Values Resonance	comment	Some moral values just don't travel well. The attitudes of our society have changed, or the issue they addressed has become obsolete. But others — like a good wine or fine cheeses — only get better with age. Years after the original author and audience have passed, new generations will still look at the given Aesop and say "Damn straight." Maybe some authors knowingly spoke to issues that were years ahead of their time. Maybe many of society's questions are just Older Than They Think. Maybe they just got lucky. These are the principles that stand the test of time and have outlived the original moral issue they were meant to address a hundred times over. Even when a work is non-ideological, it can still resonate due to tapping into a style or gimmick that would not become popular for many years. Art historians have pointed out, for example, that paintings in the nonrepresentational or abstract style were created in the 16th century by Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo — a full 300 years before expressionism became fashionable in Western art. Keep in mind that this is somewhat a subjective trope, as what resonates as an accurate observation for a conservative may not be the same as a liberal, for a woman may not be the same as for a man, for a devoutly religious person may not be the same as an atheist, for a citizen of one country not the same as a citizen of another, and so on, as well as vice-versa. The best advice (as always applicable when one deals with the internet) is to keep an open mind. Likewise, do not assume that merely because it is old that it is accurate. But while this is somewhat subjective, there is a key guideline that should be borne in mind when considering examples. The key element of this trope is that the value or values presented or portrayed in the example resonate with an audience culturally removed from the originally intended or expected audience. It is not resonance when the values in a work are significant or meaningful to the audience for which the work was originally made; a thing does not resonate with itself. That usually requires that the work is from an earlier time or from a different culture than the audience with whom the work is resonating. There is some flexibility here for certain media or works where the intended audience moves on after only a few years, but even that flexibility is limited, since, just because the audience has moved on, it does not follow that the work is now being consumed by a fundamentally separate culture. Compare and contrast with Fair for Its Day, where the morals the work presents are kind of off, but compared to other opinions from its age, very forward-thinking. Contrast Unintentional Period Piece, where the setting and narrative fluff of the work ties it to a single time period (though note that it can still overlap with this if the themes are louder than its cultural trappings). Also compare Politically Correct History, which is when modern sentiments are presented in-universe to purposely elicit the same effect. See also Not So Crazy Anymore, when a concept in a work that was originally presented as outlandish/impractical/what-have-you eventually is seen as commonplace in the general culture. Note: Examples regarding the resonance between time periods require a 20-year waiting period before they can be added.

Values Resonance / int_1305c32	comment	Kamen Rider Fourze: One early two-part episode deals with a student turned willing Monster of the Week who got rejected by several girls and uses his newfound powers to get revenge on Yuki by destroying the locker that doubles as a portal to their secret headquarters to 'see her cry' then attempting to send a bus full of girls who also 'rejected him' off a bridge to their deaths. With the rise of violence and victim blaming in incel culture in the late 10's and early 20's, it's much more relevant today as it was in 2011.

Despite the series' sometimes questionable portrayal of gay men (most men who show sexual interest in other men are depicted as pedophiles and sex traffickers), the largely sexless romance between main characters Ash and Eiji (who are both male) is now praised for being ahead of its time, with their relationship being deeply significant for people who have gone through sexual trauma, and for people who identify as asexual in any way.

But generally speaking, the play has a lot that resonates with modern audiences; attitudes to cultural/ethnic minorities, minority attitudes, the troubles of career military men in domestic settings, the destructive power of rumors.

Values Resonance / int_1b51bb94	comment	The Addams Family Morticia and Gomez were among the first TV couples who openly and passionately showed their affection for each other, they always functioned as a team, with one never keeping secrets or vocally resenting the other in any way. It's also completely egalitarian; any important decisions about the children, they make together. They both show complete respect to each other at all times, and even when they disagree, they always try to hear the other one out and reach a solution they both can agree upon. There's also the parents' relationship with their children. Gomez is decidedly not a Bumbling Dad but rather an extremely active co-parent with Morticia, who in turn is not automatically viewed as correct because Women Are Wiser, instead always consulting with Gomez about the kids. They actively encourage Wednesday's and Pugsley's habitsâ€”whatever they may beâ€”and teach them everything from fine arts to dance to mechanical engineering. It's telling that in the very first episode, Gomez is originally against sending Wednesday and Pugsley to school not because of the curriculum, but because he wants to be around his kids as much as possible. And even when the children misbehave or take up (comparatively) "weird" hobbies like joining the Boy Scouts, Gomez and Morticia are always shown as supportive even when they don't necessarily approve.

It resonates well throughout centuries as it's one of the very earliest pieces that taught War Is Hell and marked the tragedy of the innocent civilians who suffers from it (especially the women). It was especially relevant back when it was written, as Euripides wrote this during The Peloponnesian War when the Athenian were subjugating and enslaving the people in the Island of Melos.

Values Resonance / int_1d01b4d6	comment	Much Ado About Nothing: Beatrice is witty and delights in taking Benedick down a peg and matching his snark beat for beat, and yet is considered a virtuous character. When Claudio ruins her cousin's life at her wedding and Leonato immediately takes his side and becomes monstrous towards Hero, completely dismissing Hero and Beatrice's protestations of innocence, Beatrice is enraged. She rails against the limitations she's forced to work with as a woman, who can't take Revenge and (this being too close to the end of the play for her to start crossdressing) has no outlet but tears and to convince Benedick to kill him for her. At the time this was an unusual role. Many adaptations for centuries have made her more socially acceptable as a heroine by having her be more demure towards the male characters, or else have her much gentler by the end, but advances in feminism have made Beatrice's rage and her Snark-to-Snark Combat with someone who is after all just as rude as she into something not shocking at all. In several recent adaptations she screams the lines "Oh that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace!"

This aesop has probably aged the best given the modern trend of children trying to grow up too quickly or trying to dress like celebrities who dress inappropriately for their own age, let alone the listener's. The show's plotline itself qualifies, too. Even through their common Bumbling Dad moments, it still has three loving, attentive, and fairly competent father figures who take a genuine interest in three young girls' lives to not only cope with their mother's tragic death but to raise them to be decent human beings (and had fun while doing so). Many sitcoms before, during and after Full House was in production either had just a mother or a father who was cold and/or a peripheral character.

