Why is fandom so liberal?

Has anyone here ever seriously pondered this question? Watching the Dragon*Con Sci-Fi listserv periodically spasm in fits of "I'm more liberal/aware/feminist than you are" in reaction to the announcement that Joss Whedon will direct Wonder Woman has reminded me of it- and has made me rather grateful once again that, through shiny leftist goggles, I am a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal channeling the god of war! war! war! regardless of what I might actually say and thus don't have to worry about maintaining an appropriate self-righteousness.

'Cause liberals engaged in a "i'm a bigger moonbat than you" are usually attention-seeking teens who have found a comfy place to rebel or college kids who took academia waaay too close to heart and need a place to strut their stuff, thus outshouting the sane liberals who don't need to do a virtual penii size check on aisle 3.

And what's wrong with channeling the god of war? He kicks ass. Literally. ^_^ Drinks Sam Adams, from what I hear, and according to the former Playgirl editor, is awesome in bed.
