>>It’s all over the tv now. Not just movies, but regular tv, commercials and so on.

One of my guilty pleasures is (was) the Hallmark Channel - specifically the Christmas Movies (I keep a checklist of clichés to make them more fun) and the show “The Good Witch” with the lovely Catherine Bell.
Now, THC has been rightly accused of being whiter than Martin Mull so I can see when they started including stars from the ethnic spectrum (although Asians continue to be The Best Friend and rarely the star). No problem, they behave the same way no matter race or ethnicity and plug in to the story just fine (like heir favorite token Holly Robinson Pete).
Then in 2018 or so they made what seems the be a hard and fast rule. Unless the boss is a parent of one our main protagonists or antagonists it is ALWAYS a black woman in her 40s/50s. I think they have only 3 actresses that play this role in the dozens now that adhere to the rule. Talk about tokenism. They also tossed in a gay couple but it was a friend of a friend thing and almost off camera (no kissing thank God). I am really afraid of what the next crop will bring.
Then on The Good Witch, they introduce an OBVIOUS lezzie relationship. The really bad part is it is tacked on and meaningless to the plot or any character arcs. It is like “hey, we need gay to shut up the sjws.” We no longer watch it and I hope it crashes and burns.
When THC is no longer family safe, there is no refuge.
