No one said that anyone bought into the tokenism. I don’t really understand what your point is here.

pretty sure you did, sorry if i misunderstood, this is what i was latching onto:

their female, black, etc. status is picked ahead of time as a shield for criticism

anyway - My point was, anti-wokeness is still on a conversation about the mere inclusion of progressive ideas/representation and that’s boring at best. There are real discussions we could have about representation and all the nuances about what makes an example good or bad, but anti-woke can never move on from the fact that they exist at all and will be embedded into work through a variety of different means. It’s an attitude content to default to the most vanilla, uncontroversial take about corporations with a dash of reactionary politics, handwaving every interesting thing there is to talk about in regards to media and its creation.
