Fair for Its Day	comment	This trope concerns itself with things from the past that seem like a huge load of Values Dissonance. They may be laden with, say, a Rose-Tinted Narrative or a Historical Hero or Villain Upgrade. Only... it turns out it was comparatively Fair for its Day. Maybe the Historical Hero Upgrade or Historical Villain Upgrade wasn't that unfair a reflection on the person's views. Maybe the Rose-Tinted Narrative just wasn't rose-tinted enough for its original audience. Maybe it was even ripped apart in its own time for being downright insurrectionist and was brave to go as far as it did. This doesn't automatically make the work immune to criticism: something less dissonant than its contemporaries can still be pretty darn dissonant. Oftentimes, though, a little research will show that something cringe-worthy or laughable today is also something worthy of applause for what it stood for, and the context can be important in interpreting the work at large. Authors often work under a system of rigid censorship that decrees even mild criticism of the status quo to be going too far, even in enlightened democracies. Attempting to argue for modern values would have really been pushing your luck. (In other words, here Failure Was the Only Option.) A work that's only a little culturally subversive is more likely to escape censorship and earn public acclaim than one that goes all the way, thus ensuring its relevance - or at least survival - into the present day. (For an ironic counterpoint, consider Crosses the Line Twice, which is when one has to go all the way to get away with being offensive.) Please remember that this trope does not mean "surprisingly enlightened for its time period." It means "more enlightened for its time period", which is not necessarily the same thing. If a vintage work has a message that comfortably fits modern audiences, that's Values Resonance. To qualify for Fair For Its Day, a vintage work must have negative cultural traits as well as positive ones. Contrast Rule-Abiding Rebel. Innocent Bigot and Racist Grandma are related tropes. Executive Meddling and Lowest Common Denominator may also play roles if unprejudiced creators are forced to pander to widespread prejudices among the public. The same principle applied to innovation in fictional works is Once Original, Now Common. Ironically, a clear counterpart to You Are a Credit to Your Race, the utterance of which was fair for its day. Examples more recent than 15 years ago are not allowed.

Fair for Its Day / int_12fac4c	comment	When purist fans talk about pro wrestling history, they tend to overlook (or more likely ignore) GLOW completely, with the GonzÃ¡lez sisters, The Crush Gals, and the Thunder Queens being looked upon today with disdain. In fact, if a female wrestler in the 1980s was nationally known, she was probably working for GLOW. And despite the organization proving that women could carry a show (even if a was just a camp show), there were no other successful attempts to broadcast women's wrestling until TNA's Knockouts Knockdown, about 30 years after GLOW ended.

Fair for Its Day / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½ has a... complex relationship with the LGBT community. There are a lot of casually transphobic and homophobic elements thrown around; Ranma's Sex Shifter status is often invoked as making him perverse, guys hitting on or trying to sexually molest Ranma in his female form is played for laughs, and lesbians are explicitly described as perverse at least twice. There's also the central gag that Akane is explicitly engaged to Ranma under the logic that since she Does Not Like Men (due to a recent campaign of sexual harrassment), she must obviously be a lesbian. However, the series also shows most people as simply not caring about Ranma's curse once it is explained to them and treating him normally, including always referring to him by his preferred pronouns regardless of his physical gender at the moment, Ranma and Akane receive no negative commentary for their perceived pseudo-lesbian relationship, and Ranma's desperate drive to be cured of Jusenkyo resonates with some transsexuals in regards to their struggle to achieve their true gender. The series has even developed a Misaimed Fandom that idolizes Jusenkyo as a form of wish fulfilment, and/or who champion Ranma as a transgirl — ironically, even though the canon is that Ranma despises turning into a girl and his greatest wish is to remain all male, permanently.