However, many have pointed out that the three good Fairies and Maleficent all have their own distinct personalities and drive the film's events. In fact, the prince needed the fairies' help to defeat Maleficent. This actually was pretty Fair for Its Day, but in many ways it still has aged quite well as the film reaches its sixty-fifth year. There is also a plot point in which Phillip decides to marry for love, when he was betrothed to another girl. Sure, it was a Perfectly Arranged Marriage (as the girl he met was the girl he was betrothed to!) but this still gives a pretty good message.

Values Resonance / int_2a04866b	comment	Guild Wars sets its two expansions, Nightfall and Factions, on the in-game world's equivalents of East Asia and Africa and manages to build a detailed world that draws upon real life mythology in both cases without resorting to stereotypes.note A cancelled third expansion may also have been planned to take place on a South America influenced continent. Both Cantha (Asia) and Elona (Africa) have their own independent history, society, and cast of heroes and villans that's depicted as equal in all ways to that of Tyria (Europe) ingame (and perhaps even superior to it, as the original game sees one Tyrian kingdom completely destroyed and another secretly being led by evil extradimensional beings). While it is possible to complete both of the expansions as a White Savior Tyrian character, characters created in the expansions look Canthan or Elonan (and can similarly travel to Tyria and complete the original campaign). The majority of characters in the game (at least the "good" ones) also worship the same pantheon of five gods regardless of which expansion they're from. In particular, given the debates about the inclusion of people of the color in media, it's difficult to imagine that a major video game could release an expansion set on a swords-and-sorcery equivalent of Africa without significant outrage and accusations of forced diversity today, let alone in 2006 when Guild Wars: Nightfall was released.

The O.B.I.T. machine turns out to have been invented by alien invaders who are using it to demoralize humanity, thus making it easier for them to take over.

She ends the video by saying that those themes are even more relevant on the time of the video (2017), and the movie would probably be much more popular and less scrutinized if it came out now.

Values Resonance / int_3ac755dd	comment	Beauty and the Beast, which came out in 1991, contains a very powerful message on the nature of a woman's choice, depicting Gaston's Entitled to Have You attitude towards Belle as what makes him the villain. The fact that he goes to such extreme lengths to get her attention, despite her turning him down multiple times, only emphasizes his villainy. Even in today's world, women can still be vilified for not returning feelings or for not liking someone who's effectively sexually harassing them, so its message of showing that it's Belle's choice that matters and not Gaston's is very refreshing. There's also the whole criticism of the film glorifying Stockholm's syndrome, completely ignoring the fact that Belle goes out of her way to get to know the Beast better and see his gentler side, as well as the Beast willingly allowing Belle to go home, fully expecting to remain a beast forever, and it is Belle who makes the choice to return, surprising the Beast who freed her without expecting her to ever return for him.

When they find that Martians don't trust Earthlings, Calvin realizes, "We ought to fix up our own planet before we go messing around with other people's planets." The early development of space tourism in the 21st century correlating with rising climate change concerns has led to criticisms of this exact nature. One 1992 storyline had Calvin chew out Hobbes for making "original art" (a clay tiger) instead of "popular art" with recognizable characters and merchandise tie-ins. While merchandising was obviously a source of discourse at the time (with Watterson famously being against merchandising his own comic), the increasingly easy production and distribution of sequels, spinoffs, revivals and reboots since then, as well as the increased prominence and success of franchise films, has kept this satire relevant.

Alis avoids pitfalls that some other video games of the time are criticized for: her character doesn't revolve around pursuing a love interest (her goal is to avenge her brother's death), her outfit is a standard suit of armor with Modesty Shorts instead of something impractically skimpy like Leotard of Power commonly associated with JRPGs of its time, and the story never once treats her, a leading lady of the party who excels at swordfighting, out of the ordinary.

Values Resonance / int_44fe781e	comment	Neon Genesis Evangelion: A frequent topic that was discussed was that men and women aren't that different — definitely An Aesop that was ahead of its time, considering that gender roles have become a much more controversial issue. Kaworu is depicted as a morally gray character in his every appearance, but the ambiguously queer love between him and Shinji is never subjected to any homophobia in the text proper. While Kaworu always ended up being buried by the end of his appearance, that's really just the way Evangelion rolls. The anime frequently delves into various characters' mental states, and very few of them are stable; while this doesn't necessarily excuse some characters' more questionable actions, the anime still takes the time to explore several main characters' backstories and show why they ended up the way they did. This became especially relevant in The New '10s with movements to destigmatize mental health problems, as well as increasing awareness of the effects of parental abuse and neglect.

However, he never gets mocked over his appearance in the manga and merchandise. During the 1970s, the idea of men being comfortable wearing female makeup and women's clothing was viewed as very unmanly and viewed from a homophobic viewpoint, outside of jokes and less flattering portrayals of gays. Near the end of The New '10s, society (especially in the West) has slowly started accepting the idea of men fond of crossdressing in media and a few real world locations.

Values Resonance / int_53a0bd32	comment	The Twilight Zone (1959): "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" is a classic episode about aliens who use good old-fashioned human prejudice and hysteria while they just watch and laugh. This was an allegory for the Red Scare, warning how communism is a danger, but the self-destructive anti-communist hysteria among the American people at the time was actually the best way for the real communists to win. The episode was remade for The Twilight Zone (2002), with the communist threat changed to terrorism. No other changes were made... or needed. "He's Alive" is another good contender, on how we keep monsters like Adolf Hitler alive so long as we spread intolerance, no matter of what kind. "Number 12 Looks Just Like You" and its theme of over conformity and the Hollywood obsession with beauty (especially female beauty) is probably even truer today than it was back then. Eerily, it takes place in the year 2000. "Eye of the Beholder" has similar themes. The Closing Narration even invokes this: "The Night of the Meek" (the Christmas Episode) carries an Aesop about belief and the goodness of charity and giving, as opposed to blindly and selfishly asking and receiving. Its message is even truer today, as the commercialization of the holidays is greater than ever. "The Shelter" is a good example, whose message is somewhat similar to 'The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street', showing how when people turn on each other in times of crisis, it only leads to destruction. Incidentally, "The Shelter" is one of only a few episodes that keeps a fully realistic setting (no science fiction or supernatural elements), driving the point home that much harder as it comes off as something that could actually happen in real life. Thanks to theories on global climate change that are increasingly agreed to be true, the depiction of people going mad and dying from extreme heat in "The Midnight Sun" is far more unsettling today. And that's an episode that wasn't intended to be a moral lesson at all!

