    I personally find that identity politics is far too often used as a shield against genuine criticism. Some corporate types create something bland, or just outright terrible, and add a whole lot of tokenism. Someone points out that the story is terrible, the characters are terrible, and that it seems to do nothing but pander, and they’re immediately likened to some of the worst people on Earth.

    Surely only the most militant alt-right extremist would criticise these committee curated progressive consumable products!

    Short answer is “yes”, although it’s much less of a tribe and more just the average person.
