Hollywood strongly disagrees, based on how they seem to handle it most of the time.
As long as they’re profitable that’s fine. If they’re not profitable then they might want to revisit that strategy.
I think we hear screams of they’re not supporting our wokeness from the media properties that are very weak, that know they’re very weak, and this is the only thing they can talk about to get attention. It’s an act of desperation

The Last of Us is another decent example in my opinion.
that parks and rec sequel got dark!
I’m glad to see ron finally got away from the government.
That is a very good example. The gay love story by far was one of my favorite episodes of any tv show. It was so well done.
That’s the best TV episode ever made.
