Rosalina was first pitched because he wanted a princess character who plays a role other than getting kidnapped. unironically Miyamoto is woke (tho it doesn't show much because he's weirdly stubborn on "Mario shouldn't have a deep story" so there"s... not much writing to go by. but yeah.)

And while *technically* Tolkien and Lewis would be right wing in the most general sense, their own brands of conservatism are wildly different than what's in fashion now
It gives me some understanding at least for the kind of decline that likely *did* affect civs in previous eras - where ppl like my stepdad meant something like 'being too gay' wrt Rome, Greece
i suppose it sorta makes sense if a person believes they live in a fallen, decaying world they would, uh... play the role accordingly
With the caveat that I think the cynical mode leaks into everything - otherwise, you *might* be left behind
It's not a fully formed thought, but also seems to play into the very common attitude that engaging in civics meaningfully is *that guy's* problem
