Normal people often do care about authenticity. Most entertainment projects that are infested with DEI quotas are easily seen a mile away and it seems a large portion of the general public is starting to recognize it.
Normal people don't care about any of that, because they are not even familiar with the source content.
Fans of the source content matter
Must be why Dune flopped so hard! Black Chani. Guatemalan Leto. Spanish Stilgar. Black Jamis. Female Kynes. Hell, they entirely changed the hair and skin color for Harkonnen.
Oh wait.
Almost no one cares. Well, not anyone who is mentally sound. This isn't why a movie flops or does well (in terms of directly quality).
You aren't even giving any criteria for what makes the shows good.
Script, acting, editing, cinemograph, score. These things are what actually matter in quality, and what dictates the quality. Not race or gender.
Again, my stance on this is the correct apolitical centrist one. In general you have these 3 camps,
A). Far right: The movie sucks because a minority or woman took a role. (Not supported by reviews).
B). Far left: The movie is good because a minority or woman took a role. (Not supported by reviews).
C.) Normal well adjusted person: The movie is good or bad depending on the actual quality of the film. (Supported by reviews).
I strongly fall into C.
I dont get what this far left far right stuff your talking about.
But you need a new category because your missing the people who don't want this change in 40k completely and it has nothing to do with right or left.
So here's a new camp.
D.)fans of the source material who want it too match the material they love and are fans of.
like it or not, studios are in the business of making money, not satisfying 2% of the nerds who will care about every detail and will throw a fuss over this kind of stuff. they know race/geneder swapping will piss of the "core" fans. i think they just don't care. they've done the calculations that new fans they'll pull in with their changes will offset the boycotts.
i think the real problem is these idiot studios put some much focus into trying to broaden fanbases that they end not spending their effort on quality writing and competent direction so they get core fans who leave and new fans who never jump on board because the product sucks.
