...they won't understand that for decades Playboy was one of the major outlets for writers of progressive, and in fact all types, of political and social commentary. It's become a lot more progressive since Christie Hefner took over the editor's job from her father, to the point where I dropped my subscription. The photography was just as good, but the constant editorializing was annoying. That having been said, there's been a lot of damn good fiction (mainstream and SF) published in Playboy over the years. In fact, for most of its existence the magazine has been an interesting combination of Esquire and GQ with extraordinarily well-done photography, which is why I think it survived while the cruder Penthouse and such went bankrupt.
