It is interesting to me how white writers will take a premise from something that has happened, is happening right now, to thousands of marginalized people in this country and make the subject of the premise a straight white guy. Thousands of marginalized people have had their careers, relationships, and even their lives "canceled" by public perception of them as harmful to the nation, or women, and children somehow, but it seems the only way audiences can get close to understanding the point of the story is if the writers make it happen to a an innocent, boring, straight, white guy.

I guess the criticism of cancel culture would hit just a little too close to home if the character was Black, gay, a recent immigrant from Mexico, or...waitaminute, transgender!