Fair for Its Day / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is routinely criticized for its lack of depth in the romance. But when the film was made, it was an improvement over the original fairy tale, where the prince only comes in as a Deus ex Machina at the end. At least here the prince appears much earlier in the story and has some reason to look for Snow White. He was meant to have a larger role in the film (being tormented by the Queen) but the Disney animators weren't good at drawing a convincing human male yet. Cinderella is often panned by people nowadays because people believe its title character is a passive and submissive heroine who does nothing except wait for a man to rescue her, and who didn't directly rebel against her stepfamily's abuses. However, this is mostly a misconception, and her character was considered progressive compared to her contemporaries. Cinderella didn't wait for people to rescue her to the degree most people commonly believe. Cinderella's patience and dreams are what gave her determination to fight for the happiness and freedom that her stepfamily denied her, taking advantage of opportunities to do so despite her stepfamily's wishes and openly expressing her contempt for them. Also, Cinderella never once mentions waiting or praying for a man or prince to come to rescue her. In fact, she doesn't know she's dancing with the Prince at the ball until told later. She also isn't nearly as passive as everyone thinks - on multiple occasions she attempts to speak up for herself, sasses back, and is interrupted from punishing the cat by a messenger at the door. Again, Cinderella makes the most of opportunities and takes risks to earn her happiness and freedom, including winning over the Prince, the only person that Cinderella has had a happy interaction with since her father died. To quote Walt Disney himself: Sleeping Beauty: Sleeping Beauty has a rather flat love storyline between the prince and princess. They just meet in the forest and fall in love in a matter of seconds because they met "once upon a dream". But at the time, the previous two Disney Princesses (Snow White and Cinderella) had even less developed love interests — they functioned simply to marry the princess and whisk her away to a better life. Aurora meeting her prince and getting to talk to him properly was fairly progressive for Disney at the time. It was also the first time a Disney Prince functioned as an actual character — Philip (note: the first prince with a name) has to fight for his happy ending instead of just showing up at the end. Also worth noting is that Aurora doesn't just immediately swoon into the guy's arms. She makes arrangements to get to know him properly later — not in the forest, but her home with her 'aunts' present. It can be argued that neither Aurora nor the prince is the main protagonist. That honor goes to the three good fairies who are portrayed as competent women and prove necessary help for the Prince. The antagonist is also female meaning that most of the film is driven by women which is rather feminist for the time. The crows in Dumbo are often accused of acting like stereotypical black people, and their leader is even named Jim Crow in the script. But on the other hand, their antics portray them as being incredibly clever, and they prove to be some of the nicer characters in the film when they teach Dumbo how to fly. In fact, they are the only characters, other than his mother and Timothy, who treat Dumbo well. Also, most of them (except for their leader) were voiced by African American singers. Aladdin was seen at a time when there wasnâ€™t much Middle-Eastern representation in Western media and was praised for portraying them as regular people and not mindless barbarians. However, these days, it is scrutinized for taking a lot of liberties with a region that continues to be marginalized in many places to this day, and, outside of Aladdin and Jasmine, typically get portrayed as ugly people with stereotypical Middle-Eastern features and accents. The fact that all of the voice actors are white also adds issue. The portrayal of the Native Americans in Peter Pan. Despite being very offensive ("What made the red man red?") by today's standards, in The '50s, it was actually one of the more positive portrayals of Native Americans, depicting them not only trouncing the Lost Boys in combat but also having Tiger Lily refusing to betray Peter's hideout. It's seen as an Old Shame by Disney, with contemporaries saying they would not have done it like that if they were making the movie today. However, part of this is due to the source material - which was even more offensive. Reasons like this are why other adaptations try to handle the "Natives" better. Peter and the Starcatchers replaces them with a fictional Polynesian tribe, the Mollusk tribe, who were former slaves of a group of English pirates (which also handily explains how they can communicate with the Lost Boys and why they hate the English). Pocahontas: is also a good example. As pointed out here, despite the glaring inaccuracies and stereotyped Native characters, the central protagonist is still Pocahontas — who's a Native American female, voiced by Irene Bedard, a Native American actress. She also has personal motivations and life goals that don't involve getting married, and she doesn't end up as a Trophy Wife for the colonist John Smith. Considering the lack of representation Native Americans still suffer from in Western mainstream films — especially with the whitewashing controversy over Tiger Lily in Pan — that is saying something.

This was big at the time, however, as she was one of the first playable human female main characters. Plus, due to technical limitations — such as the NES' resolution, which made it somewhat difficult to draw anything identifiably — there were very few ways to convey this idea.

Fair for Its Day / int_2578cd4e	comment	The female wrestler Sable is less-than-fondly remembered nowadays. She had no training, was in the ring to provide Fanservice, and had it written into her contract that she couldn't be bumped by anyone. Despite this, she was a woman who gained popularity and warranted a star push in her own right — she wasn't just a valet to man. She codified the Smurfette Breakout in wrestling and resurrected the women's division single-handedly. What's more, Sable was presented as a woman who would stand up for herself and fight for what she believed innote And killing her husband's career in the process, which is what most people in the business see as her legacy. Her former husband, not her current one, that is, even if she might have had trouble doing so outside of Kayfabe (which was irrelevant). In the PG Era when many Divas are forced to go through Chickification or behave like a Damsel in Distress, this is significant.

