Nah.

And then the author realises that everything in a movie is forced, every frame, every color, ever object, every word, every look, everything is forced into a picture.

BUT lets forget that, and judge movies on how many woman are in one frame...

It could be that there are a handful of people in Hollywood that control what we see and they only hire a handful of directors, actors and writers. They all follow formulas based on what sells the most tickets. There have been some really stupid reasons they have or haven't done something in movies over the years. So it's not a "social justice warrior" thing. It's a lack of talent maximize profits thing. Remember Star Trek was very controversial because of the Uhura and Kirk kiss. Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts were supposed to kiss in the Pelican Brief. But it was determined America couldn't handle their sweetheart being kissed by a black guy. So don't blame liberals, blame money.

They certainly are if any outcry spreads and affects decision-makers because many of these weak, selfish people don't want things they don't like to exist for others. Confederate on HBO an example, dumbass, thin-skinned, selfish people flipped out about fiction. Ruining? Probably not, but they can definitely weaken good, creative, interesting projects and even hinder them.
