What you are seeing from playboy is a common phenomenon called "rolling left and dying".   When a magazine/website/newspaper gets to the end of its financial life and the writing is on the wall, the editors and writers typically go full SJW. It could be a nudie magazine, tech magazine, nature magazine, doesn't matter. They start posting articles about transgenders, slander white American values, publish endless fuck drumpf bullshit. By &  4810  quot;rolling left" it makes the staff of the failing publication a hero to the media in-crowd and ensures that they get employment offers after whatever publication they are working for folds. This is why the cycle never seems to end, leftists are truly parasitic and move from host to host.
