So I've been thinking a lot about 90s TV shows lately, especially after the latest "Star Trek" offering, and have seen many leftist touting the old 'but Star Trek was always progressive' lines and wondering why anyone right leaning would have liked them to begin with.
Star Trek was leftist(especially the first 2 seasons of ST:TNG where Gene had near dictatorial control), but in a far less nasty way.
I don't mind a writer giving a woke Aesop as long as they have the learn to actually write a good story, and don't package it like it is dropping an Anvil on your head. A Blackrock style woke show is different, it is filled with writers whose primary qualification is that they are woke, their secondary qualification is usually demographic based, and writing ability is only a nice-to-have.

I don't mind those, they at least also push the message that black people can be functional members of society on black kids as well as white. The thing that always seemed bad about them is that criminals in there were pretty much always white. I feel like Martin Lawrence's productions had black criminals at times, but always with a white partner.
There's this realization that I was effectively propagandized to in my youth
I sometimes think the heavy handed leftist propaganda I received in elementary school is part of the reason I ended up as conservative as I am. Some of the people I knew in adult life who I found out went to the same school(in different years, but within the time frame that it would have had the same principal) were among the most conservative young women I ever met.
