I think you are being a bit overly critical. Maybe you watched a sjw show and now the algo thinks that is what you want.

Ozarks, The Witcher, Big Mouth, Stranger Things, The Crown, Umbrella Academy are some of the more popular shows that I have seen and I don't recall any straining for diversity or social justice.

The Witcher - largely ruined by americanization/caricature of the (good in the original) female characters and squashing the elf themes into modern racism/immigration framework.

I hear Umbrella Academy will have Elliot Page's character transition to match his own, so I guess that's out for ceeplusplus.

Well considering the actor's transition all I can say uhhhhhh..... that makes a lot of sense. Umbrella Academy will remain just fine.

You should hit "parent" once or twice to see the context. You missed something.

The parent comments are about needlessly working in LGBTQ characters. Seems like if one of your leads transitions, you are going to have to solve that issue somehow.

So if you check context (as I recommended to stjohnswarts), you'll see I wasn't actually commenting on that one way or the other at all. I was goofing on ceeplusplus.

Oh, I see. I just didn't read the last part correctly.

That'll potentially be the first trans character I'll ever be aware of in a TV show I'll watch.

Add The Last Kingdom to the list.

Ozarks feminist trash after the first season, the Witcher feminist trash in how they changed the characters from the game, stranger things is a poster child for feminist trash, the crown is literally about one of the handful of women rulers and I haven’t watched the umbrella academy.

I've watched Ozarks from the beginning and I would have to say that nothing in it has come across to me as a feminist agenda.