This type of portrayal is rare even in Western media, where Indigenous nations still suffer from harmful stereotypes. Cancer is a complete aversion of the Ethnic Scrappy trope that befalls the majority of characters who are Chinese in Japanese media. He is portrayed incredibly sympathetically, actually has a powerful character arc, and ultimately becomes heroic. Given how heavily Japanese media portrays fictional Chinese characters as villains or as jokes, Cancer is very progressive. A major theme is turning on a superior because the superior is doing something incredibly wrong. In Japan, strict obedience is seen as normal, and any form of treason is a disgrace. It already was a deeply progressive message, but in an age of increasing distrust towards government institutions, this message is deeply relevant.

The teachings encourage pacifism (Jesus is a Martial Pacifist at most, but even then He never kills or maims anyone) instead of Pay Evil unto Evil. Jesus also spoke against sectarianism with his parable of "The Good Samaritan." Ripped from its context, lots of people think it's just a story about strangers helping each other. But Jews and Samaritans hated each other, and suggesting they could be anything other than enemies was controversial at best at the time Jesus lived. This is to the point that even people who are critical of the Bible and/or religion as a whole tend to respect Jesus and His teachings for the most part. Not bad for a millennia-old holy text.

Values Resonance / int_79f5cce3	comment	The Snow Maiden: For a fantasy play written in the 19th century, it brings up quite a few issues still pretty relevant today: The relationship of Grandfather Frost and Spring Beauty, with the latter only keeping it up for the sake of the child, would be familiar to quite a few families nowadays. In addition, the clashing parenting styles of the two (Grandfather Frost is the custodial parent who cares for and protects the Snow Maiden, while Spring Beauty is the flashy, flighty Missing Mom who pops up occasionally with rich gifts) would also resonate with many children of divorced parents. Not only are Mizgir's stalking and Attempted Rape of the Snow Maiden played to the full horrifying extent, but Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male and Stalking Is Funny If Its Female After Male are also averted. The Berendeys stop Bobylikha from physically abusing her husband, and Lel is shown to grow extremely uncomfortable when the Snow Maiden keeps following him

This show is NOT subtle in its message that The Power of Friendship is awesome and how it conveys this with the two main characters, Romeo and Alfredo. This message gets more and more relevant every year, since modern-day boys get persecuted for showing even the tiniest bit of friendship-like (whether romantic or not) affection for other boys just because others say it's gay,.

When Charles GÃ©rard confesses to Maddalena de Coigny he has been stalking her for ages using first his job as a Beneath Notice servant and then his position as a revolutionary leader with a spy network, Maddalena is horrified and cries sheâ€™d rather get lynched by a mob than accept his feelings. For that matter, GÃ©rard himself admits he is a textbook case of Love Makes You Crazy. This opera was composed long before it became a legal offence, but though GÃ©rard is a tragic character and his feelings for Maddalena run deeper than Entitled to Have You, his stalking of her is clearly depicted as major creepiness.

Values Resonance / int_7f6eb95d	comment	One of the reasons Romeo and Juliet has endured over the years is because of its Aesop about how parents pass things down to their children — including prejudices. The young have to suffer from the mistakes of the old, and it takes the death of the two lovers to finally make the families realize how senseless the conflict was. One of the reasons there are many Whole Plot References to it is because the story is one that's easily applicable to modern life. In fact the majority of fans of the 1968 film version were the teenagers of the day, who could relate to the passion of the story. Olivia Hussey, who played Juliet in that version, says she continued to get fan letters from young teenagers decades after the film came out.

Values Resonance / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek has managed to come up with many stories that are excellent examples of this trope. Star Trek: The Original Series: The episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" demonstrates the absurdity of racism when an alien with a half white / half black face expressing contempt for another of his race because "His face is white on the right side. All his people are white on the right side!" This was relevant during the Civil Rights movement of the late 1960s when it aired. It still applies unnervingly well to all the racial and religious fanaticism of the early 21st century. An episode of Star Trek: Enterprise made during the 21st century depicted a similar issue but with regard to the destructive power of religious extremism, purposely made as a tribute to "Last Battlefield" to show that this type of story is just as true, if not more, today. The theme of TOS's "A Taste of Armageddon", about the dehumanizing effects of computerized warfare, was haunting enough in 1967, when the computer was still in its infancy. Today, with things like UAVs and computer-guided missiles becoming indispensable parts of modern warfare, it hits harder than ever. Its message that when war becomes convenient and easy people stop trying to find peace is also relevant in an America that spent 20 years fighting a war in Afghanistan that cost trillions of dollars and resulted in tens of thousands of civilian deaths while most Americans went on with their lives completely unaffected and barely thinking about it. "The Devil in the Dark" has always aged beautifully with a Green Aesop theme that gradually becomes obvious in a natural way. "The Omega Glory" is extremely divisive, especially among international Trekkies, but its message of how dangerous jingoism and nationalism can be still rings true, particularly since the surge of hyper-jingoism that emerged in the US after the September 11th attacks. Especially after how NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick peacefully protested against police brutality by kneeling during renditions of the national anthem, only to have conservative critics claim he was "disrespecting" both the flag and anthem. Kirk makes the admonition that "these words must apply to all, or they mean nothing!" In "Charlie X", Kirk's speech to Charlie about how his feelings aren't the only ones that matter and he isn't entitled to have Rand just because he wants her resonates just as much in the era of #Me Too. The Next Generation: "The Drumhead" and Deep Space Nine's "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost" both carry strong messages of not sacrificing liberty in the name of security, messages that remain very important to this day. "The Measure Of A Man": Data fighting for his right to bodily autonomy, and against being subjected to surgery against his will, has been taken in more recent years as an easily fitting analogy for abortion rights as well as transgender and non-binary rights. Notably, Maddox's insistence on referring to Data as "it" for most of the episode has been compared to misgendering a trans person. The episode "The Outcast" explored sexual orientation through a monogendered race, and their society is very strict on any individual who deviates from their norm. While the episode got flak for other issues (all of the monogender aliens were portrayed by women, making it seem more like militant lesbians harassing a heterosexual traitor), it took on new life as the in-show outrage over the violation of individual rights still hit hard and the sci-fi analogy made it applicable to many sexual orientation and transgender issues beyond its original intention. The TNG two-part episode "Unification" has Spock traveling to Romulus and helping a youth movement trying to restore peaceful ties between the Romulans and Vulcans. Nowadays, it isn't hard to compare Spock with politicians like Bernie Sanders in the US or Jeremy Corbyn in the UK, or for that matter progressive Trek actors like George Takei, as elder statesmen who strike a chord with younger activists hoping to make their world better. Spock's last lines to Picard still resonate thanks to the populist wave of The New '10s. Deep Space Nine originally aired in the 90s, but the series themes of handling the fallout from an occupation, religious extremism and necessary terrorism all became even more relevant after the invasion of Iraq. Dr. Bashir having been non-consensually genetically â€œenhancedâ€� because his parents couldnâ€™t deal with his unspecified learning disability is still quite a relevant topic to autistic people in an age where autism is considered a literal Fate Worse than Death by anti-vaccination proponents, and autistic kids are still generally treated like they're idiots that can't do anything, or get abused (by family or other caretakers), fed bleach or murdered. In the episode "Blood Oath" Kor greets his old friend Dax by her old name Curzon, but when told it's Jadzia now immediately corrects himself and uses her proper pronouns from then on. Even decades later it's one of the best examples of straightforward acceptance of a transgender friend in television. Star Trek: Voyager: The episode "Critical Care" — in which the Doctor is forced to try to ethically navigate an alien crapsack hospital where treatment is given based on the wealth of the patient, not medical need — would be an on-the-nose commentary about US healthcare if it aired today. Especially in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, when the very wealthy were much more likely to afford treatment and recover than those that weren't wealthy. In the episode "Blood Fever" Tom Paris refuses the advances of a Pon Farr-suffering B'Elanna Torres because she isn't in a state of mind to properly give consent. This has resonated with a lot of viewers with the increased publicity of various sexual assault scandals and the growing awareness of when a person cannot consent to sex. The episode "The Voyager Conspiracy", in which Seven of Nine absorbs months worth of information in a few hours and begins to hold paranoid delusions that both the captain and her second-in-command deliberately stranded the ship in the Delta Quadrant for a sinister purpose, has only gotten more relevant with the passing decades. Not just because real conspiracy theories have only gotten more popular since the episode aired, but because the nature of Seven's malfunction is very on-the-nose in the infobesity age. The end conflict of "Author, Author" surrounded a publisher feeling free to steal the Doctor's holonovel without permission because he is not legally considered a sentient individual. Later real-world experiments with Artificial Intelligence include feeding thousands of pieces of art, from paintings to novels, to a computer and being able to spontaneously create new art through piecing together that content through different tags. Some AI films have been made through filming the screenplay exactly as made (which are nonsensical), while AI digital art have won awards under the belief it was made by a human. This has caused some debate on the validity of the art and possible copyright infringement when it just slightly modifies an existing piece. Furthermore, potential stories and scripts written by AI is one of the many contentious issues that led to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA both going on strike in 2023.

