You like progressive movements insofar as they don't make you uncomfortable and refuse to disrupt the current social fabric and order, yes, we get it. This is not an uncommon opinion.

You're a progressive and yet you use the exact same terminology and arguing points, constantly, as a conservative. You whinge about SJWs, you keep referring to TV shows as 'family shows' to justify them leaving out politics that you think are unsuitable. You do not outline what politics you do consider suitable for family television. I'm interested, a little, in what that might entail. I've never, ever once seen you act in any way to suggest you might be progressive, except when you say something arbitrarily in the middle of a rant to prove that you are. Your entire time here has been complaining about science fiction you dislike, and the reason you dislike that science fiction is because of its progressive political content. The one time you haven't complained about too much social progressiveness and too much politics in a media property was when you were arguing that you didn't care about the conservative and transphobic politics of Cyberpunk 2077.

Minh, you don't need to be progressive. Oh, I would rather you be. I'll disagree with you on many a thing, if you aren't, and I certainly do already. But that's fine, man, I disagree with plenty of people. Whatever.

I just find it really hard to believe you're as progressive as you keep saying considering that you consider the mediocre and audience-friendly leftism of hugely popular science fiction franchises, in which the examples you provided boldly dared to criticise blatant racism, Brexit, and Donald Trump, extremist, literally extremist, that's the word you used, the word people use to describe terrorists who kill people for their ideologies, you used that word.
These are not extremist positions, Minh! They, like, actually super aren't!
