Show creator: so here’s a witty, smart, well-thought character, with a rich background, complex past, and (s)he has lots of interesting quirks and skills…

Tumblr: YEAH, OKAY, BUT IS (S)HE TRANS? HOMOSEXUAL? POC?

Show creator: why does it ma~

Tumblr: BOOOOOOORING!!!!

Show creator: actually yes
Tumblr: this is their only defining characteristic and this show is now only for people represented by that quality if they also agree with me on every subject

Show creator: And they have some flaws/ or they’re a villain
Tumblr: This show is a homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynistic pile of crap and all it’s fans are crap too.  

Tumblr: *harasses and sends death threats to people over the show*

Show Creator: This is not why I made this show, I wanted to be inclusive and subversive but also make people happy, and this isn’t good, please stop it.

Tumblr: OMG So you like child porn and hate gay people!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The fact that every single one of these has happened exactly like this is really depressing.