Fair for Its Day / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: The 1990 episode "Simpson And Delilah" featured a character named Karl who kisses Homer and pats him on the butt, but whose sexuality is not officially confirmed. Nowadays, Karl would be derided as an example of queerbaiting, since Matt Groening never made any official statement on the issue. However, Karl is depicted as an incredibly loyal, helpful, and self-sacrificing assistant to Homer, and his kiss isn't done for a cheap joke, but is taken as a sign of how much Karl cares for Homer. Which is pretty remarkable considering the episode aired in 1990, when Ambiguously Gay characters had yet to gain recognition in any American media, animation or otherwise. When it first aired in 1997, the episode "Homer's Phobia" delivered what was considered a largely positive view of gay people, with the message that gays should be accepted as human beings. However, viewed today, that same episode can come across as offensive for its stereotypical depiction of gays (though the Aesop of "Gay folks are no better or worse than straight folks and don't always follow the camp or overly macho stereotype" is a good message that needs to be taken to heart). The 1992 episode "Homer the Heretic" was once praised for its sympathetic treatment of non-traditional spirituality, but it's now occasionally criticized for copping out on its message by having Homer go back to church at the end. For its time, though, it was remarkably open-minded in its frank discussion of organized religion, pointing out that adhering to religious rituals isn't necessarily for everyone, and that people can practice their spiritual beliefs in all sorts of ways. And like many Simpsons episodes, it was quite adamant about showing Springfield as a multi-cultural town of many different faiths, favorably depicting Krusty's Jewish faith and Apu's Hindu faith alongside the Protestant Christian Simpsons. The character of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon got a lot of flak in the late 2000s and throughout the 2010s due to being viewed as a blatant stereotype of Indians and Southern Asians in general, along with the fact that he's voiced by white actor Hank Azaria. However, during the show's run in the 90s, he was also the first if not the only depiction of a Southern Asian to appear on mainstream television in the U.S. Add to that is the fact that Apu wasn't overly defined by religion like most Hindu characters today, is shown to be capable of running a successful business, and is generally portrayed as a flawed but nice guy who gets along well with the other characters — impressive considering the complete Dysfunction Junction that is Springfield. The "problem with Apu" is that, as the show continued, his stereotypical traits were not toned down or removed — if anything, they got worse — which is what cemented his position as a racial caricature in today's society. Interestingly, while he has been criticized by Indian-Americans and South Asian Americans, Apu is well-liked in India itself - and in Britain, it's almost taken for granted that an Asian character will run the corner shop. "There's Something About Marrying" drew a lot of praise and controversy in the lead-up to its 2005 debut and was the only episode in the show's history to have a disclaimer about content before its original broadcast, since same-sex marriage was still a touchy and divisive topic at the time. With the growing acceptance of same-sex marriage and the prioritization of other LGBTQIA+ issues, the episode at best doesn't come off as particularly groundbreaking. And at worst, unintentionally transphobic, given the reveal of Patty's partner being a man in disguise.

However, back when the show first premiered in 2008, she was one of the few transgender characters to be portrayed favorably, at least compared to other depictions in the media. The show also went out of its way to respect her pronouns and gender identity, as well as portray anyone who discriminated against her as being in the wrong.

Fair for Its Day / int_28645d05	comment	Until the 1960s, promotions had black wrestlers battling other black wrestlers; a notable exception was Bobo Brazil frequently battling The Sheik, an assimilated Arab from Brazil's hometown of Detroit who was generally considered white. Interestingly, you could probably argue this one either way. Either the black-on-black matches were fair for their day in that black wrestlers were allowed to compete at all, Or they were covertly even more fair because they avoided race riots breaking out, during which the black minority in the crowds would inevitably get the short end of the stick — and the possibility of the white wrestler winning every time just to satisfy white audiences' egos.

Fair for Its Day / int_29984214	comment	JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, from the late 1980s, has received some criticism from modern viewers for how one of the central protagonists, Lisa Lisa, doesn't get to do much and her skills are more of an Informed Ability. However, for the time period during which the manga ran, Lisa Lisa was actually too ambitious for Hirohiko Araki. Shonen Manga during the late '80s was very much driven by macho men protagonists like Fist of the North Star with very few female characters being present, and those that were there tended to be supporting characters. Lisa Lisa not only trained Joseph, she actively fought and was a huge threat to the Big Bad of the arc, enough to where the Big Bad Kars cheats his duel with her to knock her out, and it framed as the Darkest Hour of the arc. In fact, Araki admits he wishes he had gotten to do more with Lisa, as his publishers made him reduce her screentime to focus on Joseph to avoid any potential backlash Araki might get over it.

