progress

Progress isn't removing anything that offends a group, such as Confederate flags or statues. Progress is when their presence, or the presence of a statue or flag of an otherwise opposing group (such as Martin Luther King) no longer trigger violence. Until then, no progress has been made, people are only pretending their hatred disappeared by erasing their past or covering it up, pretending that it doesn't exist along with any and all negative feelings (rather than expressing them fully).

Never trust someone that pretends they have no negative feelings, or that erasing all external signs of them is progress, since these are the biggest cynics you will ever meet. Not everybody has to pretend to be an optimist all the time about everything, since there is reason not to be sometimes.

Progressive Anime Girl Obsession

Progressive Anime Girl Obsession (PAGO) is when someone constantly becomes heavily attached or obsessed with an anime girl for a short period of time only to switch to a different anime girl repeatedly.

Some symptoms include constantly thinking about or imagining oneself in fantasies with the character, searching for and downloading a large amount of artwork, and talking about the character too much around friends.

PAGO can commonly be found in people with high emotional capacity or those who relate or attach easily to new characters. It can also be sexually driven among those who consume a surplus of hentai or other Japanese erotic art.

Zack: Yeah.. he has a really bad case of Progressive Anime Girl Obsession

passive progressive

A term developed by Red Letter Media, referring specifically to a media company that celebrates liberal ideas (such as diversity, tolerance, or pro-LGBT rhetoric) exclusively when and where it benefits them but not going all in as to also profit from countries that censor those messages. This can be done in ways such as adding a pro-LGBT scene that can be easily edited out for the localization in China, Russia, or another country that would censor liberal messages.

Disney's decision to add two lesbians kissing on camera in The Rise of Skywalker was endearing, but ultimately a passive progressive tactic since the scene was edited out in China and Russia.

Coca-cola's decision to support the end of Apartheid in South Africa appeared passive progressive to many detractors. Until, that is, they pulled all holdings out of South Africa - sacrificing profits to stand in solidarity with the protestors.
