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

The issue I have with this is what proof is there that this is happening?  

I might decide with my own free will that my next game is going to have a female main character, because that is what I want to do.  And some will ridicule me for "forcing diversity".  

I doubt anyone ridiculed Uncharted LL or Horizon for having a female lead. You know why because both where great games. Same goes for the movie wonder woman. Nobody is claiming every female lead or LBQT inclusion is by definition forced diversity.

 

It gets more tricky when games especially try to involve themselves in politics and strive to be blatantly and very visibly to show look how PC we are. The best example remains fantastic four where they made a lead character black, while he was the brother of a white sister with the excuse that he was adopted. Forced diversity is usually just a filthy cash grab move that promotes poor writing, by including minorities so that they will consume that media.

I may be wrong but they actually gave them a black father for the twins to be different color.
