1. is quality dropping? my experience is that things vary in quality in the same spectrum as before, and there is an interest for anti-diversity people to affirm that quality is down because they perceive it as a valid complaint against diversity whereas before they would not be concerned about the same level of quality
2. diversity is not a blocker, if there are problems that lead the end result not being as good as it could be, it's not diversity that is causing them and stopping diversity would not resolve them, any reasonable team would manage both things at the same time, it's unreasonable to say for example "we should stop hiring black/trans/women until John Doe gets his business in order and learns how to write his tickets" or something to that effect
3. diversity is more important than quality

What boggles my mind is that a Real Example of Good Diversity that is Not Forced and is High Quality exists, specifically in gaming spaces. The Last of Us 2 is practically a chud-nightmare of alphabet people and racial diversity.

But it all *feels* pretty natural and hangs together extremely well. Aside from all the murder and dismemberment, these characters interact with each otehr in ways that are familiar to me in real life. There’s a reason that it—generally—is an extremely well-regarded game across all gamer spaces.

There is nothing wrong to point at an example like that and say: “why not aim for that quality, all the time?” 

But if you bring that game up on Era, it’s just “Druckmann is a dirty Jew, and Isaac and Nora’s deaths are an endorsement of black genocide”.
