The key being here for Kylo and Luke, the Last Jedi was an FU to the people who wanted it to just be about family feuds. Neither Kylo and Luke got closure from the conflict. The big climatic reveal was that Rey was a nobody and her power wasn't just hereditary. It turned the narrative of the conflict focusing on individuals/families to it being about forces bigger than all of them and their family history.
But of course people complained about that then turned around and complained about Rey being a Palpatine then getting paired with a Skywalker(Kylo). That was disney's way of saying here's the family drama/destined bloodlines plot point you people wanted so bad.
It's fine to dislike TLJ but to ignore it was trying to do something different then getting angry at the results of it backtracking and pandering to fans is being disingenous.

Rumors are circulating again about Keke Palmer being considered to play Rogue. I'm torn on this because I'd love for it to happen and think she'd be perfect! But I also don't want her to suffer the harassment she's sure to receive smh

While I am certain that Keke would do a great job, wouldn't racebending Rogue make her a Jezebel stereotype? Unless they want to tone down the flirting/"Ah have ta' make out with people to copy their powahs" thing too, It's disney, so they might. Do these people not know that there are other black female mutants besides Storm? Monet is right there, she's just bougie.
While I agree they could use more of the actual POC mutants, that won't really fly with the start of a live action team. They'll want to start with the most recognizable names. And it's not like if they sub Rogue for Monet, the same "anti-woke" people won't be calling her a diversity hire.
As for the Rogue rumor, I don't think there's any reason to race-bend Rogue at all.
There are a few black female mutants to choose from if Marvel want to go that route.
M, Threnody (that's a character we haven't seen in a while), Frenzy, Oya, Cecilia Reyes, Shard, Bling, and Storm are all there.
(That being said, after listing them, it just struck me that there aren't actually that many black mutants overall).
EDIT: Is Blink black?