A lot of people took interest in the whole "celebrity defendant" phenomenon after the OJ Simpson trial and the 1996 revival has been running ever since. In fact, the program for one touring production described it as "scandalous in the 20s (when the nonmusical play came out), controversial in the 70s, and now just reads like a documentary".

The stereotype of gay people being highly promiscuous and going after anyone is sadly still prominent to this day, and while Jack certainly isn't helping in most regards even he still has enough boundaries to have gay friends. There are occasional Ship Tease moments but in a sitcom that's hardly uncommon, and the show makes fun of the idea of them hooking up just as often.

Values Resonance / int_863b7825	comment	It's surprising how relevant some of the political issues explored on Yes, Minister (though by no means all) still hold true in later decades. For example, one episode deals with upgrading the British nuclear deterrent to Trident, over time the issue has been replacing Trident; despite being set in the Cold War, it's portrayed as just as ridiculously pointless as many think it to be now. Other issues including government waste, data-gathering and privacy concerns, Britain's place in Europe... The episode where Hacker becomes Prime Minister, partially through twisting truth about a new EU directive and then claiming a great victory over Brussels, can even seem like an allegory for Boris Johnson, who is widely believed to have supported Brexit so he could become PM and before doing so made a name for himself in spreading fictitious stories about Brussels directives. He and Hacker even both have an obsession with portraying themselves as Churchill, which is used as a way to mock Hacker in that despite his pretensions of being a great statesman he is often hopelessly out of depth, which is an accusation often levied at Boris Johnson.

Values Resonance / int_8ab0ec8a	comment	A Streetcar Named Desire: The play symbolizes the struggle between the Old South and New South that was taking place at the time. Blanche was an antebellum Southern Belle left over from before the Civil War (being played in the movie by Scarlett O'Hara herself, Vivian Leigh, only added to this), and Stanley was a more modern, industrial blue-collar immigrant, symbolic of the direction the South was heading, and the clash between those who wanted to go back to the Good Old Days and those who wanted to embrace progress. Important in 1947 since the South was still recovering, but the same Old Guard vs. New Blood debate has reemerged, with a younger generation of more diverse, liberal, and progressive Southerners butting heads with the much more religious, staunchly conservative and heavily white previous generation. Blanche's line, "What is straight? A line can be straight, or a street, but the heart of a human being?" In context, "straight" just means "proper" or "okay", but the statement resonates with many people because of the modern meaning of the term.note The term was already gaining popularity in the gay community, so Tennessee Williams, himself a gay man, may or may not have done it on purpose. The fact that the line does relate, albeit indirectly, to a question of sexual orientation (that of Blanche's late husband) only makes it more poignant.

The manga began in 2000, just 20 years after autism was first added to the DSM and only six years after the APA first started recognizing how broad the autism spectrum actually ran. Not only does it treat its subject well, but it also addresses (and berates) common Japanese stereotypes related to autism, such as the Japanese word's meaning.note It literally translates to "social withdrawal syndrome", giving the false impression that it's either the patient or parent's fault if someone is autistic. This manga's messages become more and more relevant with each passing year, especially now that the majority of autistic people are becoming adults who may very well need support in a world that feels they either need to be fixed/murdered or that they're incapable of anything.

Additionally, Francis' classmate and friend Eric is shown to have two dads which is also treated as unremarkable. The show was broadcast at the Turn of the Millennium, when gay marriage/adoption was illegal in many states and queer people were considered acceptable to mock in most pop culture. In another episode, Craig comments to Francis about how he figured out a life hack that allows him to travel anywhere he wants for free: Go into a chat room, pretend to be a horny teenage girl with daddy issues, scam the lonely pervert on the other end of the chat into buying "Debbie" a full-fare round-trip plane ticket when he's ready to arrange to meet her in person. This episode aired in 2000, years before To Catch a Predator and a full decade before Catfish.

