Fiction has come a long way in terms of racial, sexual, and cultural sensitivity and general political correctness since the era of [[FlashGordon Emperor Ming]] -- but every once in awhile, you notice something that makes you wonder how it got past the censors.

Sometimes, this involves a trope from the old days, transplanted into a ScienceFiction or Fantasy setting, with a civilized race and a barbarian race. Other times, it's something where the writers started with an innocuous idea and went off in an interesting direction without realizing it.

A few of the more glaring are listed below. See also ValuesDissonance, when the authors wouldn't even have the same sensitivities as the audience in the first place. If you came here looking for unfortunate implications of the NightmareFuel variety, rather than the accidental offenses against cultural sensitivities with which ''this'' trope concerns itself, see FridgeHorror.

[[folder: Important Note: ]]
Just because a work has UnfortunateImplications does ''not'' mean the author was thinking of it that way. In fact, that's the point of it being ''unfortunate''. So, please, no {{Justifying Edit}}s about "what the authors really meant." Whether the creator meant it that way or not is a moot point.
