This is a huge turnoff for me.

I enjoyed "The OA" and "Snowpiercer", I really enjoyed "Devs" and "Watchmen". I don't mind female characters. I don't mind non-white characters and I don't mind non-straight characters.

But I get really annoyed when they seemingly shove those things in my face just because "yay diversity!".

Have the main character be gay or black or whatever, but if it's not relevant to the story, just treat it like a matter of fact and have them act like real people.
