Political and Progressive aren't the same to me. Hence why I have no respect for any loud mouth who yells "Woke" anytime a woman, LGBTQ+ Person, or POC shows up. Political to me is looking at a issue and either directly addressing it or addressing thru allegory which Classic Who did regularly and New Who seldom done.
Adding POC, LGBTQ+, & Women isn't political IMO it's right.
