Probably.
At one point, Yord mentions her mothers, so I wondered if it was that was part of it too. Female show runner, too, of course. I could probably delve into YouTube and see what's stirred the bigots up, but I'd rather not get depressed finding out.

Sadly you're right, I've watched the beginning of three different 'critiques' on YouTube, and all of their first points are summed up by 'oh no, it's multiple women in major roles'. And at least one of them didn't like that Amandla Stenberg is non-binary.

I for one like the first episode. Especially how they made clear that the politics and public perception of them is the jedi's utmost priority, which might help explain the downfall of the jedi order in the prequels.

There is nothing in the show that indicates the character is non-binary, which if it did fuck anyone who cares, but they are a freaking actor. Who they are in real life doesn't matter. Did they act well? Good fucking job, the end.

If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd never have known. Or thought to inquire.
