Dancing on the Edge

I'm really tired of people getting angry about something pushing an agenda when it's the same themes and ideas the story/series/movie has always had. I don't like it when people get pissed off that Star Trek has people of color on it or women in significant roles when that has been the case the whole time. I don't like it when they are upset when Star Trek (or other shows) slides that line just a little more to the left because that has always been what it did. That was one of the points of the show.

Don't be angry when the show/book/movie that pushed the envelope of acceptable society 10/20/30/40 years ago is still going to keep pushing now. If one of the points of the work was to dance on the line of what people would find acceptable, it's going to continue to do that, even if that line has moved beyond what you're comfortable with. In fact, that makes it better, as now you get to face what makes you uncomfortable and explore it. 

Push your filling against that piece of aluminum foil. 

Honestly, people need to stop this. It's like if the strip club has been a strip club for the last 40 years and you're suddenly screaming because someone put glitter on their tit and that must mean they're shoving their nipple agenda in your face. 

The titties have been here the whole time.