Fair for Its Day / int_29fd9878	comment	American Indian wrestlers mostly had savage gimmicks in the 1920s and 1930s, during the early days of gimmick characters — ergo, to promote "cowboy and Indian" angles. One retrospective, "The Idiot's Guide To Professional Wrestling" (penned by Captain Lou Albano), suggested that as a promotional tool, the wrestler should set up a teepee at city hall (or courthouse, high school, etc.), enticing people to call the local newspaper and send a reporter over to see "what the disturbance was about." The Indian wrestler would be in character and make a scene, thereby giving the promoter the free publicity he was seeking. Later on, as Native Americans were granted civil rights, these characters were always heroes, even though they continued to be all too often portrayed by white athletes who could "pass" for Indian or (in the case of Tatanka) men of mixed race who looked more white than anything else.

Fair for Its Day / int_2ad4ca99	comment	David Byrne's "Now I'm Your Mom" was radically progressive in its positive portrayal of transgender identities in 1992, among other things comparing transitioning to a caterpillar metamorphosing into a butterfly and describing the trans community as "pioneers." Decades later, it comes off as considerably behind the times with how some of its lines imply that being trans is a choice and that gender is tethered to biological sex (and cisgender individuals portraying transgender characters is much more scorned nowadays than in the 1990s). Also not helping its case is Byrne's contemporary description of it as "a sensitive ditty about a man's decision to cut his dick off," which while standard for 1992 would be considered transphobic today. It's perhaps because of Byrne's awareness of this that the song is never featured in live performances.

Fair for Its Day / int_2bbcacd9	comment	The Looney Tunes shorts contain several examples. Bosko, the first Looney Tunes star, was a black boy drawn in such a simple style that he resembled Oswald the Lucky Rabbit with human ears and a bowler hat. At the very start he spoke in a Southern drawl. But to their credit, the creators saw their error and tried to backpedal. Soon Bosko was shown running businesses, fighting as a musketeer alongside white musketeers, and defending his girlfriend from (usually white) bad guys. Alas, the drawing style still causes uninitiated modern viewers to presume the worst. Whenever Warner Bros references Bosko in modern times (such as when he appeared on Tiny Toon Adventures), he is always explicitly identified as just a general purpose "inkblot" Cartoon Creature along the lines of the Animaniacs heroes. Speedy Gonzales has been the subject of criticism for his stereotypical Mexican qualities, but a lot of Hispanics remember him as a resourceful Latino hero on television. Although some of the support cast mice are shown in an unflattering light, their behavior makes sense given that many of them are in party mode. The often-maligned Slowpoke Rodriguez is portrayed as the opposite version of Speedy, seeming to be more crafty than he lets on. The Merrie Melodies cartoon "Clean Pastures" features good-natured spoofs of famous black jazz musicians, and the story suggests that certain types of black music are better than others. Its title is a takeoff on the play/film Green Pastures, which has an all-black cast and is definitely fair for its day. Despite its nature, it is also part of the Censored Eleven alongside ten other cartoons filled with an overabundance of racial jokes.

However, they are intelligent and capable cops unlike Hemlock Holmes and Heap O'Calorie who only solve cases by dumb luck.

It was impressive to have a Japanese good guy, even a stereotypical one, once you realize this wasn't too long after Pearl Harbor and World War II.

Fair for Its Day / int_41ecc735	comment	Cyborg 009 was written in the 60s and it shows - the characters tend to be portrayed rather stereotypically, with 005 and 008's designs aging very badly (008 in particular, who has a blackface design). The manga, however, was one of the earliest portrayals of a multi-cultural superhero team. All of the characters are likable, no matter which country they were from. They quickly grow to be True Companions and have respect for each other's cultures. And while the portrayal of the native characters didn't age very well, the stories still draw attention to how Native Americans and the people of Africa suffer from social injustices and should have their way of life respected. In the Vietnam War arc (not present in the anime), the people of Vietnam are shown as being simple farmers who have no desire for war and are miserable. Additionally, Francoise/003 gets criticism for being The Load and not having offensive powers, but she still was shown as being brave, proactive, and able to use her super-senses to help the team during battle. She was also clearly displeased with Stay in the Kitchen jokes made at her expense and was willing to help the team despite being a pacifist and disliking fighting.

