"I’m so sick of things that aim to be progressive accidentally screwing it up by introducing a whole litany of other problematic issues."

When it comes to the post-Hickman era I'm not so sure there was any 'aim to be progressive' so much as 'part the progressively-minded readers from their money while promoting modern-day colonial/fascist cult tactics under a 'Progressive' banner'.

The problematic issues are a feature, not a bug.