Values Resonance / int_a04b0ca3	comment	While Tintin stories are old and filled with antique prejudices of the era, there's a lot of the messages found in them can also be found engaging and relevant today: The criticism of Japan's invasion of China in The Blue Lotus. Tintin also delivers an excellent speech to Chang about how, while a lot of Chinese are afraid of westerners because they don't know what they're like, a lot of westerners are just as afraid of the Chinese because they believe they're all Yellow Peril Fu Manchu stereotypes, and when you overcome ignorance you realise that race doesn't determine whether people are good or bad. While Captain Haddock's alcoholism is often treated as a joke, it's also shown as a hindrance for the characters in their adventures, and a big part of Haddock's development throughout the series is to learn to not be so dependent on the drink. Portraying the Incas and their descendants as rightfully wary of foreigners due to their past with the Spaniards, and criticizing the European exploitation of Peru and its rich culture in The Seven Crystal Balls / Prisoners of the Sun. It's exemplified the best in the scene that opens the first book, where the gentleman sitting next to Tintin calls out the desecration of Rascar Capac's tomb, and later the scene where Tintin saves Zorrino from being bullied by two presumably Spaniard men. Additionally, the Incans were not demonised for protecting their heritage - and the expedition was done in the name of teaching the world what the Incans were actually like. Believing in the Roma's innocence and not supporting the Thompsons' racist accusations in The Castafiore Emerald. Not caring for either Alcazar or Tapioca's regime in Tintin and the PÃcaros, since at the end of the day both leaders still abandon the poorer sections of the population to cater to their own whims and to the richer classes. In general, after the stories of Congo and America, Herge just put a lot more of research into his stories, making the world and characters come off as unique and realistic. This is more impressive when you consider that modern authors barely do a lick of research and are content with featuring blatant stereotypes. Even though the early stories were minimally researched, some of them were still surprisingly resonant for later readers. Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, the original, was by Herge's own admission an anti-Soviet hit piece commissioned by his conservative Catholic newspaper, which he was embarrassed to have done absolutely no research for. However, as time went by and more and more stories came out describing the grim reality of life under communism, the story actually came to look less propagandistic with age and retains a respectable fandom to this day, never quite becoming the Old Shame that Tintin in the Congo would. Similarly, Tintin in America may be heavy on cliches and anachronisms, but it also includes some fairly spot on social commentary on the nation's flaws, some of it simply absurd (Prohibition) and some of it very, very dark (lynching culture). This is, in fact, part of the reason why Tintin in the Congo is so poorly regarded today; the fact that Herge proved early on that he was very capable of writing biting satires about the absurdities of various societies only makes his uncritical hagiography of Belgian rule in the Congo stand out that much more by comparison.

The Nerd even compares the game's events to the real world's state of affairs in The New '20s, with the World of Balance being an equivalent of Earth before the COVID-19 Pandemic (and the "good old days" in general), the Cataclysm to the pandemic itself, and the World of Ruin to the post-pandemic days, where there's still uncertainty about the world's stability no thanks to the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts.

With the rise of corporatism in America, corrupt business practices and sleazy laws favoring corporations over people, as well as climate change and pollution being a big issue now, the message of the games is more relevant than ever. Furthermore, it also shows that the reason these big corporations came into power was partly thanks to the apathy of those who could have stopped them.

Values Resonance / int_a5549ed0	comment	There are reasons why millions of people believe The Bible is the word of God: The Four Gospels: A major reason why the story of Jesus has endured the test of time is that (most of) the teachings and the overall narrative still resonate today: Jesus is a Working-Class Hero whose Apostles are a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, struggles against a contemporary Corrupt Church in the form of the Pharisees that perverted the Laws to their personal benefit, and really wants him dead. The teachings encourage pacifism (Jesus is a Martial Pacifist at most, but even then He never kills or maims anyone) instead of Pay Evil unto Evil. Jesus also spoke against sectarianism with his parable of "The Good Samaritan." Ripped from its context, lots of people think it's just a story about strangers helping each other. But Jews and Samaritans hated each other, and suggesting they could be anything other than enemies was controversial at best at the time Jesus lived. This is to the point that even people who are critical of the Bible and/or religion as a whole tend to respect Jesus and His teachings for the most part. Not bad for a millennia-old holy text. The letters of Paul had quite a bit to say about equality, which may have been rather radical at the time but is considered good sense today. In particular, the notions that men and women are equal partners in marriage and that every person has intrinsic worth in God's eyes. Many portions of the Wisdom books in the Hebrew Bible have retained their positive message. Book of Ecclesiastes: It presents a sobering reflection on how everyone ultimately dies and is forgotten; good or evil, wise or foolish - it doesn't seem to matter. It seems to settle on exhorting one to enjoy the simple things in life with what time we have on Earth. It wouldn't sound out of place in the mouth of a modern secular humanist. It also contains an amount of skepticism towards the supernatural that one wouldn't expect from a religious text. For this reason Ecclesiastes tends to be a favorite among atheists. Steve Wells (of Skeptic's Annotated Bible fame) called it "by far the best book in the Bible." The famous atheist author Richard Dawkins once remarked that "Ecclesiastes, in the 1611 translation, is one of the glories of English literature." Book of Proverbs: Seeing as most ancient and medieval people saw animals as automata without rational souls, the explicit promotion of animal rights in verse 12:10 is remarkably ahead of its time. While some ancient thinkers (namely in Greece and India) advocated animal rights, their views never really made it to the mainstream. This passage stands out in that regard. Song of Songs: The poems have a positive view of sex, lust, and a woman's place in a sexual relationship. If read secularly, the poem is about how good and sexually fulfilling consensual, mutually-pleasuring sex between two equal partners who truly love each other is, with the woman repeating several times to the "daughters of Israel" (and notably, "daughters" specifically) to not rush into love. The relationship depicted in it is way more healthy than most modern erotica, even, not bad for an ancient text written in an era where women's rights weren't very high priority. And if using the Love Triangle interpretation, there's also the message of "Girls, don't marry for money, but for the one you truly want to spend the rest of your life with". The poem is often seen favorably by feminists for these reasons. Book of Exodus (and Leviticus and Deuteronomy): Despite so much Values Dissonance that is associated with the Mosaic Law (executions for disobeying parents stands out), the laws were actually quite progressive for the ancient Near East. They contained the earliest animal rights and environmental protection laws, laws that protected rape victims, a refusal to punish children for their parent's crimes, and restrictions on the power of a monarch. Yes, these were considered innovative for the time and not just common sense. The Judgment of Solomon isn't just a tale of a wise king, but how motherhood is not about possessing a child, but loving and caring for one. Quite progressive in a time when the nuclear family wasn't all that common.