Fair for Its Day / int_46f0352c	comment	The Shadow: While the pulps often reflected the stereotypes of its day, it was a policy of long-time editor John Nanovic to constantly chip away at these elements in the magazine's stories. The Shadow would be notable for having African-American, Jewish, and Chinese-American characters who were useful and often crucial parts of The Shadow's team. Nanovic also instituted two important rules. First, outside of plot-relevant needs, the main villain had to be a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant — "Fu-Manchu"-style villains or other ethnic Big Bads were, by and large, out (though Shiwan Khan was a major exception to this rule). Second, he dogged series author Walter B. Gibson to drop the "Asian Speekee Engrish" Chinese characters, encouraging him to introduce Dr. Roy Tam (who spoke perfect English) and to soften the dialect of other Chinese characters.

As pointed out here, despite the glaring inaccuracies and stereotyped Native characters, the central protagonist is still Pocahontas — who's a Native American female, voiced by Irene Bedard, a Native American actress. She also has personal motivations and life goals that don't involve getting married, and she doesn't end up as a Trophy Wife for the colonist John Smith. Considering the lack of representation Native Americans still suffer from in Western mainstream films — especially with the whitewashing controversy over Tiger Lily in Pan — that is saying something.

Fair for Its Day / int_49a87cb3	comment	Barret from Final Fantasy VII is often criticized by modern gamers/journalists as being a borderline racist stereotype of the Scary Black Man trope. While it's undeniable he fits the description and comes across as stereotypical, Barret was perhaps the best-written black character in the gaming industry back in 1997 — or at the very least the best one written from a Japanese gaming company. While he does play the trope fairly straight, he has enough Hidden Depths to have a character arc, and becomes a Parental Substitute for his deceased best friend's (light-skinned) daughter. This stands out heavily considering Barret is from a JRPG, a genre that often avoids using black characters and usually relegates them to minor characters at best. It's worth noting that despite being stereotypical by modern standards, Barret remains an incredibly popular character, especially among black audiences.

Fair for Its Day / int_610a28dd	comment	The portrayal of the Native Americans in Peter Pan. Despite being very offensive ("What made the red man red?") by today's standards, in The '50s, it was actually one of the more positive portrayals of Native Americans, depicting them not only trouncing the Lost Boys in combat but also having Tiger Lily refusing to betray Peter's hideout. It's seen as an Old Shame by Disney, with contemporaries saying they would not have done it like that if they were making the movie today. However, part of this is due to the source material - which was even more offensive. Reasons like this are why other adaptations try to handle the "Natives" better. Peter and the Starcatchers replaces them with a fictional Polynesian tribe, the Mollusk tribe, who were former slaves of a group of English pirates (which also handily explains how they can communicate with the Lost Boys and why they hate the English).

Fair for Its Day / int_66a1dcea	comment	Tomb Raider's protagonist Lara Croft has been seen by some as obvious Ms. Fanservice for adolescent male fantasies, given her Buxom Beauty Standard proportions, which is not helped when the developers admitted that she was a woman was so gamers wouldn't have to look at a guy's ass all day. However, at the time Lara was a pretty big step forward for women in gaming, given that they were normally cast in lead roles as Damsel in Distress types even in action or fighting games. Having a female character that not only had a strong personality but was an Action Girl who didn't have a male character coming to her rescue at any time was something few games had tried in the past, and with the possible exception of Metroid, none saw the same mass-market success. If nothing else, the series proved that gamers, at the time largely stereotyped as violence-addicted immature adolescent males, were mature enough to at least tolerate playing a female character. Indeed, later analysis revealed that an estimated 40% of players of the first Tomb Raider game were female themselves — an unimaginable proportion for the genre at the time.

The original game disallows same-sex marriage entirely, and The Sims 2 has a separate "joined union" option for same-sex couples which is deliberately distanced from the terminology used around opposite-sex marriage. It's easy to forget that when the first game released in 2000, the fact that it was even designed to permit same-sex romances between characters at all was a pretty big deal; and acknowledging same-sex couples with legally recognised in-game partnerships was similarly progressive in 2004 when the sequel came out.

