Dykeflector Shield 

The deliberate inclusion of POC, LGBTQ+, or other minority actors into a movie or TV production that is badly made, in order to protect that production from the legitimate criticism it will inevitably receive.

Deflector shield 

In Sci-Fi, most notably Star Wars, deflector shields are energy fields that could protect starships, battle stations, ground-based structures, and even armies from enemy assault. (Wookieepedia).
The term may also be used as a substitute for the word "condom".
