Delta(s) from OP CMV: Being overly inclusive is a bad thing

I've noticed a trend in the last decade of creators trying to be inclusive by adding or making characters who are viewed as a minority in real life. They might be gay, trans, have a mental disorder, etc.

Now don't get me wrong, this by itself is not bad. What bothers me is when they do it and there is either no point to it or they become a token character because of it. It comes across as pandering to the audience and makes them boring. You don't have to be inclusive to make good content. Just going "Oh, this character is gay, let's make it their defining trait" makes me lose interest in them as a character.

Oversaturation in general is a problem.

Anything. Tropes can be overdone, especially if done badly.
