stigma, not the word used to describe it. You don't make the subject more palatable, you just make more words offensive.
