Why the scores diverge

Altered Carbon: Some characters appear designed to represent diverse identities, though they generally have narrative roles rather than feeling tokenistic.
Barbie: Several characters appear designed more to tick diversity boxes and represent political symbols than to serve the narrative organically, which disrupts character depth and coherence.
