The thing is, progressivisim is a relentless march. What was once thought of as progressive is now either normal, or even "conservative". Take Star Trek TNG, for example. Back in the late 80s when it launched it was pretty radical on many fronts. Same with this, back in the 90s. But what happened is that what we grew up with (assuming most of this board are children of the 90s, as I am), is that we grew up with 90s progressivism, matured, and were left with that being the standard of what is "OK". But that didn't stop the "advancement" of progressivism, so for the current crop of progressives, if you have a single white, heterosexual dude anywhere (with the possible exception of being the villain) then it's not progressive enough. So we all look back on the culture we are comfortable with and look around us now and wonder WTF is going on.
