Agree with others it could've been worded better however the criticism of certain works basically tokenizing particular groups is valid. It seems there are some creators who are afraid of writing characters from particular demographics with any individuality or depth because recognizing they have flaws or whatever else somehow makes them less sympathetic? they're afraid it "validates" the treatment they receive from bigots?

It's certainly better than racist/prejudiced/etc. depictions but it's a far cry from good rep most of the time. However, I will say some of it is just...bad writing and not intentional or the result of not knowing how to handle writing characters outside your experience. Beginner writers or just plain bad writers often fall back on black/white depictions because this is easy to do and relating all the nuanced layers of different characters takes time to develop as a skill.
