Its far worse than that, I notice almost all form of entertainment media is pushing for a default female lead.
A default female lead, black love interest, and White male villain.
They replace successful white and male leads like clockwork. Geralt is out for Ciri. Yotei is coming for Tsushima. Spider Gwen is coming to replace Spider-Man. It never happens in reverse; once a role has been “diversified”, it never goes back.
But original “diverse” properties reliably flop. So the only way to achieve successful diversity is to let straight white male characters establish popular new IP first so that diverse characters have something to steal and parasite. Even when a studio “gives us what we want”, it’s only as a stepping stone before redistributing that success to a more deserving “diversified” group.
Agreed, its absolutely digusting how they hijack every IP by saying the name or title is just a "mantle" and thus its justified to write out the male hero for something gay.
