“Disney drones all seem to agree that they hate aliens because they somehow undermine "real diversity".
These people are uninspired humanist idiots who have repeatedly said that they only want star wars to mimic real life rather than have fun or unique stories or even actual pulp tributes despite being a freaking SPACE OPERA and pulp homage set in an alien setting, not a historical or political retelling. Hence why you now have trans rights activism on Chandrila, 40% of the galaxy being queer and the new main reason people rebelled against the evil Empire being due to the outlaw of gay marriage and not because they committed mass planetary genocide, among other atrocities.”
I recall seeing a Twitter thread where Halo fans were complaining about humans in the covenant, and someone said “well humans are real!”
Why the immediate response to that is “it’s sci fi, moron”, I think their reasoning is something along the lines of-fiction should impart some sort of message, and “IU” logic and justification is not really important, advancing the right political views are.
If you see any form of media as having this requirement, then having a fleshed out secondary world(to use Tolkien’s term) is something of an impediment, perhaps even an obstacle towards social activism.
For this reason-it’s important to have blacks and gays and whatever, having fictional species or races-simply prevents representation of “real” people and thus doesn’t advance the message.
