Originally posted by SurturI'm not sure different strokes would get made today, as a teen of the same age, I quite fancied the girl who died of a drug overdose on that.
Those shows could never get made today.Hell even back then they tried to censor shows like that, called it "family hour censorship". But they went to court, etc. and prevailed.
Originally posted by ImpedimentYeah, I don't see Blazing Saddles as a hate film at all. Mel Brooks is a jew isn't he?
Blazing Saddles has recently been the subject of PC snowflake YouTubers and how it's a "hate film".Like, they didn't even see the film if they call it a hate film.
It's about overcoming hate and being friends.

Show them the movie "Soul Man" with C. Thomas Howell. Make sure a couch is nearby for them to faint on.
Wait no, let them just faint onto the floor.
So wait, looking into more detail on JK Rowling's new book...the new book is about a detective going after a serial killer who is a man who dresses up as a woman and targets women specifically.
The character is being called a transvestite not transgender, even in articles crying about it. Some of these same articles highlight the backlash from trans people though so I guess transgender people are craving something to get outraged over.
I don't see the issue, also since the killer goes after just women why isn't the book being slammed for misogyny too?
These cry baby articles do delightfully show her other "anti trans" stuff in books. Like in a different book with the same detective where he says to an actual transgender person that prison will be hard for them "especially pre op". Oh and I guess just the fact this actual trans person is villainous is also transphobic.
Lol.

"Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners." -George Carlin#RIPJKRowking is trending. She’s not dead, but her career may be after she dared to voice her civil and non-hostile opinion. Now she’s being turned into a pariah by lunatics who’s senses of reality are as distorted as a Pablo Picasso painting.
And the people who are frothing at the mouth and clamoring for her career’s demise, the “Woke Brigade”, they’re nastier and more viciously intolerant than anyone they preach about.
One person’s rights and opinions don’t end where another persons level of offense begins, you know?
FYI, anyone who knows me knows that I'm absolutely NOT anti-trans or transphobic. I'm simply trying to convey my opinion of fascist people demanding that everyone think like them for fear of being turned into an intolerant monster of a human. It's bullshit.
This level of thinking and rationale are, in my civil opinion, extremely dangerous and counterproductive.
Just because I disagree with you doesn't mean I hate you. We need to relearn this in our society.
What are your thoughts?
None of this happens in a vaccume.
Every time I see woke brigades or reports of trending mobs, I have to ask who's backing them?
Nothing trends by accident. They're the result of someone making a decision, and pushing a narrative. You don't see 4chan posts trend, for example though their number of posts possibly outnumber your average community.
So who's promoting this stuff? Who decided woke is in? What's their motivation? Do they really feel the majority public is woke as ****? Or do they feel wokeness is reality tv bait, and your average person gets drawn to it for the same reason they watch Big Brother?
Or is the Alt Right "right", about media moguls abusing their positions to promote a political ideology?
Personally, I think media people just want to make money, and would promote Republican values in an instant if that paid more, just like they did in the 1960's and 50's.

Ah, so the snowflakes were lying about the character being trans. why must the crybabies also be liars?
It's a cult, they live in a different reality because they call it transphobic and then acknowledge it's not a transgender person. And everybody knows when they apply the term transphobic to Rowling they are talking about transgender people and this is being categorized as another attack on them.
J.K. Rowling Proves Her Commitment to Transphobia in Her New Novel
"According to an early review in The Telegraph, Troubled Blood—the fifth installment in Rowling’s Cormoran Strike series written under the pen name Robert Galbraith—deals with the cold case of a woman who disappeared in 1974 and is believed to be the victim of Dennis Creed, “a transvestite serial killer.” (Transvestite is considered an outdated and derogatory term for cross-dressing, which is not the same as being trans.) The review goes on to say, “One wonders what critics of Rowling’s stance on trans issues will make of a book whose moral seems to be: never trust a man in a dress.”
I realize the people who write the articles don't always choose the headlines, but sheesh.