The entire blame of Italy's problem with addiction is put on Passione's Boss for enabling it, while the actual drug users are never represented in a stereotypically negative way, which resonates well with the later popularization of the movement to decriminalize drug use and help drug addicts. Stone Ocean has a transmasculine inmate, seen in one scene early in the manga (though he is mostly Adapted Out of the anime adaptation, aside from a brief background cameo). Jolyne is confused about why a man is in a woman's prison, and the guard (who is meant to be seen as insensitive and wrong) describes him as a woman taking male hormones. Despite the manga being written in the early 2000s, when transgender representation (especially of the positive variety) was very rare, this trans man does not look different from the cisgender men from other parts, and his misgendering is due to Deliberate Values Dissonance. With anti-trans legislation becoming an increasingly hot topic in the 2010s and 2020s, the scene can also be interpreted as a criticism of purely sex-based segregation,note whose proponents usually focus entirely on forcing trans women into male spaces, so flipping the script by showing a passing trans man being forced into a female-only space highlights the absurdity of this position which is still an extremely progressive message even decades after the story ended.

Today it seems to be even more relevant than it was in the early '80s, as the problems/phenomena the sketch presented (inadvertently glorifying killers by extensively focusing on them and turning them into celebrities; desensitizing audiences to violence by showing it repeatedly; inappropriate product placement) are still with us, even more so. Additionally, it showcasing how everyone who knew killer John David Stutts was aware of his plans to murder Buckwheat but did nothing about it became far-sighted in wake of the Columbine High School massacre, which sparked debate about whether it could have been prevented if those who knew the assailants would have seen the warning signs and intervened. Multiple states have since enacted "red flag laws" to this effect.

An arc in the 70s dealt with the school enacting a dress code and Peppermint Patty not being happy about being forced to wear a dress, and doing everything she could to get the dress code removed. Despite some jokes, this is largely played sympathetically, and that a person shouldn't be forced to wear something they're not comfortable in. Considering there are still a lot of schools that force gender conforming dress codes even today, it's a message that's still just as relevant now as it was back then.

When the party travels to Walse, they attempt to convince the King to shut down the crystal amplifier because one crystal already shattered from it, but he dismisses them based on a "lack of evidence" that is obviously motivated by his reluctance to take the political risk. In Karnak, the inventor of the amplifiers actually tries to shut them down, but Queen Karnak throws him in jail and then censors any further dissent by building a wall between the town and the Great Library, whose scholars have also been raising the alarm. In both cases, the denialism does nothing to alter physical reality and both crystals shatter. It is quite prescient about the political mess that would surround climate change in The New '10s, which involves a cocktail of denial, discrediting of scientists, and apathy. Additionally, Exdeath's origin story (the second world using a tree in the Forest of Moore as a trashcan for various evil spirits) has parallels in the real world with toxic waste dumps and ecological "sacrifice zones" that eventually result in worsened natural disasters, floods, and contamination illnesses — various scholars indicate that Galuf's world used to be a lot like Bartz's until their toxic waste dump grew a brain.

Blanche was an antebellum Southern Belle left over from before the Civil War (being played in the movie by Scarlett O'Hara herself, Vivian Leigh, only added to this), and Stanley was a more modern, industrial blue-collar immigrant, symbolic of the direction the South was heading, and the clash between those who wanted to go back to the Good Old Days and those who wanted to embrace progress. Important in 1947 since the South was still recovering, but the same Old Guard vs. New Blood debate has reemerged, with a younger generation of more diverse, liberal, and progressive Southerners butting heads with the much more religious, staunchly conservative and heavily white previous generation.

Values Resonance / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The last few episodes of "Doctor Who and the Silurians" involve London dealing with a plague epidemic created by Silurian scientists. These episodes examine humans' resistance to quarantine and vaccination measures, the rise of conspiracy theories, the inability to keep the virus under control, and the scapegoating of a species due to certain members' involvement in the plague. This plotline feels far more relevant in the post-COVID-19 Pandemic world of the new '20s than it did when it came out in 1970. "The Curse of Peladon" was an allegorical story about Britain's relationship with the European Economic Community, and all the xenophobia and genuine wariness such a thing entailed. It gained relevance again in 2016 when the Brexit referendum happened. "Carnival of Monsters", which involves a couple of carnies stuck in a nightmarish airport security line due to xenophobia, and ending up scapegoated as terrorists in a political coup, works a lot better in the post-The War on Terror era of zealous airport security and refugees being blamed for terrorist attacks, which is seen by another section of people as a way by unscrupulous politicians to gain support. The 1978 story "The Sunmakers" combines this with Broken Aesop. In 1978 it was a right-wing allegory about how taxation is evil, but in the late 00s and 10s, it's a left-wing Occupy allegory about how forcing the tax burden on the poor to benefit big corporations is evil. Complete with a gas that makes everyone afraid being pumped into everyone's houses — an allegory for news media, which has become much more omnipresent and sensationalist since 1978. "Vengeance on Varos", despite being made in 1985, could easily be seen as parody of certain modern Reality TV shows, seeing as Varosian society (with televised Bread and Circuses entertainment and viewers voting if people live or die) almost seems to resemble Big Brother or The X Factor meets Nineteen Eighty-Four.

The anime stresses time and time again that discrimination based on skin colour is ridiculous, with one of the biggest racists towards Ryu being portrayed as a fraud who's actually behind the suffering of his tribe, and him blaming Ryu was simple projection.

Values Resonance / int_c91f3bb4	comment	An Inspector Calls tells of a young working-class woman Driven to Suicide by poverty, and sharply interrogates the culpability of the British upper and middle classes in the desolate lives of the working classes — each member is not to blame individually, but functioning as a class they oppressed and hounded a woman to her death. The play depicts and mercilessly deconstructs the every-man-for-himself individualism of the bourgeoisie as represented by Mr. Birling, with the central Aesop being that all people are connected and that the rich and powerful must take responsibility for the impacts of their actions on others: "If mankind will not learn that lesson, then the time will come soon when he will be taught it, in fire, and blood, and anguish." Written in the 1930s and set in 1912, and extremely resonant in Conservative-governed Britain in 2015, when 6 million people tuned in to a BBC TV film adaptation.

