Yea that's the thing. "Sjw" "woke" or whatever they're calling at the moment it is real. "Forced diversity" is a thing. However, the people saying this stuff apply it to *everything*.

Like have they not seen most 70's and 80's cartoons and live action shows where there's a large amount of token characters?
