This debate has actual interesting content if you ignore the culture war stakes. With both Foundation and Rings of Power, I don’t even notice the DEIfication (🤣). But Bridgerton made me go “hell no.” Hamilton was better but still too much for me. Why?

Wait a minute though, it seems like you're *strongly affirming* the ... hmm, necessity of e.g. race as it exists? I mean for LOTR, i'm like, there are elves and goblins and s*** so who cares if some people are browner?...

Aha yeah, phew. Yes, there is value in, I wouldn't say "keeping it accurate," per se, it is a question of "this matters here." Again, I don't see Hamilton as e.g. "DEI," but as a deliberate choice for a purpose.
(note not categorically opposed to 'DEI' either)