The manga condemns how the Japanese authorities screwed over their own people, including but not limited to expropriating and conscripting innocent people, portrays its war crimes committed against the neighboring countries (China, Korea, and more), and criticizes Tenno (the emperor of Japan) for condoning all of this. Decades later, the manga's transparent (if Anvilicious) message still resonates with readers from the countries affected by 20th century's colonialism, as it is still a relevant topic for them.

And it was produced in The '50s, coming from a 1949 book cover: The story of Superman's father Jor-El, whether it's the Silver Age's tragic story of a utopia or Byrne's final days of a stagnant culture, is one of a scientist desperately trying to convince his peers about the impending destruction of their homeworld, only for his warnings to be dismissed by the ruling bodies of Krypton. With climate change becoming a serious threat to human civilization in the 21st century and many governments refusing to take action to mitigate its effects, the fate of Krypton serves as a cautionary tale about failing to take the warnings from the scientific community seriously. In a Supergirl storyline, a Reality Warper decides to screw with Superman by making Kara not only more powerful than him, but also immune to kryptonite. The idea being that Superman would be embarrassed and annoyed at a "mere girl" overshadowing him, especially given their current hero-sidekick dynamic. Clark being Clark, is not only genuinely proud of his cousin and happy for her, but seriously contemplates maybe he should be her sidekick instead. The question of it being embarrassing to be inferior to a younger, female partner doesn't even really occur to him.

It relates the story of a virgin losing his virginity to a sexually experienced woman, and both the narrator and his partner are treated very well. The woman's experience is treated as a positive, and her enthusiasm helps the narrator along. In turn, the narrator is seen as a fairly well meaning person who only needs a little bit of instruction as opposed to a deficient person for being a virgin. In an era where Slut-Shaming is being questioned more and more, and where a good deal of debate is being had around Virgin-Shaming, a 45-year-old song feels almost refreshing in its discussion of both ends of that spectrum.

Values Resonance / int_d8afd410	comment	Unico: A major theme in the manga is the importance of empathy, compassion, and kindness towards others, including people who don't like you. Unico is a pure-hearted and compassionate unicorn who strongly encourages helping out others, even doing dangerous tasks for his friend's safety. Unico's empathic nature even extends to villains, his solution is taking a non-violent or peaceful approach unless necessary. The manga was released a year after The Vietnam War ended, and the conclusion of The '60s, which was riddled with violence, assassinations, and non-violent protests across the globe, which quickly ended up violent. In recent years, the series has only become more relevant once The New '10s arrived, when society has gotten more divided and suffered from terrorism and the rise of hate crimes. All of this has resulted with people wishing for more love and empathy over hatred. A recurring theme in the franchise is the concern over pollution and damage to the environment. The manga was released between 1976 and 1979, during a period when pollution was at its worst. During the manga's original release, air pollution, industrial waste and industrial pollution were a major concern internationally, with Tezuka being very vocal about his concerns with the environment. The increase of climate change (formerly known as "global warming") and environmental issues becoming a major discussion during the 21th Century have also made the original stories more relevant than its original Japanese release. One of the manga's storylines is an homage to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which has a very progressive story discussing prejudice and racism since it touches on interracial relationships. It also features positive and non-stereotypical depictions of Native Americans where they're treated like ordinary people and speak normally compared to other media of the time featuring indigenous people. The chapter features Unico befriending a young indigenous boy named "Tipi" after he discovers Unico injured from a buffalo stampede. The next day, both Unico and Tipi meet a pretty white girl named Mary who quickly falls in love with Tipi, with Tipi asking Unico to temporarily make them adults to learn about love. However, their parents aren't comfortable about their romantic relationship, with Tipi's father initially being very prejudiced towards white people before meeting her. While Mary was initially scared of visiting Tipi's village, the majority of the tribe aren't judgemental towards her and happily welcomes her to their homes with open arms. Aware of the issues of racism and prejudice, Unico becomes concerned with the duo since they're blinded by love. Unico explains to both Tipi and Mary about the unfairness of people "Judging others by the color of their skin and race, which leads to intense hatred", and how "Prejudice and racism aren't exclusive to white people" after learning they both told their parents. Similar to Sapphire from Princess Knight, Unico is a young boy who's fond of dressing in feminine accessories and wearing makeup. However, he never gets mocked over his appearance in the manga and merchandise. During the 1970s, the idea of men being comfortable wearing female makeup and women's clothing was viewed as very unmanly and viewed from a homophobic viewpoint, outside of jokes and less flattering portrayals of gays. Near the end of The New '10s, society (especially in the West) has slowly started accepting the idea of men fond of crossdressing in media and a few real world locations.

Values Resonance / int_e4032728	comment	Despite all the writing issues with Quest for Camelot, Garett is a surprisingly positive and well-rounded depiction of a disabled protagonist (both for 1998 and nowadays). Although his blindness does have obvious disadvantages, he's not portrayed as a completely helpless and pitiable figure; he's learned to work around his blindess, and he's proactive and largely independent. His being blind also doesn't diminish his appeal as a love interest for Kayley in the slightest. At the same time, the film avoids going down a glurgey Inspirationally Disadvantaged route; Garett's blindness does still occasionally cause problems for him and he feels understandably insecure about it in certain situations (which he initially covers up with stoicism and snark). There's also nothing to suggest he magically gets his eyesight restored in the endingnote despite other characters having their injuries healed, but he still becomes a knight and gets the girl.

