I know I’m not the only one that has heard this. I get comic book and Sci-fi/fantasy writers probably lean left for the most part but I seem to remember liberals of the past being big on free speech and against censorship. Also I’ve heard SJWs complain about the original Star Trek because they had moved beyond race and you know everything today has to talk about race.
Stan Lee and Kirby are white males so they wouldn’t last today and on and on.
So what is a good response to this?
"Progressive" is a context-sensitive label. Today's progressive is whoever thinks yesterday's progressive didn't go far enough:
"Yes, they judged men by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin, but they were homophobes who didn't support same-sex marriage!"
"Yes, they passed laws allowing same-sex marriage but they were transphobes who didn't support taxpayer-funded sexual reassignment surgery!"
"Yes, they supported taxpayer-funded sexual reassignment surgery, but they were pedophobes who didn't support a child's right to consent!"
"Yes, they judged men by the content of their character and not the colour of their skin, but they were homophobes who didn't support same-sex marriage!"
Well... they thought negroes were weeds, first. Amazing how that's glossed over these days. Hitler and Mussolini were Progressives.
Scary because i fear that may be the next thing
Your fears are correct, it is absolutely what many of the leftists truly desire.
They already started that disgusting shit by calling pedophiles as Minor Attracted Persons.
This evil must be crushed wholly.
That's why TERF reeeeeing is such sweet music to my soul.
