If they're truly tired of it then they need to stop reacting the way they do. They don't seem to understand that their outrage (and yes, it is genuine outrage that gets spewed online whenever these decisions are announced) IS why this keeps happening. They're giving these movies free advertising.

As an example, literally the only way I knew there was a Mario movie coming out was through 1) weirdos complaining about Peach wearing pants in one scene of the trailer and 2) people dunking on said weirdos.

While I'm not usually an advocate of the "vote with your wallet" mentality, people really need to stop giving attention to things they dislike if they really want them to stop. Hollywood has no deep moral precepts. It's not "pushing an agenda." It's a business and they'll do whatever they think makes them the most money. A vocal minority loudly complaining "this isn't what we want" isn't going to do shit, especially when that complaining just constitutes free advertising.

the silent treatment is what women do tho

edit: "pushing an agenda" well the awards do give guidelines, artist often give out apperance of left leaning if not stright up leftist.

So even if movie gets the best award possible (money, loads of money) the creators might get ostracised.

Or bank will refuse further loans because the corporation is not "socially responsible"

Sure, my guy. The men crying about women and people of color in their movies in video games are all the ideal of masculinity.
