I checked the hashtag on this show's season finale and it seems geared towards the feminist crowd so it's not surprising they'll do their black male character that way.
I haven't been following the show as much lately. But, I have noticed in this show, and most others, have been using feminist buzzwords (like toxic masculinity). From a media/entertainment standpoint it's the equivalent of The Walking Dead. The writers/showrunners/executives found that zombies were popular, so you get "ZOMBIES" for about 5 to 7 years non-stop. Then people get sick of it, and move to the next big thing. The current big thing is feminist buzzwords and undertones/overtones. It happened before in the 80s with movies like 9 to 5, tootsie, working girl, etc. Then it fades away. So, I believe the writers and executives are trying to do everything to maintain relevancy to keep the show going (Much like how feminism co-opts the plight of truly suffering people, while speaking over/for them, and then dogging them out when they are done with them). So, the reality is, that most every show will have some aspect of this crap for maybe 2 or 3 more years, and then we will move on to the next big thing. Like all social justice stuff, it becomes "passe" to the mainstream. It has even happened to our attempts at social justice (often times when bw take the helm and run our movements into the ground. See BP party).
In regards to feminism and #metoo in our shows and media, Dave Chappelle made a solid point. I am paraphrasing a bit, but he said, that they have people scared now. He referenced the support Ben Affleck gave, and how the feminists flipped out on him for grabbing a breast at spring break in the 90s (of course, ole Ben backed out). So, they take their frustrations out on their enemies and allies, and expect to have completely perfect allies (which is impossible, because they aren't perfect and have skeletons in their closets as well, see Asia Argento). Dave said, that there always comes a point where people are no longer afraid. And When they are no longer afraid, things get worse, much worse. And it seems as though we may be on track for that. My guess is that it will involve these young sensitive (nothing wrong with that) young men, discussing their feelings about what they have dealt with at the hands of women and the tables start turning.
Therefore, expect to see a change in the narrative and the overall dialogue of shows in the next 2 or 3 years. Until then, we are stuck with this shit.
Side Note: It's kind of already started, between free bleeding, menstrual cookies, the term "white feminism", and more recently the resurgence of "feminist empowered" Witchcraft.
