I'm almost certain that is more of a prominent trope in media than the "grizzled muscle-bound white guy" now

lesbian sheboons have the feminism, lgbt and race angle covered, seems a very convenient package. At least she isn't fat like the one in Peacemaker or a tranny but its too early to say.

Working class Marxists brush shoulders with a lot of the organised criminality that has infested modern trade unions, and are under no illusions just how petty, evil and corrupt the world is. There's absolutely no patience for overprivileged genderspecial twitter trannies larping as little Che Gueveras.

Erdogan, the president of Turkey wants to change its name to Türkiye because of the confusion with the bird. It makes no sense whatsoever though

Forget the part where the devs declared they were going to sanitize the humor, which means the game will likely turn into nothing but mean-spirited left-wing horseshit. This is clearly just about a Latina lesbian.

This was probably posted earlier in the thread, but thoughts on this?
Have we just become intolerant and the "villains" of stories that have "always been left-wing?"

Lol I have to laugh my ass off at this bullshit. All these batshit liberals who have suddenly decided to descend upon geek culture and co-opt it and try to make it like it was this horrible, intolerant space filled with bigots before they came in like the way hipsters think they discovered brooklyn.
I'm an old fuck so I was reading comics in the late 70s and 80s. One of my favorite Marvel comics in the 80s was called "Alpha Flight". It was actually about a Canadian superhero team. I was obsessed with that and collected it monthly. I remember it being the first time I saw an openly gay character in a comic. The superhero, Northstar, in Alpha Flight was openly gay. It really didn't make a ripple with me - it was just part of the comic. And this was the 80s. Hell, in the early 90s, when the Battle Angel Alita manga was released here, it featured a gay character as well (Alita's contact in Tiphares, who when confronted by a woman who accused him of stalking her, told her that he was a a "man's man" and had no interest in women). Again, there was no issue with it.
That little rant about how sci fi was always lefty and we're villians is complete bullshit. It's someone trying to create a solution and then make a problem for it. There has been controversial characters in sci fi and comics for decades and no one had an issue with it. Some batshit liberal claiming that all of a sudden we do, and we're the bad guys doesn't mean shit. It's no different about how batshit liberals whine that there's no strong female characters in sci-fi because cis white men can't handle strong women while simultaneously ignoring people like Ellen Ripley from Alien and Princess Leia.

Under Steven Harper, Chiefs were required to have their finances open so that any tribe member could submit a FOIA request to see where the finances were going. Under Trudeau, this was removed. Also under Trudeau, Canada is still allegedly committing genocide (even with the Pope going on an apology tour that most Natives don't even buy) but has never been hauled in front of the UN, mostly because he's best buds with the WEF and Davos lads.
Under Trudeau, most reserves still have a boil water advisory warning, and milk can be up to $15 in the Northwest territories. He has done nothing to adequately fix their situation or allow their more industrious members to actively invest in their communities. Several lawsuits were settled and some were given around $60,000 each (PL, had a family member from ex in laws who got it) but really the state of the reserves are pretty bad. The funniest thing about it is that they still blame it all on evil whitey, yet have nothing to say about 400,000 Third Worlders being imported every year.
Makes me wonder how their faith and way of life will survive under Sharia Law.
"Why does his race matter?" they ask the Vietnamese immigrant.
It matters because Leftists wanted that covered up as badly as the right wanted it covered up because of their BS policies. Leftists don't like illegals being rapists, because in their minds, they can only ever be victims.
Black Panther is about a sealed off, advanced African nation that could have protected other African nations from slavery but didn't, preferring its isolationist policies and superiority.
X-Men had a Jewish Holocaust survivor embrace the Nazi supremacist ideology but for mutants, believing that mutants, by nature of their powers, were superior and deserved to strike back against those who opposed them. It was a case of someone who endured unbelievably cruelty becoming the thing he swore to destroy. You see this during the conversation between Professor X and Lensherr in X Men First Class.
Star Trek was always about telling political stories - it wasn't about lecturing you. The series could appeal to all political sides, as it criticized all of them. Modern Star Trek wants to hammer you over the head with its bullshit politics and shittier characters.
Captain America represented the American ideal: to be for America. He wouldn't have supported America's world policing, the Vietnam War, or its interference with other countries. He wouldn't have punched Nazis in the first place had Japan not attacked America at all.
The Empire in Star Wars took over the floundering Republic that wanted to impose state taxes - YES this is a thing in the lore - and other unfair demands on the planetary systems. That's why the CIS - Confederacy of Independent Systems - emerged - for REPRESENTATION - and why they developed a droid army. The Jedi unironically were the imperialists in that fight, demanding that all of the planets were aligned with Coruscant politics. The Empire through Sidious wanted to undo the hurts of the Republic and silence the rebellious CIS, so they eliminated the CIS representatives on Mustafar (this was in Revenge of the Sith). The Empire was actually quite lenient for planets that were willing to be incorporated but didn't want too much overreach. It also allows any species and race to join their ranks vs the Clones, who were programmed to age at a quicker rate. Star Wars is not as cut-and-dry politically as you think it is. By the time the Rebel Alliance emerged, it was needed as the Empire had done what the Republic had: systemic overreach.
The Punisher is really about soldiers/those who were left behind by those they served. Cops or soldiers wear his insignia not because he IS pro cop/pro military, he is pro THOSE WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND.
Superman and the other Kryptonians are indeed immigrants but they assimilated and the one thing they wanted above all else was to return to Krypton if they could. General Zod in Zak Snyder's Man of Steel explicitly states that that is what he wanted to do.

