I have seen The Acolyte, as I have seen/read/played a majority of what has come out of Star Wars after Disney bought it, as well as plenty of the Extended Universe from the George Lucas days. And I wouldn't consider any "gender/race related things completely out of place" in The Acolyte.

If I had seen The Acolyte without interacting with the Internet, I wouldn't even have considered that people would have a major problem with it. And if The Acolyte had been released as a book or comic instead, I doubt it would've made any waves on the Internet.

In all honesty, I have a hard time believing that anyone accusing The Acolyte of having an agenda doesn't have an agenda themselves. Especially among the content creators who make a living by publicly hating on stuff.
