That too, though... I dunno, it also feels like a slight stretch to equate "fictional characters kissing" with safety. Though I do agree that the "if you're not with us, you're against us!" rhetoric that became common in the wake of 9/11 seems more acceptable now among the young folks, perhaps because they don't remember life before it.
I didn't mean to say that left-wing folks can't be just as douchey. (I mean, I have run into quite a few people who I'm pretty sure would be happy Nazis, should Nazi-dom be associated with queerness, kink, and polyamory.)