"I definitely agree with the thing that how country itself says their name thats (sic) how it should be. Now because some english (sic) guy created name everyone need to use..."
Okay, then stop calling Zhongguo "China" and Nippon "Japan." Good luck calling them the "Nipponese," since many English speakers are under the impression that it's a racial slur thanks to World War 2.
I can't speak for much on this list, but my parents are Trekkies so fuck it: am I to believe that The Original Series, a show where Spock was forbidden from being red-skinned due to the monochrome televisions making him appear black, Kirk banging hot alien chicks left-and-right, and Uhura existing purely for sex appeal was all about racial equality and modern-day feminism? Or was it simply a science-fantasy adventure series where Kirk gets into fist-fights with costumed aliens on a cardboard set while Scotty bitches about dilithium crystals or some shit?

It's way too much effort for the payoff to pick this apart point by point. Not entirely sure what they mean by "X is about..." as it's just a bad way of articulating what they mean. X-Men is an allegory for certain issues like civil rights, it's about super-powered mutants fighting robots and shit. For the longest time, writers were concerned with wrapping up tangible plot points to do with said robots or whatever - not with narratively matching up against real-world events. Now though, I dunno.
I can easily tear the Superman one apart, though. The original incarnation of the character came from a weird mesh of influences, mainly Nietzsche's Ubermensch and the Jewish myth of the Golem. In the first iteration of the character, Superman was created by Lex Luthor, and the whole story mirrored a lot of elements from Frankenstein - Superman was plainly painted as an out-of-control villain.
By the time Action Comics came around, they flipped the roles of Lex Luthor/Superman and changed the origin story. So, it's really difficult to try and claim that the story is "about" immigration, when the writers didn't have that in mind at all when they first published. The origin story had to be changed to make him more of a heroic figure, rather than a cautionary tale about the hubris of man. If anything, the established origin story is essentially just a science-fiction version of a no-named Clint Eastwood type character arriving into town to fight the bad guys.

@Chandelier already touched on a bunch of these, but the most damning on this list is "Black Spider Man" (who has a name, Miles Morales).
Initially, Miles struggled with tokenization and hated it. The famous line from him was "I don't want to be Black Spiderman - I just want to be Spiderman". He didn't want to be celebrated for being Black, he wanted to be celebrated for his own merits as a person, an individual. Which you might note, is not how the modern writers approach it today - "Look how BLACK AND GAY THIS CHARACTER IS!!!!".
Stan Lee's superhero stories were all very simple - anyone can be a hero and it doesn't matter who you are (ex - black, gay, a literal alien, a skrull impersonating a real person, etc) but what you do that matters. People who post this kind of screed extremely miss the point because all they care about is who someone is (black, gay, etc) and not at all about what they do. This is how you get shit like George Floyd being treated as a saint simply because he was Black and died in a police altercation, although he actually died of a drug overdose and was a huge piece of shit.
Star Wars is also a horrible example because it is an really good example of modern politics. The "Separatists" are fighting the "Republic" across hundreds and thousands of worlds, but unbeknownst to both sides - both sides in the war are being controlled by the same person who is staging a show to get his own, actual forces, into place for a coup. That means every "heroic deed" anyone does (including every Jedi Knight) is completely pointless and that they're all just useful idiots for an extremely powerful person (in Star Wars - Palpatine, IRL it would be like a George Soros). The end of Episode 3 really highlights what happens to Useful Idiots when they're no longer useful. The main character (Anakin Skywalker) is fed lies and jerked around so much he basically becomes extremely radicalized to a point where he feels justified in executing literal children in the Jedi Academy, which you could probably get some twitter leftist to do in like a year of amping them up. Star Wars is also worth nothing that the super fascist empire still has a Galactic Senate (which isn't how fascism works) 10 years after Episode 3 ends - which really hurts the metaphor of "This is Nazi Germany". Leia's dad still works there for fuck's sake.
Superman and Supergirl (and any other alien hero for that matter) are technically immigrants - but they aren't a fucking gigantic drain on the system. The only way the metaphor would work in that case is if ~2,000,000 Kryptonians snuck into America each year and mostly committed violent crime (drug trade, human trafficking, gang violence, murder, and most recently the rape of a 10 year old girl) and were a huge drain on the system otherwise. No one hates immigrants for simply existing in the real world - we hate the negative effect they're having on our lives as a result.
The person who wrote this missed the point entirely, but even then is trying to stretch it out to "own" people - but that goes against their own idea of "value other people, cultures, and treasure the differences between us" which they literally wrote out. "Value other people" except vile right wing scum, apparently.
