Ad preaching - there is engaging with the thing and there is preaching the thing. Like, yeah, majority of the complains about "diversity" is rooted in sexism, racism or homophobia and it is not even hidden.

But then I have characters having mini speech about female equality or power, in a weird situation, while the very same character is not even written to be competent adult woman. That is preaching. They could write competent medieval woman or gay, acting capable and mature within the context they are in. But instead, they make them stereotype and then slap a speech on it.

Like, yeah, quite a lot of what people call "neutral past" was conservative preaching and not even hidden. But like, the preaching currently absolutely does happen.
