D.A.F.C Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm annoyed that mighty boosh and league of gentleman got cancelled from Netflix because some white person decided that a clown was somehow racist.Did anyone ever think that was a portrayal of a black face and not a clown/circus guy?I can see the arguement for little Britain but even then just stop being butthurt on other people's behalf.They ripped the pish out of scottish folk as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you could not do that and continue to be annoyed that you can't watch a very specific programme on a very specific streaming channel and then bore the rest of us to death on here with your "HOW IS THIS FAIR?" pish. You seem the one that is most "butthurt" here. You're utterly relentless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some consumers have decided not to buy her books because they disagree with her frankly abhorrent trolling and bullying of a minority community. The idea that people cannot choose to not consume someone’s art because of their views is absurd. Playing down JK Rowling’s opinions as ‘one utterance,’ massively downplays her consistent attacks, only today she is peddling retransitioning as if it is a common thing, where in actual fact .5% of transgender people will look to do so. She is a massive bigot whether she’s an ‘obnoxious c**t,’ or not. Suggest you look in a mirror. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It wasn't 'one utterance' with JK Rowling though she's well along the Linehan path of turning her brain into sewage 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I’m sorry, there’s probably a perfectly valid debate about ‘cancel culture’ to be had. ’Whether JK Rowling is a horrible transphobic bigot’ isn’t a debate - she quite simply, and openly, is one. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farage has stood for election to the House of Commons in 5 general elections and 2 by-elections and has lost every single fucking one of them. If the people in his constituency don't want to hear his views, why are they forced on the rest of the nation? How much of a platform do actual, elected Green MPs/MSPs get in the press? Fucking none. So this "democracy deserves to hear from everyone" line is absolute nonsense. Because FPTP is pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the Mighty Boosh episode is the one with the jazz guy who pretends to be Howard’s father/second cousin twice removed. It is black face. No question about it, even if there’s no malice it’s still a white guy dressed up as a black man, ergo black face. It may or may not be racist, but to broadcast it is totally tone deaf. And, of course, a non issue that even the writers and actors involved aren’t complaining about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what your centrist da’s like Pandarilla and JTS think, free ‘speech’ applies to both those speaking and those offering the platform. The idea that fascists should be given a platform because they will lose the debate is absolutely fanciful, giving fascists a platform leads to radicalisation. I wonder if the reaction would be the same were it suggested we should give Abu Hamza a seat on question time? BuT fREe SpeECh, bEAt tHeM wITh DEbaTE!!!

I think that was the start of it, but she’s recently been comparing gender confirmation surgery to gay conversion therapy, amongst other things. In any case, “people who menstruate” and “women” aren’t synonyms of each other. Edited July 10, 2020 by oneteaminglasgow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I read the poster talking about a hairy transgender guy using unisex toilets and this Individual popped into my mind. Very strange indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
