Is there literally any way to write a minority characters without pissing off Yea Forums?
What did Alien did "right" and nu-Star Wars and Capital Marvel is doing wrong?
I'm legitimately asking, as I have a gay character (he's the 2nd male character and the only minority character) and honestly seeing how the majority here dislikes those two things, plus shows like She-Ra, SU, Black Panter, Spider-Verse, Adventure Time ect. ect.
And making wonder that no matter how hard I would try, I fell like I'm gonna piss everyone off, or end up "going woke, and going broke" or whatever :/
Here's a much better question: does it matter if you piss off Yea Forums?
Write something good, not something that licks Yea Forums's asshole.

Yes. See Spiderverse, Teen Titans Cyborg, Xmen, Barracuda, Black Panther, ect, ect, ect Also women aren't minorities you retarded Disney shill

It's simple: Don't make the fact that your character is a woman, or gay, or black, or any of those kinds of characteristics the core of their identity. Make it something that is more or less one aspect of an otherwise complex and engaging character. With nu-Star Wars and Captain Marvel, the people responsible for making them are doing so with a clear agenda in mind. They want to pander to the various 'progressive' groups by adding in Mary Sue characters which specifically appeal to their ideals of "grrrrrl power" or the equivalent for non-white and LGBT characterization. There will of course still be people on Yea Forums and elsewhere who may be upset about this, but at least they'll have less ammunition to use against you if you do this right. It doesn't matter if people are angry at you for something, what matters is if they have good reasons for being angry or not, and if they don't, they can fuck right off and you won't have to pay any attention to them.

>like She-Ra, SU, Black Panter, Spider-Verse, Adventure Time Here's the difference between when you write something and all of those films and shows. You're not going to make it their entire character. You're not going to have it as the main selling point on marketing. You're not going to forsake main character growth for last minute lesbian love stories. You're not going to replace a cishet white male with a minority with the same name to try and garner headlines.
You want a minority character done right, look at Steel. Look at Obsidian. People like these characters because they were made with it in mind but it's not their whole character.
You want to know how to avoid it, look at all the ones you mentioned. Look at Renee Toyota's Question, look at FemThor. They all create their own problems that are really easy to avoid when you're not hamstrung by marketing or an agenda.
