Arrow went SJW the moment Felicity took over the show.

Sometime around S3 or S4 I think. Flash and Supergirl were always SJW-ish, but Supergirl went extreme since S2.

S3 was where I'd say the seeds were being planted and became fairly noticeable towards the end and S4 the whole show turned from Arrow to 'Felicity Smoak and her Amazing Friends'. It was totally centered on her and the other far better characters got pushed aside or killed off like Laurel. It's like the producers just gave up on trying and just decided to pander to the 'Olicity' shippers and the rest of the Tumblr and Twitter crowd.

I can see Flash going further down the path of Supergirl because so far the forced political messaging haven't felt *that* forced and the show is mostly boring these days, so I can imagine them trying to pull something heavy to gain attention.

Supergirl S1 wasn't great(Lots of cheese, but most of it digestible) but it was an at least entertaining superhero show that families could watch together and enjoy, ever since it moved to The CW they've been pushing really heavy topics which really do not feel organic to the story and are not at all being subtle with their presentation. Last season touched upon transgenderism, now they could've approached this in a way where similarities to such were there but still keep a very accessible message around a fantastical character that would still engage viewers of most age groups, political parties, and faith but instead they went all-in and risked dividing a large portion of their viewers as the topic is very divisive amongst many folk and adult viewers who watch the program with their children may feel it is not appropriate for a family type of series. Jessica Jones S3 had a trans performer playing her secretary, it was better handled there than in Supergirl because A) the program is for mature audiences not for all ages and B) they didn't need to point out to anyone that they were trans or that they were flawless and demanding respect because they were that way. They just wrote them as a person and anyone else could have been in the same position. Not to say nothing was alluded whatsoever but they were tiny and delivered in tiny bits of dialog which explain everything.
