    Good lord no, playboy was always super misogynistic. Hugh Hefner was MASSIVELY problematic lol.

      I won’t defend Hefner, but the articles genuinely were (and are) as far to the left as you’ll see in any widely circulated publication. Being associated with porn gave them cover to write whatever they wanted.
