Agreed. I think the actual problem people have is that it's not just placeholder characters. They have depth and motivations and yeah, they're normal people, whether you like it or not. They're not there as token representation or to push a specific plot point. They just are. It's like star trek has moved on from showcasing how humanity could be different overall, to showcasing how things could be different for individual people if other people would just stop being dicks about every little thing. They don't have to push as hard, but there's more depth to the representation.
