We're all used to the obvious rot and see it every day; Advil's Black Pain Equity campaign, pronoun sections on corporate meeting software, "safe injection sites" funded by municipal governments being a hot bed for drug abuse. That stuff is so brazen that anybody with a brain and without an agenda will be repelled immediately.
But what about the subtle rot? I'll use the Onion as an example. Perhaps its a bad example since they are a good showing of obvious rot, but I just learned that they purged their old African-American neighborhood terrorized by ask murderer headline and it happened with no fanfare at all. A slow purging of old material deemed ungood; a memory holing except for the fact that the Onion used to be printed on paper and people just took pictures of the old headline. But the point stands -- I had no idea it was purged until I deliberately went looking for it, and its the only old "edgy" Onion headline that appears to have been purged in this fashion.
What else have others observed?
People that think tropes = bad, having nothing to say when the race/ gender of the parties involved in the trope swap or otherwise change.
White Men being pigeonholed into joke characters (NOT comedic relief characters) or villains
Refusal to allow non-white or women characters to overcome any legitimate hardship
Offensive comedy only allowed to be offensive in one direction
Increasingly passive-aggressive language being used by companies and organizations
Industries turning from apathetic to outright antagonistic and hostile towards their customer base.
Videogames don't cause violence but do cause these other activities
Tropes and stereotypes exist for a reason. Much like face eating leopards, that will eat your face, there's a reason you don't french big cats.
There are no bad leopards, only bad owners!!!!!
Leopards are a nanny cat.
I would much sooner trust a leopard than a pitbull lmao.
