"I would never jeopardize the beans" pales in comparison to it's newest successor, "beans r not woke. How could u do this?"

anything that contains the phrase “secret BBC memo reveals” intrigues me automatically ngl but I want you all to know that as far as I can gather, the facts are even better than this headline
which is to say, this was part of an initiative in the early 1970s that not only featured marginalized groups on BBC programming, but made moves towards handing them editorial control – the BBC had to approve proposals, but after that, the station’s role was primarily to provide technical resources, facilities, and copyright handling. (another notable program under this initiative featured Black teachers discussing racism in the school system, and a link to that – plus discussion of the hurdles it faced – can be found here).
the program on trans experience was aired in 1973.
The programme, featuring trans women, began: “Jokes about ‘the operation’ are all that most people know about transexualism [sic]. Tonight’s group discuss their situation in a more serious and comprehensive way, and draw attention to the many difficulties they endure”.
you can watch Open Door: Transex Liberation Group here (as well as other archived LGBTQ programming from BBC).

I find that in general the urge toward moral panic and moral crusade is just not as present and immanent in here in Japan the way it is in the US, and in fact a lot of the jp-language internet considers the anglphone internet writ-large to be a bunch of uptight, repressed, judgemental freaks

In recent years there's been a ton of manga that parody dating sims, and the story they're parodying tends to follow the same patterns.
It usually goes that the main protagonist is a young commoner girl who attends a prestigious magic academy, where several capture targets include the three sons of the king, and there's a villainess who's engaged with the crown prince and stands in her way. I've seen this same setup parodied in dozens of different manga and even some anime, usually by changing the dynamic around the villainess, but what's interesting is... I can't find what dating sim this setup originates from?
It's almost as if this nebulous idea of Parodying A Dating Sim just spawned out of nowhere, and now the manga artists are all parodying one another. The protagonist is the villainess, the protagonist is dating the villainess, the protagonist wants to become the villainess, the protagonist accidentally killed the villainess. What's going on here? It's some kind of villainess bubble, but I have no idea what real life dating sim, if any, all of this is parodying. It's like how most fantasy RPG manga tend to parody Dragon Quest, but if Dragon Quest didn't actually exist. It's baffling