However, this is mostly a misconception, and her character was considered progressive compared to her contemporaries. Cinderella didn't wait for people to rescue her to the degree most people commonly believe. Cinderella's patience and dreams are what gave her determination to fight for the happiness and freedom that her stepfamily denied her, taking advantage of opportunities to do so despite her stepfamily's wishes and openly expressing her contempt for them. Also, Cinderella never once mentions waiting or praying for a man or prince to come to rescue her. In fact, she doesn't know she's dancing with the Prince at the ball until told later. She also isn't nearly as passive as everyone thinks - on multiple occasions she attempts to speak up for herself, sasses back, and is interrupted from punishing the cat by a messenger at the door. Again, Cinderella makes the most of opportunities and takes risks to earn her happiness and freedom, including winning over the Prince, the only person that Cinderella has had a happy interaction with since her father died. To quote Walt Disney himself:

She has to be saved early in the game after getting a form of heatstroke, she gets kidnapped by the Big Bad, and she gets left behind during battle by Cecil (along with Rydia) out of fear for them being hurt. While by today's standards these would never be acceptable (coming across as Stay in the Kitchen thinking), the game came out during a period where games finally began putting more effort into telling their stories — thus it was considered fine, even nuanced at the time. Cecil's attempts to protect Rosa (his love interest) and Rydia (the girl he accidentally dragged into the game's events) by having them stay behind was a flaw of his that they both called him out on. He eventually realized he was being rude to them by attempting to do so. Both characters were also more complex than typical female characters in RPGs, with Rosa being a Morality Chain to Cecil and being just as devoted to protecting him as he was to her. For the time she came out in, Rosa was significantly more advanced than most other healer love interest characters in the genre.

Especially in the US, which didn't get any of the Final Fantasies that allowed class changing and thus only had Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II, both of which exclusively relegated women to physically weak spellcaster roles. Nowadays Setzer's introduction sequence, with him planning to kidnap an actress to make her his bride and everyone considering him a Lovable Rogue for it, is more than a little creepy. Furthermore the whole sequence is a tongue in cheek homage to overwrought and melodramatic operas, so it's clearly not meant to be taken entirely seriously.

She usually remained calm in the face of danger, was an independent and competent female who didn't take crap from anyone, and had a man working for her named Parker (justified, though, since he was her butler).

For example: Bon Kurei, the first Okama seen in the manga, was a very deadly fighter enough to match Sanji blow-for-blow in their fight, and eventually ended up having an Heelâ€“Face Turn and become an ally of the Straw Hats. Thanks to the Manga continuing into the modern day, representation of gender-non-conforming and LGBT characters would significantly improve, especially in the Wano arc with the introduction of canonical trans woman Kiku, drawn as a Statuesque Stunner with none of the Gonk-ish caricatures of Okama characters, and gender-non-conforming Yamato*It's unclear in canon whether Yamato is a trans man, a cis woman who simply uses male pronouns, or some level of genderfluid/nonbinary (even official material can't seem to make up its mind), but regardless, he is non-conforming, sympathetically portrayed, and not drawn as an exaggerated caricature, who is born female but, since he considers himself the reincarnation of Kozuki Oden, also adopted Oden's gender. As if to affirm their identity even further, at one point the characters go into a gender-segregated bath house and Kiku goes in the women's side while Yamato goes to the men's side.

While by today's standards these would never be acceptable (coming across as Stay in the Kitchen thinking), the game came out during a period where games finally began putting more effort into telling their stories — thus it was considered fine, even nuanced at the time. Cecil's attempts to protect Rosa (his love interest) and Rydia (the girl he accidentally dragged into the game's events) by having them stay behind was a flaw of his that they both called him out on. He eventually realized he was being rude to them by attempting to do so. Both characters were also more complex than typical female characters in RPGs, with Rosa being a Morality Chain to Cecil and being just as devoted to protecting him as he was to her. For the time she came out in, Rosa was significantly more advanced than most other healer love interest characters in the genre. For its time, Final Fantasy VI was progressive for not only having female leads in Terra and Celes, but having them be hard-hitting warrior-types equipped with shields, swords, and armor in an era where female RPG characters were all but guaranteed to be Squishy Wizards who used staves or rods. Especially in the US, which didn't get any of the Final Fantasies that allowed class changing and thus only had Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II, both of which exclusively relegated women to physically weak spellcaster roles. Nowadays Setzer's introduction sequence, with him planning to kidnap an actress to make her his bride and everyone considering him a Lovable Rogue for it, is more than a little creepy. Furthermore the whole sequence is a tongue in cheek homage to overwrought and melodramatic operas, so it's clearly not meant to be taken entirely seriously. Barret from Final Fantasy VII is often criticized by modern gamers/journalists as being a borderline racist stereotype of the Scary Black Man trope. While it's undeniable he fits the description and comes across as stereotypical, Barret was perhaps the best-written black character in the gaming industry back in 1997 — or at the very least the best one written from a Japanese gaming company. While he does play the trope fairly straight, he has enough Hidden Depths to have a character arc, and becomes a Parental Substitute for his deceased best friend's (light-skinned) daughter. This stands out heavily considering Barret is from a JRPG, a genre that often avoids using black characters and usually relegates them to minor characters at best. It's worth noting that despite being stereotypical by modern standards, Barret remains an incredibly popular character, especially among black audiences.

