As regressive leftist ideologies have roots that go as far back a century to the neo-Marxist concept of critical theory, I was wondering about early examples of regressive leftist bullshit.
The earliest manifestation of the early regressive left I can think of was with late 80's-90's third wave feminism, with notable victims in the games industry including the Leisure Suit Larry series and Duke Nukem 3D, which in the case of Duke 3D likely cost 3DRealms sales.
Some other examples include the Resident Evil 5 black enemy drama, the false claims of ableism against Derpy Hooves, the Penny Arcade dickwolves drama, early ComicsGate, and the takeover and subsequent destruction of the atheist community by the Regressive Left.
Can you suggest any others I did not cover?
Removing people without teaching degrees from teaching in the 70s. Used to have people teach as a side job, while working in the private sector as their main. Now you only have teachers who have spent their entire lives in academia, who themselves were taught by people who spent their entire lives in academia.
Yeah, this. This is the scary truth.
