Feminist tropes, race swapping and generous handicap representation.
At least a few of the characters are awash in the modern feminist tropes of bumbling, clumsy men and powerful, one punch, savior type women. The show is damn good regardless, though, because of Gary Oldman. Guess which member of in the charming mixed race couple is killed off? Bye, bye whitey. Couldn't off his mate. She's the black, physically challenged one. In season two he is race swapped by a black male agent who's rather a simp in S03. By S03, the female agents of Slough House have morphed into alpha males with tits (yes, they are disgusting). Plus there is at least one other physically challenged character, I'm assuming in lieu of LGBTQ character injection which would serve no purpose in the story. They didn't artificially force trans-characters down our throats in this one at least.

Another good show infected by DEI ideology
I like the show but it hasn't escaped the Woke, DEI agenda any more than most shows. We've got a hispanic president of the US. And while the CIA is 71% white and 82% male, somehow there's and a black female CIA director, really? Finally we've got a female lead representing folks in the round demographic; Abbie Cornish. They've really managed to ensure the story is inclusive this season.

Secret Invasion
So, Beto is a skrull, and chooses to wear the skin of a black man in Russia with a population of 0.04% Afro Russian people? He won't stand out. And you can't have Marvel without most of the power positions being occupied by girl-bosses. Oh, and wait till you see the skrulls frolicking around their hidden community; just another innocent minority race being suppressed by "the man." Did you notice how G'iah's boss ordered her around with animosity? Yep, you can't have a white superior who isn't a bad guy.

Queen Cleopatra
Cleopatra was Greek. Look at Greek women. Are they black? No, they could pass for white. But in woke liberal Hollywood, it's fine to race swap any character as long as they are swapped for a person of color. Hollywood is full of pandering idiots doing whatever they think it takes to avoid cancellation by screaming woke leftists. But yeah, enjoy.

Everything Everywhere All at Once
Veiled woke messaging designed to show how life-changingly wonderful it is if conservatives would just accept LGBTQ lifestyles. Feminist / anti-feminist? aspects include how life revolves around the mother/wife with the husband first being an absolute beta-male simp who receives no respect or love until until he begins embodying stereotypical masculine qualities and can kung fu fight his way to victory.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
They've made all the men simps and the women into dominant male-like roles who must protect them because the men don't understand or can't handle the situation. The 2nd scene of the movie Scott has to bail his daughter out of jail. As he tries his gentlest to caution her, she and Hope (Evangeline Lilly who's lost all her sex appeal and looks like a flat chested lesbian bottom now) immediately belittle his concerns as mansplaining. Scott's daughter is suddenly a genius inventor like Stark. But yeah, what Marvel movie couldn't benefit from woke feminist ideology?
