This worked in television and movies because those audiences are legitimately diverse. Everyone watches tv. Everyone goes to the movies (unfortunately).
Video games are a different story. Despite their comically aggressive efforts to cultivate a female player base, it’s clear that 85% or more of core gamers are male. So when you see these game reveal shows where 75% of new games feature female protagonists, and most of the protagonists in new games in established series are being genderswapped, it all appears ridiculous.
There was a 'Toss (Redpanels?) to this effect. A buffet with a dish from every country in the world would be amazing. Mixing it all up into slop would make you sick.
Diversity of shows. Not diversity in shows. Works same in video games and manga/anime. They make it for a specific demographic and usually does well.

It's literally how "nations" worked for all of history. We have a beautiful multicultural world that the wokies want to mix up and destroy.
THEY want to make a golem.. because the "chosen" people need to create a golem that they cannot control and will ultimately destroy them.
