with a million disclaimers here of "no, not like that" i do feel like theres's this weird reactionary trend in writing/media of creators trying to anticipate what parts an audience might find problematic and avoid that to the detriment of art :/

it's like romance plot lines not being allowed to have any real interpersonal conflict or messy disagreements just in case someone calls them toxic or the like therapy speak in a lot of recently published novels in the absence of character
u should have seen when i was active in (mostly white, american, middle class) writing community where diversity in characters was more of a checklist than anything and i had to obsess over the relationship dynamics in the stories i was telling lol
