When a company or individual uses the diversity, equity, and inclusion of a show as a shield against criticism.
The way it's done is simple. Create a movie or show and make the cast diverse as insurance. When the movie/show starts to flop, ignore all the sane criticism and cherry pick the most offensive tweets and pretend that it's the norm. Then proceed to blame the fans as toxic, racist, sexist, transphobic, etc.
Doing this gets you free publicity, and increases the reputation of your company with people who believe the narrative. You may also get more viewers who are curious about the controversy, or rabid supporters who then believe that watching the movie/show is a moral imperative for minority rights.
This basically ensures that even if the movie/show is bad, you will still get a return on the investment.

Get the Dei Shielding mug.Shielding is the refusal to post photos of your babies/kids on the Internet ie Facebook. The opposite of sharenting / oversharing . Shielding is the protection of the baby/kids right to privacy. In an era where parents are digitally documenting and excessively oversharing what should be private baby/kids photos on on social media websites such as Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat. And posting private details such as date of birth, favourite colour etc. Parents shielding are shielding their babys/kids from being on social media
By shielding, not sharenting, parents are shielding their babies/kids from identity fraud, a digital footprint, data mining, predators and the future meltdown of their now teenage offsprings reaction to their entire childhood from babyscan though to birth to school being digitally documented and posted on Facebook for the world to see.

"Ergh all the other mum's oversharing who don't give a fuck about their babies privacy. How is a baby supposed to consent to photos of themselves being constantly and excessively posted online daily. A kid is too young to understand the repercussions of their lives being posted online. I'm shielding mine from the Internet altogether!" - Daisy
