Look, I can't speak for everyone, but for me when people do stuff like this, it feels like they don't actually care.

Like for instance: Marvel Comics with black girl Iron Man and woman Thor. I don't want to read comics about them. I want to read comics about Storm and Rogue. In fact, the reason I got into Marvel when I was a kid was because they had all these amazing multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, multi-species characters. Sure, they were mostly supporting characters and white guys were leading the packs, but there was something for everyone. Everyone had unique super powers and it felt like everyone belonged in that universe. There was a place for everyone in that universe, no matter how much of a "freak" they were.

So when people start clamoring that they want more diversity in their media, Marvel hears their cries. They sure do. Instead of bringing their awesome supporting minority characters to the front, or hell, even taking the time to make new minority characters with unique powers, what does Marvel do? They just genderflip and racebend a few of their white guys. Because they care very deeply about representation and all that. Yep, they sure do. They're woke. Oh yeah, woke af.

I can't stand this shit. It's lazy and it's insulting.

Yep. It's like they just want to feel good about their faux progressiveness without really doing much so they take well loved roles and just half-heartedly shoehorn ~diverse~ characters into those roles instead of taking a gamble and actually making an effort by creating new diverse characters that can stand their own.
And then, when they have alienated both the established fans (by warping well loved superheroes into something else) and people wanting representation (because they can't be bothered to actually make new interesting characters and just treat minorities as lacking understudies for the "proper" versions of heroes) alike, they can just retire the failed attempt at making an established hero ~diverse~ and go back to the status quo by saying "see, we tried, diversity just doesn't sell".

The writing on that show is bad overall though.
