The foremost puzzler is how you can even discuss it. And that it is not taken for-granted immediately that television does not exist to transmit reality, nor the established internet.

The ‘Man Men’ thing is creepily interesting, it is somehow coinciding with the observably greater incidence of people referring to television shows as if they were ‘history’.
(Similar to referring to Wikepedia as anything other than as ‘information’ reality show @ Isegoria).

This phenomenon is far more troubling than a non event such as a retro television show not using period correct language. This just builds upon the underlying assumption, which should, in intelligent company, be considered insane.
