Most modern shows today think that their show is supposed to have a gay character as a requirement to pass some diversity test and they then proceed to make that character’s value centre around their gayness and almost nothing else. Basically they are the token gay person.
There is also a lot of soap box rants and preaching about who are the heroic victims and who are the villains shoehorned in there to meet some sort of perceived obligation. Especially when it comes to the concept of what they think feminism is.
A show that uses diversity well is the expanse. All the preaching about bigotry there is mostly based on the cultures between Earth, Mars, and Belters. With some future rich vs poor classes sprinkled in for fun.
I think you your argument is pretty solid.
