This really goes back to the 90s or even farther back, but it’s become such a strong trope in modern entertainment that it’s comically consistent and predictable.

You are all probably aware of Chekhov’s gun: basically nothing visual is wasted in a play or show, so that if you see a gun in act one, you know it’s going to be used by act three.

Chekhov’s racist means that if someone says something racist or does anything mean to a woman, they will die a violent death within the next half hour of the show or movie. It’s to show audiences that being a racist and misogynist is bad!

Oddly in films, the lesbian always dies or has an unhappy ending

lesbians are kinda pissed off about this: https://whataboutdat.com/whats-new/2020/4/15/the-lesbian-unhappy-ending-problem

tbh lesbians are all miserable anyway and all they seem to hate each other, (although they hate men even more)

Isn't it weird how lesbians are like militant man-hating fatties with butch hair, but gay dudes love women, have impeccable grooming, and are flamboyant? Men are better at everything ... even being gay.

Why not make a show where the main character is the most antisemitic, islamophobic, racist, xenophobic, bigoted, transphobic, sexist, homophobic, etc. Character to ever exist.

The whole show is him being hateful and at the same time surviving what seems to be his entire multiverse attempting to kill him.

Not at first, the very genre of his universe shifts as god (the author) tries to do him in.

At first events seemed to be taking place to try and change his mind, but his worldview already accounted for the experiences intended to change his mind (showing a deal of prejudice and ignorance on the part of the author towards his character's position).

Then the author decides they want to serve him up sone humble pie, to humiliate him or make him come across badly to the audience, instead, the character wins the arguments and avoids his comeuppances with style, coming across as being intelligent, cool, and correct.

The next is the author inventing some sort of threat to put him in his place, but he overcomes it and now is seen as a hero for his heroics.

So instead, the author ups the ante, now aiming to kill him or worse, but the character shows how much of a Chad he is by beating each of the threats pitted against him with ease, and getting far stronger in the process.

Like a war between a game master trying to kill a player character he doesn't like, and the player who is decimating the game masters attempts to kill their character, the war rages on between the character and God.

As as it does so, the character becomes aware of what is truly happening outside his universe, he learns that he was once once real person in reality, placed into a fictional world against his will, this is the true origin for his beliefs and character, he gets pissed, vowing to escape the world of fiction and kill his god upon his escape.

The God, however, is shown to be the most pathetic thing ever, it's an obese child-molesting multiracial (the jews intended "homo universalis") transgender lesbian satanist who is the most irredeemably evil and unpleasant person you could possibly imagine, wealthy and entitled, also one of the most bitterly hateful people conceivable, hating the cisgendered, the heterosexual, the male, the white, the gentile, the western, the christian, etc. These kinds of thing are on its kill list, and while it's public image is presented as being positive and constructive it's actual mindset is deeply negative and obsessed with destruction (showing how evil people can hide their evil agendas behind a public relations focused false image of propaganda).

The author is obsessed with control, and especially the ability to control the minds of its audience, as the story progresses, we see how these techniques work and how they are implemented in the media you may see everyday.
