This article made me really sad, since I respect you so much and usually find your writing so thoughtful.

Terms like cancel culture and woke are terms designed to dismiss and negate the voices of oppressed people who are trying to speak up. No, everyone doesnt get it right all the time, and yes, some of it is reactionary from being depicted in the same (racist, misogynistic, fat phobic, transphobic, homophobic, etc) way for so so long. But do I think the answer is to silence those voices? I do not. I think the answer is to engage in thoughtful dialogue around it. Are harmful stereotypes being perpetuated or not? Are we continuing to reinforce violence against women (or at least our lack of shock about it) or not? What is the purpose of having these elements in something we are making today?

These are all questions I believe are worth asking ourselves. There are some great documentaries out there about representation in movies and TV and the effects on our culture and individuals that I highly recomend you watch. Then perhaps you can write a more thoughtful, less dismissive article that looks at effect, nuance, and impact and thinks about how the role of (yes even fiction) media can have on our lives and how we want to navigate it.
I'm not suggesting we dont depict certain things, I'm simply suggesting we be thoughtful about it. Do we really want another story about how a person with a disability has no prospects for romance and wants to die? Or can we think about a different story we want to tell.
