“Demographic X needs more representation in the media!”

“But please make sure that demographic is only represented as perfect angels without any big faults”

“And they definitely can’t the bad guy!”

“And don’t you dare let any of the members that demographic die! It doesn’t matter if it’s a work of fiction where characters frequently die.”

“And please make sure they’re stereotypical enough that they appeal to me without being so stereotypical that they offend me.”

“Also, make sure their character is written by another member of that demographic.”

“What do you mean these characters seem like a chore to create and maintain without offending anybody? Don’t you care about representation? Are you some sort of bigot?”
