You can take a risk and make a bad movie. Just don't cry politics when people hate it because it sucks.

Sure, that happens all the time. A lot of new shows just pay lip service to political viewpoints and pick actors seemingly to check corporate boxes.

The Rings of Power is a recent example where almost every strong and noble character is either black or a woman or both. It serves no purpose in the story.

Watchmen was a rare example where they actually took on racial issues rather than just pay lip service to them.
