    Two things happened:

    1. culture wars are at an all time high due to right wing lies and attempts to push everyone not like them back into a culture of fear and hiding. So they are more sensitive to stuff they would not have batted an eye over before.

    2. stories no longer have men controlling everything and having all the authority/adventures

      Also what happened is that things that where highly political and controversial at the time are now “normal” and so conservatives don’t see them as political anymore because the Overton window have shifted (for the most part), so now they attack the new “unthinkable” progressive “agendas”.
