what makes it even worse is that hollywood execs know when their movies/tv shows are shaping up to be total shit, and they purposefully lean into the culture war stuff to try and cause controversy and get free marketing. They also love using diverse casts as a shield, when they know they have a total stinker they think to themselves "well let's at least make it filled with didactic liberal moralism" to shield themselves from criticism. That way when they get negative reviews for their absolute trash movie they can blame it on the reactionary review bombers, when it would have gotten bad reviews anyway
