High Guardian Spice, right? I just kinda roll my eyes at that, not because of "forced diversity", but because literally the only thing that they decided to present in their teaser is "Oh my gaaahd, the whole staff is so diverse, except for the writer's room which is all white females lol, and we're using vague buzzwords like 'heartwarming' and 'adventurous', but we're not gonna actually tell you much of anything about the show itself."

Generally, when the biggest talking point that someone has about their show or movie is "Diversity" or "LGBT rep", the product has a pretty good chance of not being that good. We'll see if the show actually turns out good, but I don't have my hopes up. They can say they're doing something that literally no one else has done and that everyone else has forgotten how to do, but that's really something you show instead of bragging about while panning some concept art across the screen and then showing more footage of the staff.

It's questionable how much of their profits CrunchyRoll actually puts toward supporting the anime industry, between how many different companies the anime they host come from, conventions, and funding an American-made cartoon that doesn't even have the excuse of "Well, it looks like anime."

They also don't really put all that much work or care into the subtitles they slap onto the subbed episodes, as the subtitles can contain typos and misspellings, be lazily added in parts where more than one thing is being translated (whether it be multiple characters speaking, text, etc), and/or just plain be awkwardly worded, and they don't bother to go back and fix them. There are people who put out subbed episodes on their own websites for free who fix and clean up CrunchyRoll's subtitles, so why watch subs on CrunchyRoll when there are people who do better subs?

And yeah, why exactly is their janky video player still Flash, when Flash is actually about to be terminated in two years?