Fair for Its Day / int_af84ccaf	comment	In Rupert Bear, the Chinese Conjurer and Tiger Lily are very stereotypical, but also depicted as likable and good characters rather than Yellow Peril villains. They are also drawn as people that human beings could believably look like, rather than the extreme ethnic caricatures seen in other strips of their era.

Fair for Its Day / int_b2ac2311	comment	Peanuts Franklin was considered radical for the time just for being a black kid who joined the otherwise all-white cast, especially because he had been included at the suggestion of a schoolteacher who wrote to Charles Schulz to urge him to include one (for context, this happened eleven days after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination). His inclusion caused controversy at the time; a reader complained when he was drawn sitting behind Peppermint Patty in school, and several southern papers dropped the strip after his debut. Nowadays, though, he tends to be used as an example of a Token Minority character who lacks a distinct personality or trait outside of their race. Peppermint Patty was - originally rather gender-noncomforming because she wore pants, yet her hair is still somewhat feminine. These days, this aspect of her character is often lost on younger audiences.

Despite the blatant racial stereotyping and usage of the word "colorful", the fact that the African American characters weren't in a segregated crowd was quite admirable for the 1930's, and the ending when all the babies drink from the same bottle could be interpreted as a pro-tolerance message.

Fair for Its Day / int_c38f0b33	comment	Lloyd in Space: The episode "Neither Boy Nor Girl" is about an alien kid named Zoit whose species chooses to be a boy or girl when they turn thirteen. It defines gender through stereotypically gendered activities like enjoying sappy movies and belching contests, and the ending implies that boys must develop crushes on girls and vice versa. However, it addresses the concept of androgyny and choosing one's gender years before transgender issues started to get more traction in the media, and Zoit calls their classmates out for trying to influence their choice.

Fair for Its Day / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball General Blue in the Red Ribbon arc was a rather cringe-worthy gay stereotype; he was also by far the most competent, dangerous, and lethal of all the officers of the Red Ribbon Army, almost killing Goku three times. While he was worse in the anime thanks to some scenes establishing that he had a taste for underage boys, those scenes were filler created by Toei with no input from Toriyama. Also from the Red Ribbon arc was Staff Officer Black, who had a less than tasteful design to go along with his Colorful Theme Naming, but was a Hypercompetent Sidekick who turned on his commander after he disregarded their soldiers' lives for petty reasons. About a decade later, he was redesigned to look less like a caricature.

Fair for Its Day / int_cf3e7a82	comment	The famous Superman radio miniseries "The Clan of the Fiery Cross" gets quite a lot of well-deserved praise today for being one of the first works of mainstream American pop culture to portray the Ku Klux Klan (or a thinly-veiled expy of them) as villains, explicitly calling out their racism and xenophobia as "un-American" and inviting ordinary Americans to harass and disrupt them by any possible means. By today's standards, though, it might seem a bit odd that the family Superman defends from the Klansmen are not rural or working-class African-Americans (the most frequent target of the Klan, by far), but heavily Americanized middle-class Chinese-Americans. And the story takes pains to show them as educated, well-to-do business owners who speak flawless English, as if they would have been too hard to sympathize with if they hadn't been the absolute image of respectable white-bread American values. As progressive as the story was, it was still a product of the 1940s; it was daring enough to take on the Klan, but not quite daring enough to show Superman siding with black Americans.

