It decreases the likelihood of such a creation, yes. I literally give the reasoning for said belief in a part of my post you conveniently cut out. Let me post the whole thing again so you can give it another try.

Many writers and directors openly say that it was the lack of something that encouraged them to pursue what they did in film.

Note that I'm not referring to characters like John Stewart (the best Green Lantern) or various versions of Spider-man because they are different characters with the same title.

You're still wrong.

I'm going to use an example of Captain America. Having Sam be captain america isnt replacing a white captain america and we dont need a new captain america.

It's a title and it shows that ANY person can be captain america. Like spiderman, like the little mermaid, like the flash, like any other super hero.

It shows that any person of any race can be that character. The reason that movies like Encanto, Raya, Shang Chi, Black Panther, Little Mermaid matter is because it shows young kids that you're equal. Maybe in the real world there's still racism but letting the kids dream bigger and forget about that stuff helps in the long run. It's why there's so much more tolerance in the world today.

Maybe its not 100% gone but every little step in the right direction helps.