Especially in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, when the very wealthy were much more likely to afford treatment and recover than those that weren't wealthy. In the episode "Blood Fever" Tom Paris refuses the advances of a Pon Farr-suffering B'Elanna Torres because she isn't in a state of mind to properly give consent. This has resonated with a lot of viewers with the increased publicity of various sexual assault scandals and the growing awareness of when a person cannot consent to sex. The episode "The Voyager Conspiracy", in which Seven of Nine absorbs months worth of information in a few hours and begins to hold paranoid delusions that both the captain and her second-in-command deliberately stranded the ship in the Delta Quadrant for a sinister purpose, has only gotten more relevant with the passing decades. Not just because real conspiracy theories have only gotten more popular since the episode aired, but because the nature of Seven's malfunction is very on-the-nose in the infobesity age. The end conflict of "Author, Author" surrounded a publisher feeling free to steal the Doctor's holonovel without permission because he is not legally considered a sentient individual. Later real-world experiments with Artificial Intelligence include feeding thousands of pieces of art, from paintings to novels, to a computer and being able to spontaneously create new art through piecing together that content through different tags. Some AI films have been made through filming the screenplay exactly as made (which are nonsensical), while AI digital art have won awards under the belief it was made by a human. This has caused some debate on the validity of the art and possible copyright infringement when it just slightly modifies an existing piece. Furthermore, potential stories and scripts written by AI is one of the many contentious issues that led to the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA both going on strike in 2023.

Values Resonance / int_ef4fd083	comment	The Brave Little Toaster: The intended satire of the cutting edge appliances isn't lost to time. With technological advancement happening faster than ever and average consumers relying more and more on technology, things that are state of the art become obsolete faster and faster, with some being incapable of doing their intended job without extensive, expensive upgrades (this is known as "planned obsolescence" and was a major theme in the sequel). The new appliances eventually going out of style despite their bragging was inevitable and intentional, but it's safe to bet that the filmmakers didn't know how much worse it would become in the ensuing decades. Rob/The Master not only wants to continue using older but still reliable appliances instead of buying new ones, but goes to the trouble of repairing the toaster after it's most likely been mangled beyond use, just because he believes in getting as much use out of it as possible without having to buy a new one (and considering his success, he probably knows how to do that with all of the appliances, meaning they'll be around for quite a while). From an emotional standpoint, it shows he appreciates them as much as they appreciate him, but from a practical standpoint, he's wisely avoiding the vicious cycle of buying things only to eventually throw them away, thus preventing pollution through mass consumption. Today, using things like appliances for as long as they're functional or buying them secondhand is often promoted as a useful, even fun, way of undoing the negative effects of pollution (up to and including climate change) while also saving money, which makes Rob not only look more compassionate but more responsible as a result. Related to the above entry: Rob wanting to keep and repair his old appliances continues to be an admirable trait with the concept of "Right to Repair" being a hot topic in the 2010s-20s. Rob and Chris being an interracial couple without it defining them as characters. While real-life interracial relationships are significantly less taboo than they were in the past (this movie came out only twenty years after Loving vs. Virgina, mind you), depictions thereof (especially ones that don't make it an issue in one way or another) are still a rarity in mainstream movies, let alone animated ones.

For years she was dismissed as a shallow character who abandons her home for a guy she barely knows — but there has been a considerable backlash to Slut-Shaming and bad faith criticism towards a female character's flaws. Nowadays, many fans have come to Ariel's defence for her display of a three-dimensional personality — someone who is flawed and makes mistakes, but still has a lot of virtues and an active role in her story. What also helps is that she is a teenager who has to put up with King Triton's downright abusive nature, and that her abandoning of her home was the result of him going too far and driving her towards the manipulations of Ursula.

Values Resonance / int_fa738078	comment	There are those who claim that Sailor Moon is outdated, with it having been created in the very early nineties, but it contains several concepts that remain timeless even after its conception: There was a lesbian pairing portrayed in a sympathetic light (Haruka and Michiru), and the villainous gay couple from the anime loved each other deeply despite their alignment (Zoicite and Kunzite). The girls themselves had all kinds of different personalities and were still friends in spite of how different they were. They also encouraged each other's goals note e.g. when Minako tells Yaten in the anime that even when her top priority was her Sailor Guardian mission and protecting Usagi, she still was a girl with a dream and Usagi herself told her to pursue it. and supported each other when needed instead of throwing each other under the bus for their own benefits (and the girls who did it weren't supposed to be in the right). On a related note, all of the Sailor Guardians' individual personality traits often bust up stereotypes as well. For instance, the character who states her dream is to "be a bride" in the manga, Makoto, is also a black belt in judo and one of the physically and mentally strongest characters in the Sailor Moon universe. And Michiru, the Yamato Nadeshiko Elegant Classical Musician, is all but stated to actually be the one with the reins in her and Haruka's relationship. The series emphasizes the importance of female friendship and sisterhood, something that many female-centric series including ones that attempt to be feminist, still struggle to capture to this day as the opposite is more common. Mamoru helped them, but he also needed help and protection from Usagi and the girls. In fact, he needed more rescue than Usagi herself! And while he sometimes worried a lot about Usagi's safety (to Idiot Ball levels in R), he didn't do it out of manly pride but out of sincere concern. The manga, in paticular, also frequently makes a point of showing that both Usagi and Mamoru sincerely wants to protect the other as a expression of their love. The manga in particular emphasizes that Usagi is a sexual person and has had sex with her boyfriend Mamoru to the point of being shown lying naked in bed with him on several occasions, but she's never portrayed as dirty for this or that it somehow disqualifies her from being both the hero and the epitome of Incorruptible Pure Pureness, with her sexuality simply being a part of the larger picture of who she is. She's also shown to be absolutely head over heels in love with several girls (including Rei, who gives her literal heart eyes when they first meet) but again, it's simply a part of who she is.

"The Measure Of A Man": Data fighting for his right to bodily autonomy, and against being subjected to surgery against his will, has been taken in more recent years as an easily fitting analogy for abortion rights as well as transgender and non-binary rights. Notably, Maddox's insistence on referring to Data as "it" for most of the episode has been compared to misgendering a trans person. The episode "The Outcast" explored sexual orientation through a monogendered race, and their society is very strict on any individual who deviates from their norm. While the episode got flak for other issues (all of the monogender aliens were portrayed by women, making it seem more like militant lesbians harassing a heterosexual traitor), it took on new life as the in-show outrage over the violation of individual rights still hit hard and the sci-fi analogy made it applicable to many sexual orientation and transgender issues beyond its original intention. The TNG two-part episode "Unification" has Spock traveling to Romulus and helping a youth movement trying to restore peaceful ties between the Romulans and Vulcans. Nowadays, it isn't hard to compare Spock with politicians like Bernie Sanders in the US or Jeremy Corbyn in the UK, or for that matter progressive Trek actors like George Takei, as elder statesmen who strike a chord with younger activists hoping to make their world better. Spock's last lines to Picard still resonate thanks to the populist wave of The New '10s.
