On and on and on. These are not obscure references. This is lock stock and barrel mainstream pop culture, much of it more recent that OP’s childhood. And none of it would fly now. Things change.

You can’t blame anyone for not being a complete alien untethered to their own time, place, and community. We’re not living now by whatever code is likely to be regarded as decent and moral 100 years from now.

Not only can you not blame them. There is no moral fault at all in any of this. I for one wish we could go back to a time when everyone wasn’t so sensitive. But carry on with your totalitarian dystopia. It’ll be super enjoyable for everyone.
