I'd argue that particularly in the last blurb, stuff like grand theft auto and morally grey protagonists still exist, but something leading back to the first part is that pretty much everything is political, that's not just the "on the left" stuff media powers in the UK seem to love preaching now, it's everyone and for pretty much everything on the scale.
I'm not saying things don't get made because of people griping, that's one thing I very much disagree with a lot of the moaners on the right with, people are still more than free to create whatever they like, it just now involves either avoiding social media or having enough backbone to tell some people to piss off when they complain about it - Either choice tends to endear creators even more to me, personally.
I do miss when people just shared what they liked though, not get people to subscribe to their ideals like they are trying to get them made.
This is why I would say I hate ideals
I don't really think idealism is the problem, someone can be idealistic without being entitled and censorious, or evangelistic about their beliefs. It's an individual's personality the leads them to be a d*ckhead regardless of where they stand on the political spectrum. If you’re familiar with the political compass, it’s where someone sits on the Y axis, authoritarian to libertarian, that determines whether they think they have the right to tell others what to do, unconnected to the left-right X axis.
@AironicallyHuman personally I think the economic effect of SJWs/soccer moms/whoever is negligible, and massively overstated. There’s a reason they generally pick on already niche products and creators, because as a tiny minority they stand a larger chance of destroying an individual’s livelihood by spamming them with death threats over their tumblr fan art than they do say, taking down a multi-million dollar franchise like GTA. They are essentially just a pack of awful bullies, and while it’s unfortunate when anyone caves to them, when people prey on the weak that’s a more likely outcome. But they can be (and are) easily disregarded by anyone with a reasonably strong will. And like all attention seekers ignoring them completely is the best option. I might return to some of your other points later, you would post while I was in the middle of writing this reply.
As for Tommy, my dislike for him stems from his playing into a divisive blame-game which does not serve the interests of his fellow working class white people at all, namely setting them against their fellow working class brown people. The picture he paints, whether you believe that to be his intention (personally I do, ymmv) is one where Muslims are the problem for the white working class, rather than depravation and a leeching upper class who decided to outsource all their jobs for their own personal profit. Most Muslims, like most non-Muslim white people, are not abusive pedos, he doesn’t show such conviction looking into the abusive white pedos in the British establishment as he does working class Muslims because he sees the problem as being Muslims rather than pedo rapists, which while not necessarily
racist (a religion isn't a race as certainly should be open to criticism) is certainly discriminatory because he paints Muslims to be more likely to be pedo rapists than white people, which is bullsh*t. Again, an example of someone hitting down because it’s easier, I think. And he's aided and abetted in all this by people who have a vested interest in pushing that particular “Muslims are the villains” narrative due to their support for the idea of Israel as a Jewish supremacist ethnostate so they can continue to discriminate against/kill Muslims with relative impunity while the rest of the world just goes "Ah, so what, they're only Muslims". Which in turn plays directly into the hands of actual Islamic extremists who can point to people like him and say "Look, see, all the non-Muslims look down on you and hate you" to radicalise people.
