The DEI shit you're talking about is the bump in the road, which is magnified by COVID-era inflation and cost increases. And yes, it's a bump in the road, because it's nothing but a stupid fad that we always get over. IT's no worse than the parental groups from the 80s and then all the stupid educational shit from the 90s and 00s.
If anything, fads like Funko trash hit us worse. See also the hipstershit fad from the late 00s, like pic related. Unlike the Star Wars sequels, trash like this affected multiple properties, all stores tried to jump on the hype train, and we're still seeing the ramifications from toy stores switching their entire business model to carry this shit. They'll eventually change, if they don't go out of business...
Whereas the early 20s cost increases is the NEW normal and there's no going back.
