...That's sounds about right :(

TBH I've seen this happen to a lot of fandoms, especially those in 'dry spells' that cling to the first bits of canon a little too hard.

Then someone like me, say, walks in on an Andor dogpile and has no idea what's going on, until I realize "Oh. They changed something." And 'shitbags' complaining about skin color or gender are almost always the loudest, yeah.
