Pavlov's Racism
The Left have managed to weaponize criticism against their pet "diversity" agenda. Essentially it's Pavlov's Diversity for the majority of people, especially anytime it's utilized in the media, it prevents anyone from criticizing it lest they be called "racist", hence it's turned into Pavlov's Racism for those on the opposite side of the spectrum.
You can see it in effect everywhere.
1. Diversity stunt-casting.
2. Anyone who criticizes stunt-casting gets called racist.
3. People begrudgingly accept diversity stunt-casting to avoid being called racist.
Every time the diversity bell rings, everyone has to come eat from the Left's bowl of degeneracy, and anyone who doesn't gets called "racist".
We're seeing it in effect now with anyone who attempts to criticizes woefully miscast individuals in roles they don't deserve nor should have been cast in. The Batman is a perfect example of that.
Voice your opinion about not liking Kravitz as Catwoman? You get called a racist.
Maybe you don't like Kravitz as Catwoman but you also don't voice your opinion about it... well, now you're demarcated into the group who is classified as being "okay" with stunt-casting for diversity purposes. The silent majority.
It's not that you like it, but the bell rings, you eat from the bowl, and you avoid conflict.
This isn't just this way with media, though, it's this way with everything. The Left have politicized communication so much that most people avoid being critical of things they should be critical of, lest they get labeled a "Trump supporter", an "anti-vaxxer", or a "racist", some of which can cost you your job, your career, and ultimately your livelihood.
Using this tactic the Left (and the weak-willed, wafer-thin Right) have conveniently managed to round people up and force them to accept Pavlov's Diversity (the consumers), or succumbing to the effects of Pavlov's Racism (the attackers).
Expect a lot of people who don't like Kravitz in The Batman to end up being shut down or shut out of conversations if they criticize her in anyway, especially for a poor performance or not being sexy enough. The lockout tactic for the argument will be that everyone who doesn't like her is "racist".
Consider this post the canary in the coal mine, ahead of the movie's release.
