I'm tired of this overemphasis on diversity spilling into our entertainment.

All I see is a bunch of people complaining about a change in the status quo. How is the inclusion of a black or female character pandering but the inclusion of a white guy isn't? Or better yet how can you assume that there isn't equally as much done to pander to straight male audiences.

People are mad for different reasons. Personally, I strongly dislike altering existing and established characters (such as Domino in Deadpool 2, or Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four). It's not always bad, but more often than not it's shameless pandering (a good example of it working would be Nick Fury, though he is based on Ultimate Nick Fury from the Ultimate Marvel line, so he's got precedence).

Johnny storm was like 13 when he first went into space but I haven't heard anyone complain about that. I don't take comic book fans seriously because they only seem to care whenever a change involves race. Changing literally everything about civil war except for captain america punching iron Man is fine and dandy but Valkyrie is played by a brown chick and all hell breaks loose. If that doesn't scream double standard then I don't know what does.
