    If it makes sense in the plot for the characters to have and voice an opinion, or if it’s a cleverly written allegory, then that’s great. If they are just creating a character for the exclusive purpose of pushing an agenda (even one I agree with) it’s annoying.

    lol, and how often are they the former vs the latter?

      Kinda oddly, I see it done most organically in animation vs live action. Steven Universe is a good example of a show where alot of issues are addressed by main cast and not just a token LGBTQ character that dissappears after their 1 episode about tolerance.

      Examples of random, throw away, characters are harder to remember examples for as they are never important to the story.
