Yeah, that's really a vibe in most 90s media. I was rewatching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air a few years ago, and the way the show, through the character of Hilary, portrays causes like environmentalism and animal rights as naive idealism for clueless people is so quintessentially 90s. Basically saying ”lol, look at these kooks who care about these minor imperfections, don't they realize how good we have it now?”.
I have to say the show tackled some heavy subject matter like cop racism in a way I didn't really remember from my original watching years ago.
That keep happening over the 00's too. In Harry Potter everyone makes fun of Hermione because she wants to free the slaved elves, of in community where the blonde woman (Rita?) Is the sjw for laughs

I think it was RenegadeCut who covered sitcoms dealing with police brutality and damn those Fresh Prince episodes stand out. Particularly with Carlton
