It might literally be the most diverse show on TV. Literally characters of every race playing major to minor roles. There's been multiple gay couples. Several multiracial couples and multiracial babies. Seems like the kind of thing that would get the PC crowd turgid as fuck but it never gets brought up. And it's the good kind of diverse as well. Identity politics hardly come up when you're fighting for your life every day so all the characters are just people, almost like real life...

regressives threw a fit when aaron was first introduced
they were shocked that a gay character from the comics was revealed in the show to be gay!!
i remember that brief outrage by totally not homophobic users who just "didnt want pandering" in the show
pandering being code for gay men

I like how they chained the bigot to the top of a building to die. That was pretty rad.

And all they did was create Cyborg Meryl.

It was about zombies for maybe one or two episodes.

I mean, I've enjoyed the hell out of every season since Alexandria. The world building they've done with the communiites coming together to remake some kind of society is exactly my kind of thing.

I value inclusion. I don't want this taken the wrong way. But the people who talk the loudest about diversity tend to enjoy virtue signalling more than they character about actual diversity or inclusion. If The Walking Dead isn't boasting about how good they are for having Black, Asian, and LGBTQ characters, they're not *really* being diverse.

For what it's worth, I did see one article praising the fact that literally all of the active couples (at the time of the article) were either interracial or same-sex.
