Also to my (admittedly limited) knowledge you have mentioned 0 women of color, and also 0 trans/non-binary/genderqueer people unless we make specific reference to never-cis genderbend fics, and furthermore none of the ships you mention are femslash.
I think these are more "general society problems to which media fandom is far from immune" than "media fandom problems", but like, if I had seen Iron Man back when it was the sum total of MCU? Tony/Rhodey is not merely the obvious m/m to ship but (if we rule Stane out bc my various squicks and triggers) the ONLY m/m to ship! AND YET
