It's like, you create an original character and people don't complain about ethnicity..

That might be changing though. I'm pretty suspicious of any media that has a protagonist from an "underrepresented" background, and I didn't always feel that way. In Current Year it's a warning sign that it's full of woke shit, and even if it isn't it gets a pass to be garbage because it checks the boxes that our rotten culture actually cares about. I give older media the benefit of the doubt.
