You are far worse than the people you are claiming to act against.
Lots of people can feel something is a problem and struggle to articulate it. So you have to take people on a case by case basis.
OP talks about how they feel diverse characters are shoe horned in or badly written. Ask them to provide an example.
When they can't, then call them out. They are a bigot and deserve scorn.
If they can provide an example, help them understand the issue and use appropriate language.
Calling someone out who genuinely feels there is a problem doesn't stop them feeling there is a problem. These people will go looking for some who acknowledges their feelings.
Which is how you make a bigot
"It's your fault that bigot's a bigot, because you called out their bigoted feelings. All they did was articulate how black people in a video game was a conspiracy! Why didn't you ask for more examples of their wackaloon thinking?!"
Fuck off.
