I'm surprised the guy thinks that the first one was good and not woke shit.

That's just brilliant

Comic books trying to be overly P.C. or a welcome addition of diversity and inclusivity to this universe?
I think as long as a lot of people complain about Robin being bisexual, it's a welcome addition.
The boy wonders.
If there's one character that we all knew was political rather than heterosexual, then surely it would be Robin.
He's still fooling himself. Sad.
Batman and Robin are gay as anything anyway. One strapping chap dressed in PVC and leather and his twink sidekick. Camp as Christmas.
Loki got there first. Thus reinforcing DC’s inferiority.
Children's book The Tiger Who Came To Tea 'could lead to rape and harassment' because it reinforces gender inequality that causes violence against women, campaigner claims

The Mail is such an evil, shit-stirring rag.
Both these quotes from the same article.
Also. Any excuse to post this.

The DM is certainly playing to the galleries, but stuff like that does detract from the broader push for a more tolerant society. It was two female colleagues I'm in a chat with that sent the link saying 'this is not helpful'.
I think the idea that you can highlight the very traditional gender roles when discussing the story with kids is fine. Taking issue with the gender of the tiger seems a bit mental though.
Yeah I guess it's less obvious what gender a tiger is compared to a lion and I'd never even considered it. The book was written in the 1960s, which she seems to forget, when criticising the dad being out at work while the mum is at home. I'm sure the parent can use their discretion to explain that if they felt the need.I just read it yesterday finally. It doesn't come across as forced really in terms of trying to be PC. There was room in defining this character that this storyline actually fit and wasn't a retcon exactly. They can use it to give him a unique deeper background than the "middle" robin really.
They could discuss how a male tiger that comes across a female with cubs fathered by a different male will kill and eat the cubs and then shag their mother.
And also show that video of a tiger killing a giant crocodile, that's a really good one.

Eh, that article doesn't really say what the rando on Twitter says it does. Blade Runner has a dystopian setting by any measure, and whether or not it's related to anti-immigration sentiment in any way (I doubt it), it does focus on multiculturalism.
Maybe I'm misreading it but the article take on E.T(Has a opposite message to Blade runner, it shows ''beings from elsewhere are gentle and benign. The really awful people are the the present adult white american inhabitants'')along with saying that Scott clearly had in his mind the possibility of cultural disaster is kinda of trying to paint Blade Runner as anti immigration.
Didn't know whether to put this in the Political Corectness thread or the Cop one.

Good man. Let those poor republicans hate brown people in peace. They have feelings too you know.
Not sure it's really one for this thread, but not sure where else to put it. Bit of a stretch to try and bill it as 'informative'.

How can you be an ex-rapist?
Why would anyone think that's a good idea?
Don't think you can, it's not a profession like a plumber. Should have been introduced as a convicted rapist really.
I suppose the same as an ex smoker. Maybe he thought that it was bad for his health and that he’d give up.
This deserved way more love.
'BAME local' is a charming descriptor. They make it sound almost like an occupation.

I thought the mural literally said “Welcome to Our White Town”. Which would have been a baller move.

Yeah well where I work summer is mostly in Q4 so stop discriminating against me Lara you anti-fiscal-industry bitch.
So is this satire? I'm not sure anymore.
A little bit with the 36 gender stuff yeah. If you want me to call you he/she/they, fine. I’m not calling you one of the made up ones though.
Thank god the seasons aren't binary.
Even the he/she/they stuff is made up, it's madness!
