Actually it's not easy to find people left of me politically.
I'm pretty far left. And I support PC in real life wholeheartedly. But sometimes I like different stories and ideas in my fiction. Stories and ideas that have nothing to do with how I think and act in real life. Ideas that would be condemned in real life, that I myself would condemn in real life. Like abusive romances, slave-master relationships shown in positive light, all-male protagonists, submissive female characters etc. Why I enjoy such things in fiction, who knows. I didn't grow up with those ideas and they have never been part of my life in the real world. Possibly that's the reason I like to read about them. They're alien for me and therefore interesting.
Strictly in fiction, of course.
