I mean, everyone loves to fear "cancel culture" or "political correctness" as a ravenous mob of keyboard warriors destroying geek culture, but practically speaking, that doesn't really happen. We can criticize problematic elements in media all we want but it normally takes either something really bad or a long, long pattern of problems before a series or creator suffers any kind of actual consequences.

I'd be more concerned about the writers fumbling the story by trying to pay lip service to justice movements without actually understanding the messages they're trying to support, but given how well they've tackled issues like prejudice in Zero-One and warmongering in Build, I'm not really worried about that either.

Mostly, all I'm worried about is the tantrum sexist fanboys are gonna throw if we ever actually get a female main rider.

I would think we get more shocked reactions to a main rider being female than anything else really.
