Bigoted asshole or not, he's got a point. You've both got points. Corporations adopted DEI policies across all industries starting about 2018. The problem is that it wasn't enough to push diversity in casting. The industry also pushed diversity in the writer's room. Companies brought in writers that primarily ticked boxes with a goal toward racial, sex, and sexual orientation variety. Writing skill and experience was a distant, secondary concern. As a result, we've all seen a marked decrease in writing quality across the board. Audiences have noticed too and have reacted by doing things like cutting back on theater attendance.
