I know it is pointless arguing with a centrist. But how is promoting diverse characters an agenda. Why is it only if the characters isn't part of the usual "status quo" that it is considered as such.

True, the dominant agenda still remains making white, west European or Anglo men out to be heroes and saviors (the opposite of what they usually are IRL).

There's definitely a spate of really obnoxious takes (pandering) by Disney and other mainstream, white-owned media to try to score diversity brownie points, that said. I'd hesitate to call it an agenda, so much as it is just liberals trying to pretend their shit don't stink, and giving lip service to diversity with little substance if any behind what they do as usual.
