only when it's changed from the initial work (book, movies, etc.), I have no issue when it's done intentionally from the start.
To me, it feels like censorship. maybe I'm over-reacting, but I dislike work and author's vision butchering.
You can argue that the TV series creator did it intentionally from HIS/HER start
, that's his/her vision, and I'll agree. But if it's only to prevent having issues, and not a "vision", that's different because forced to follow a trend. not work of art.
Here, they decided Lucifer would be a woman. fine, that's a vision
if they switch a white male to black woman, or added queer sexuality to a character who was not in the original art just to be trending and avoid issues from the LGBT community, it's questionable.
If they chose the actors based on their performance at the casting event, then even better ! that's also who it should happen, hire actors for their job and capability, and not to fill an amount of checkboxes.
I have nothing against the performance, the actors, the fact they are queer, gay, whatever skin color or origin. I just feel bad if it's a forced decision to fit in today's mold.
Like I said I didn't know the original work, never read the comics, and I liked all the shows and the performers.
