Nah, this is serious. I've never seen something about "modern politics" in this discussion that isn't code for racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.

You’re not wrong that it is very frequently a code for bigots to pretend they’re not bigoted. Saying they’re don’t want modern politics in their media, while actually meaning they don’t want diversity or views that go against theirs.

But I think it’s fair to give the anon here who said they don’t want modern politics the benefit of the doubt. Because they could just as easily mean that they legitimately don’t want any kind of politics that remind them of the real world in their fantasy. It doesn’t ALWAYS have to be a code, just because of bad-faith assholes making it one elsewhere. This discussion was free of any transparent bigotry so far, at least as far as I’d seen, and was actually very pleasant to read. So I don’t see any reason to assume anon meant their comment about not wanting modern politics in their fantasy all the time to have ulterior motives.
