Like, think about it
What if someone comes up with a very good idea for a character
"Let's make a Monkey King type of character! " (let's ignore for a moment that MK is very overused and I don't want it, it's just an example)
And everyone really likes that idea
But then the Blizzard executives comes and say "this is a real good idea! but I have to shut it down. We don't have enough represantive for old people. So try to make that new character a crazy old professor instead"

Now granted, that old professor can be a very good and unique character too, but the original idea was shut down because of this and I am not a fan of this

you're imagining a creative team getting shut down by someone outside the team using this tool

if you have unrelated management coming down to stifle the creative team, that's a different problem. i guarantee you that these creative teams already care about diversity, but if it were to be forced from up top they wouldn't need a tool like this

what i think is, more likely, you have a group of people trying to brainstorm and they all have tons of creativity. they're a creative team. they have the confidence to create anything they want, and they start pulling stuff out of a hat to decide where to start brainstorming. this tool is just another hat to take into consideration

i'm honestly kind of curious as to why these things make you so alarmed
