DEI and AA before it made sure that any White male talent took a backseat to minorities and women.
Now you have a bunch of grrlbosses and foreigners managing these assets with zero of the talent that produced them in the first place. Hell, some are so full of themselves they go out of their way to not read the original or study the established lore. Others, like that feminist dyke that wrote that Star Wars abomination Acolyte, clearly despise the source material and anyone who likes it.
All they can do is extract what profit they can from things created before them. And hey that can work but of course they can't resist race swapping, uglifying women, propping up badly written Mary Sues, injecting woke messaging, etc.
The Mary Sue problem is really telling. Anyone who enjoyed writing as a hobby is guilty of it when first starting. Who wouldn't want to be put into a favorite game or story, be the hero, get praised by the other characters, etc? But most writers grow out of that phase and don't need a college degree to do so.
The Mary Sue problem is mostly a byproduct of female writers.
Men self-insert an idealized version of themselves - bigger, faster, stronger, smarter, cooler. Gary Stu's are aspirational. They go on the hero's journey, pay dues, suffer, and come out larger than life.
Women self-insert literally themselves - dumpy, bitchy, entitled, feminist, stupid, lazy, etc. Then they torture the entire setting to worship and obey their self-inserts. Mary Sues don't go on a hero's journey. They are perfect from the start, and the world just changes to acknowledge it.
On that note, has "Transported to Another World With An Absolutely Broken Power And A Harem of Big Titty Girls From Every Fantasy Race Who Fell In Love With Me At First Sight" season 15 started yet?
