the vast majority of people realize what's going on if an IP starts rambling on about freedom, Jesus, or the thin blue line.

The less subtle ones, yeah. There are more subtle ones, too.

Meanwhile up until recently that wasn't really true with liberal pandering, and it still isn't in a lot of spaces.

Maybe we're just in different spaces then. There's a reason "bury your gays" is a trope, and it's not because the lgbt community ate it up. (For the unaware, it's similar to "the black guy always dies first" but for gay people.)

The only time I've heard of "bury your gays" was Voltron, which IMO was a good series that was murdered by a fandom that resented it for not being their personal self insert fan fiction.

I recommend you read up on it then. You might find it interesting.
