1: When an already established IP is purposely distorted to appease certain groups of people in the name of inclusion and diversity while disregarding the original properties lore.

2: When a character's Race, Sex, Sexuality, or identity is changed from the already established IP.

3: Forced diversity is usually solely applied to popular IP to insert groups that weren't a part of the medium ( this is often done poorly) Usually, the lore and story are put secondary behind the diversity and inclusion agenda.
Disney's upcoming little mermaid film will feature a race swap, Ariel despite her being a redhead caucasian for decades. forced diversity plagues American media making it unbearably to watch.

When someone is included for no other reason than to please the woke brigade.
Film Director: "This film about the history of Eskimos just isn't diverse enough. Get the casting agent to find a few black lesbians, and we'll create a storyline for them."

Film Producer: "But wouldn't that be, like, forced diversity?"

Film Director: "Who cares, the liberals will love it, and we'll be eligible for Oscar nominations next year".

The method SJWs used to relieve their white guilt. Sometimes it just means no male, as SJWs are just a bunch of delusional white girls with mental health and daddy issues.
The reason of Ghostbusters sucks is the result of both forced diversity and an actually bad story.

A term used when major companies change the race, sexuality or gender of characters in already established IP’s, or in historical events, of which are decades old and is unnecessary, and (usually) do not add any value to the material.

Almost always changing white characters to black, straight characters to gay characters, or gender swapping characters.

Never used in a genuine inclusive way as presented and almost always used to put more money in the pockets of large businesses by attempting to appeal to the “woke” demographic. Sometimes changes the entire point of the original story or the outcome of a historical event in an attempt to further appeal to the “woke” audience.

When this term is brought up, “woke” people will often call you racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, or transphobic.
Business 1: “let’s make a movie about Thomas Edison but he’s black and a girl, and let’s change the lesson of the story to be about women’s empowerment.”

“Woke” viewers: “This is amazing and absolutely the right decision to make! 10/10 movie.”

Business 2: “Let’s make a movie about Martin Luther King Jr. but let’s make him white and make the lesson of the movie about men’s mental health.”

“Woke” viewers: “You can’t do that! You are racist and misogynistic!”

Person 1: “I don’t like that they made Ariel from The Little Mermaid black, it was unnecessary and seems like forced diversity to me.”

“Woke” person 2: “You are racist for not liking the fact that she is black, I am going to cancel you on Twitter!”

EVERY movie, tv show, or game that dares to feature any major or even supporting character that is dark-skinned, female, lesbian or gay immediately triggers the internet man-babies into foam-at-the-mouth butt-hurt ravings about how they are being oppressed by being forced to look at someone who isn't just like them. Their viewing or gaming experience is just ruined by all this "SJW woke leftist agenda brainwashing" to force them to acknowledge others.

Is there a movie, game or show with a strong woman as protagonist? Feminist propaganda!! Where a white man does something bad or is just a shitty person in general? Misandry!! Is a black person playing a hero? Oh please, Hollywood, I'm on to your game!! Like black people exist! Is a woman character skilled in martial arts or any other type of hand-to-hand combat who maybe even kicks a man's ass once or twice? THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN women are far too fragile to beat up any man!! They can bitch and moan for days on end about this shit, because just like everything else that exists in this world, they think the film industry belongs to them and any other group has no right to it. Apparently only white males should act in movies or shows and they are going to shit themselves in rage every time they watch anything until Hollywood gives in to their demands and stops "forcing" them to acknowledge or accept diversity! They're mentally ill man-babies and should be ignored forever. Too bad they never shut up.
Forced Diversity - A term used by whiny bitch men to express their outrage at other people living on their planet.

Man-baby - "So the trailer for the Game of Thrones spinoff dropped yesterday. I was looking forward to the show but then I noticed there's a black Targaryen in it and now I know it's gonna suck ass. I'll just never be able to enjoy the story now. Stop putting black people in my shows, Hollywood!"
