They don't like to see anyone represented who isn't them.

Why don't they ask Ben Shapiro to do movies about them? He probably got a big budget by now

They do. The movies always flop because they are trash.

As a gay dude, the character of Mr. Terrific existed in the later seasons of Arrow solely to be the gay character in the cast. His role on the superhero team was that of the tech guy, but this role significantly overlapped with the preexisting character of Felicity. The only personal storylines he had were extremely shallow and consisted entirely of dealing with his ex-husband and his boyfriend, both of which were barely characters.

That seems more like bad writing than "pandering"

Of course it's bad writing, but his only role in the show was for CW to say that the show had a gay character. That's pandering.

Unnecessary is a pretty pointless add on. Pandering on its own already conveys a negative connotation.

Id be more interested to hear someone outline what would be necessary pandering

No. That term has been used by many different people, for many different people, against many different people, and in many different occasions.

Oh, I did think of another example. This is one that a lot of left-leaning people also considered pandering.

Halo in the Young Justice show. At least in S3, they may have improved it in the next season ater they got some backlash. She's ostensibly non-binary, but she goes by feminine pronouns and this was only brought up once in one scene. She wears a hijab because it "feels right" but is very much not Muslim. She spends the entire season dating a boy except for one scene where she drunkenly kisses a girl; no big issue or plotline is made about her cheating on her boyfriend, so it seems like they threw that in there just so they could say she's bisexual.

It very, very much seemed like they wanted to score points for being progressive without doing the work to make those character traits a natural part of the story. Without spoiling it too much, this character exploring her faith would have been an interesting plotline and they just cut if off at the pass.
