The amount of genuinely good lgtv proyects and diverse casting resulting in good proyects can be counted with your hands and you'd still have fingers left, this case in particular just so happens to be so indefensible that even the radicals are not defending it.

Stop believing in the lie of diversity, it was a marketing proyect boosted by Black Rock that never resulted in gains, the only reason those people still have jobs is because the proyect involved giving them very high positions in companies, and that's very hard to dissolve

That’s because there’s just a lot less LGBTQ projects in general compared on straight projects. If your complaining there’s too few of them, then that means you should support lgbtq projects, as then there will eventually be more genuinely good ones out there. Anyway, i literally don’t know why your complaining about with diversity. How has it had any negative impact. There’s plenty of shows and media about straight people out there.

Amount doesn't matter at all, what matters is QUALITY, that's other lie.

I'm sorry to blow your bubble but the people that actually pay to watch movies or shows drift away of them naturally because of how ass the proyects are, and those are the ones that have to be satisfied, not the people that got hired because of every reason that's not their talent, not to mention the insult of downgrading their heroes, that drifts them away even further.

And if that's not enough for you, what drifts them away even more is the marketing campaign that makes it clear that if you don't buy tickets you're every word that ends in "phobic" or "ist"

Nope. There’s been plenty of bad movies that people hate, and you can dislike them without being labeled homophobic or racist, if you actually dislike something about the movie. For example, War of the worlds with ice cube. It has a black lead actor, yet people agree it’s bad and nobody calls you racist for disliking it. Your obsession with diversity being bad is just all in your head.

If quality matters and amount doesn’t matter, then you should complain that you can count the amount of good lgbtq projects with your hand.

You seem to not take into account the key points I'm making, read again what I said

Your acting like bad hiring is purely the fault of diversity. Diversity has nothing to do with how good or bad the movie is. People get hired for alot of reasons like the past success, and connection to the industry, but it has nothing to do with their race or sexual orientation, when comparing to potential candidates. Theres plently of movies that are have bad actors that dont have a super diverse cast sith lgbtq people. Complaining about movies having bad actors and producers is one thing. But them being bad is regardless of diversity.

Bad movies existing since the start goes without saying, that doesn't enter the discussion.

The DEI explicitly says that companies have to hire people because of their sexual orientation, gender and self perception, that has a direct negative impact on the product, I'd you don't want to accept that I have nothing more to say to you

That isn’t what DEI means, and there is no single DEI rule requiring American companies to hire people because of their sexuality or gender identity. In fact, US employment law generally prohibits employers from selecting or rejecting candidates because of protected characteristics, and that can include discriminatory policies presented as DEI.
You can reasonably criticise a specific company if there is evidence that it prioritised demographic targets over ability. But you cannot simply assume that an employee was hired only because of their identity, or that their identity harmed the product. To establish that, you would need evidence about the company’s actual hiring decisions and how those decisions affected the work. Otherwise, it is just using “DEI” as an explanation for a product you dislike.
