This problem has always come across to me as just a marketing ploy gone awry. Some research and statistics must have shown that reboots and girl power have an audience. The statistical algorithm factored in the various hashtags, and decided that showing diversity will make the corporations money. And, since they don't really understand what's actually going on with any of it, the research algorithm probably showed that a common thread, the antagonist through it all was the toxic Caucasian male.
These movies and TV shows don't get any part of feminism right. They don't seem to understand what diversity means, as they're merely shifting the males away from the dominant roles, and replacing them with females: But the toxic, dominating role is still there. And, what's worse, men didn't even really play that role to start with; it's just the soulless statistical analysis that reached such a clueless conclusion.
Without a doubt, their statistics didn't lie about how some people would be into this sort of thing. A lot of people, it turns out. The Last Jedi has some serious, diehard fans for example. As long as their corporations keep making money, then they'll likely not question the veracity of their robotic statistical analysis. But they certainly aren't doing any favors to the various "movements" they seemingly support.
