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.

"When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
There's a joy inside that his eyes can't quite conseal.
Everytime he heaves it with force so brute
He's in ecstasy and must change his suit
When Captain America throws his mighty shield."

Get the throws his mighty shield mug.A counter dibs shield is a defensive word to counter the attack of a counter dib, therefore, canceling out the counter dib.
(The counter dib shield does not have to be explicitly recited as "counter dib shield", it can also be recited as simply "counter dibs" at the same time someone else is calling a counter dib by saying the same thing.)