Fair for Its Day / int_d0f124da	comment	Jonny Quest: The original 1960s version of which first aired in prime time deserves a listing here. While the character of Hadji has some clearly stereotypical characteristics ("Sim sim salabim", anyone?), he was the first dark-skinned character to be a regular in a 1960s kids' show, was always treated as Jonny's equal (as well as his best friend and adopted brother), and had tricks that amazed or confused the adults featured. The 1990's version downplayed a lot of the unfortunate baggage on Hadji, presenting his philosophizing as a way for him to subtly snark at his more adventurous adoptive brother and the hotheaded Jessie Bannon. Making Hadji the computer expert helped solidify this idea. Additionally, his surname was revealed as "Singh" meaning he was Sikh, thus justifying why he is wearing a turban. Unfortunately, ten years later, Bollywood Nerd would become its own trope - becoming a twofer with him being a Sikh. Also given the realistic art style of the show, mostly avoiding Asian Speekee Engrish, and generally being competent, none of the non-white characters were racist caricatures, at least by '60s standards. They weren't always pretty, but they were far better than portrayals from earlier decades. The show has some blatant stereotypes by 21st century standards, including an almost complete absence of any black people except for a second's worth of angry African natives from the episode "Pursuit of the Po-Ho" in the opening credits. This episode proved the exception; in it, Dr. Quest quietly chides another scientist for calling a Po-Ho ritual "barbaric". He says that while it may seem barbaric according to their standards, it's not barbaric by the Po-Ho's standards.

However, these days, it is scrutinized for taking a lot of liberties with a region that continues to be marginalized in many places to this day, and, outside of Aladdin and Jasmine, typically get portrayed as ugly people with stereotypical Middle-Eastern features and accents. The fact that all of the voice actors are white also adds issue.

Fair for Its Day / int_d877e97f	comment	Bosko, the first Looney Tunes star, was a black boy drawn in such a simple style that he resembled Oswald the Lucky Rabbit with human ears and a bowler hat. At the very start he spoke in a Southern drawl. But to their credit, the creators saw their error and tried to backpedal. Soon Bosko was shown running businesses, fighting as a musketeer alongside white musketeers, and defending his girlfriend from (usually white) bad guys. Alas, the drawing style still causes uninitiated modern viewers to presume the worst. Whenever Warner Bros references Bosko in modern times (such as when he appeared on Tiny Toon Adventures), he is always explicitly identified as just a general purpose "inkblot" Cartoon Creature along the lines of the Animaniacs heroes.

Fair for Its Day / int_e0b56ce6	comment	Deep Trouble: The second episode of the second series has main character Jack reconnect with an old friend, Sam, who he knew as a man, but has transitioned since he last saw her. Much of how this is handled has not aged well, from Jack's horrified reaction, to the way the rest of the crew speculate (in extensive detail) about Sam's genitals, to implying that trans people are 'in disguise' in the stinger. However, Jack's reaction is framed more as a lack of understanding and a childish difficulty dealing with his friend having changed in such major way, rather than being based in disgust or hatred towards trans people in general. His arc through the episode has him come to understand that she's still the same person he always liked and was friends with, and he becomes very insistent about using the right pronouns. The rest of the crew, inappropriate as they're being, are also merely suggested to be curious, rather than hateful. Multiple characters also state that, ultimately, it's what's inside that matters - which is a far kinder take on transgender people than many other comedic works had at the time.

Fair for Its Day / int_e8d13e52	comment	In some ways, depictions of gender and sexuality in both Urusei Yatsura and Ranma Â½ were arguably downright subversive for the time, not for the implication of non-normative sexuality but for the specific ways norms were parodied: Ryunosuke being forced to crossdress because her father thinks she's a boy (then attracting legions of schoolgirls despite them knowing she's a girl), Ranma getting engaged despite his Gender Bender status and paired with Akane for precisely this reason, the implied hypocrisy of some homophobic characters in both works, etc. These aren't things a modern audience would be likely to pay attention to, while the casual displays of homophobia would be much more noticeable.

Fair for Its Day / int_f8956ef3	comment	YuYu Hakusho often is the target of criticism by modern viewers who watch it now instead of when it came out for some out of date views on things like homosexuality, transgenderism, and other more modern social topics, many of which are traits of the antagonists the heroes face and are often portrayed as weird or comical in nature. When the manga came out though, very few series were willing to even have these elements in their work because of more traditional views of Japan at the time and so the series seemed fairly ahead of its time by simply addressing their existence. Furthermore, the main villain of the Chapter Black arc, Sensui, was gay, but his sexuality was not portrayed as evil, wrong, or weird, but instead was a part of his character that was there, and he was a villain because his goals and beliefs were going to cause countless deaths. Part of this issue lies with the dub of the anime, as the dub came out during a time where these topics were seen as controversial and not allowed due to Moral Guardians at the time, so the dub had to downplay or alter these elements to avoid possible legal issues that could arise from having these elements.
