It’s really fuckin weird how hard geeks conflate “political correctness” with “censorship” when the worst censorship to ever happen to their culture - the comics code - came entirely from an un-PC mindset.

The comics code was anti-feminism and created rules against the portrayal of strong, independent women. The comics code was extremely anti-gay, allowing the portrayal of gay characters only if it was a cautionary tale about the “evils” of their lifestyle. The comics code authority was anti-diversity and attacked a publisher for showing a black man as an astronaut.

The comics code was born from a right-wing fear of progressive, liberal “hippie” values. It was the logical conclusion of what’s known today as the anti-social-justice mentality.
