I really want a world where we can safely set up characters for moments of failure, evil, etc, without large crowds either feeling offended, feigning offense, or worse, taking it as validation of their bigotry.

Yes, the world would be much better without racism, sexism, etc. That's why we resist.

I don't know if resistance should be restricting creative freedom to the point where every character MUST be considered a representation of millions of people.

That's less equality and more just a new form of racially-based control.
