It's another, less significant version of pay-to-win. It might be a free game at first glance, but after playing for a few levels it becomes pay-to-win because things would get increasingly harder which forces you to pay.
Most of these are mobile games, as PC game makers would rather charge you, but iirc some takes form of DLCs.
Capitalism, eh?

Ethan: Dude I cannot break this level it is so goddamn hard!
Me: These MMORPGs are pay-to-progress man, if you don't pay, you just can never break this level. Things that are free are the most expensive, you know.

Someone who's incredibly edgy for the reactions they get but is actually progressive and accepting on the inside... when you get to know them. This is in the same vein about how the creators of South Park are very liberal but use derogatory humor to express their views and get a reaction.
Friend 1: "Did Joey seriously make a 9/11 joke then make an explosion noise?"
Friend 2: "Ya, but he's a South Park progressive. He likes to be offensive but actually has very liberal views despite his humor."

This slang term coined in the 2020s has two different common uses.
It is mainly used in the context of an activity or goal that has not yet succeeded, but is fated to succeed and is currently in progress. A "success in progress".
Most often, the term is used in the romantic world when someone is fumbling major bitches but is in denial at how hard they're fumbling, saying the fumble is just a "success in progress". Usually not kissing someone you have pinned against the wall when they say you should have is a fumble, not a success in progress. But users of the phrase often use the term on these obvious fumbles, creating a sort of paradox between the actual meaning of the word and its most popular usage.

Maximillion: "yeah dawg you fumbled hard, you had one job."

Progression fetish refers to a pattern of attraction or romantic interest in individuals who are at a further stage in life than the person they attract.
While correlated with financial status, age or power dynamics, it can go against it, since it usually happens as a result of simply perceiving the person as a source of general purpose in pursuing your aspirations.
