I may have prematurely jumped the gun on my previous comments about Drama Queen inevitably being pozzed. I hope I'm wrong. This all being said though, we thought Attack on Titan was based too.
Disclaimer for errors since I never read/watched MHA, but I know there was a doctor character who was called 'Dr. Maruta', translated 'Dr. Log'. Mostly (exclusively?) Chinese grievance farmers raised hell because 'maruta' was the term used for test subjects/victims of Japan's brutal Unit 731 in WW2. The claims of if being a direct reference became inflated, to the point that people started saying Unit 731's entire project was referred to as 'Project Maruta' (it wasn't; closest claim I could find is that the unit might have called the project Holzklotz internally, german for 'log'). It is also just the extremely common term for wooden logs - if you've ever played an MMO in Japanese, you've probably collected 1000 'marutas' at some stage.
Regardless, the creator acquiesced to the outcry and changed the name.
Wow, that sounds even more pathetic than the outcry over Tanjirou's earrings, from Demon Slayer.
(People were bitching that they had the rising sun design of the flag from Imperial Japan and that's bad, because reasons. And it wasn't even true in the first place.)
This doesn't even require an assumption of political posturing, what you said is pretty much how shonen writers scrabble from deadline to weekly deadline anyway.

My Hero Academia started going downhill the instant Kohei Horikoshi changed the name of that doctor.
I'm out of the loop on that one. What happened?

It's okay to just enjoy things. You don't have to be so addicted to losing that you look for things to preemptively worry about.
Bruh why are you obsessing over this

All 4 main characters introduced are all anti aliens and they have nobody to root for hahahaha.
In chapter 4, it will turn out that the detective was just pretending to be anti alien to get close to the protagonists.
In chapter 5, he'll have a change of heart when he sees an alien do something bad.
In chapter 6, we'll find out the alien actually dindu nothin and it was anti alien bias that made people see malice where there was none.
In chapter 7, it'll all be a conspiracy set up by the aliens in charge to false flag racists into hating aliens because bigotry is profitable.
And so forth.
That's right, I'm going full schizo and declaring that the entire purpose of this manga is to repeatedly play both sides for exposure.

My earlier comparisons to this and The Turner Diaries are only getting stronger.
Based If True.
