So you only want to make fun of black people? You are disgusting Tory.

They've said it was based on this picture
I've actually never seen Spitting Image so I don't know what the other puppets look like.

Should be able to make fun of anyone It's comedy.
The Sunak one is slightly off in the skin and overly broad frontal features but it has enough recognisable features to get a pasd. The Patel one is fine.
He always looks like he is trying to work out who farted.
Even there I'm immediately drawn to the elongated eyes. Those and the cheeks would be the obviously identifiable features to exaggerate. It's hack shit work and lazily racist.
Boris still has him beat on lip size.
From Googling to see the other puppets I see there was 'Twitter is outraged' stories last year too, with Kanye and Meghan Markle puppets.

The Greta one is pretty good at least.
Big noses and thick lips everywhere. Shocking racism against Germans.
The features they choose to exaggerate fit a particular stereotype, and those exaggerated features are not very applicable to Rashford. Southgate’s features are exaggerated, and ridiculous, but they’re applicable to him as an individual not as a stereotype. Do you think that’s just a minor distinction?They over exaggerate certain features. Take a look at Southgate's nose. There's nothing racist about it.
Look at Boris Johnson's lips and nose. Are they that big in real life? No of course there not. Your just looking for something to be offended by.
You never even asked if I was offended. You just made the assumption. That’s one of the most ridiculous aspects of the cries of “cancel culture”. I didn’t try to cancel it nor did I claim offence. I just made an observation. Their caricature of Rashford is shit. It isn’t good comedy. It’s lazy. That’s all.Look at Boris Johnson's lips and nose. Are they that big in real life?

I don't like the depiction of Rashford because it makes him look like Purple Aki. Being even handed though, it's better than how Frank Bruno was depicted:
Okay so these kinds of thing always over exaggerates facial features. What would you over exaggerate on Macrus Rashford?
Doesn’t even look that much like him
Is that supposed to be Tyrone Mings?
It's a shit caricature that looks nothing like him and veers uncomfortably close to racist portrayals of black people.
This is not right. Our Rashford is beautiful.Don't know if this is the right thread for this.
but they made him much darkerThey over exaggerate certain features. Take a look at Southgate's nose. There's nothing racist about it.
is that a ‘feature’ of Marcus Rashford?
Those lips also aren't an exaggerated version of Rashford's, they're just straight out of racial stereotypes.
The biggest surprise here is that Spitting Image is still going. It was kind of funny 30 years ago but humour has moved on a hell of a lot since then.
That’s a rubbish caricature of Rashford because it looks nothing like him. The skin tone is wrong but that can look different depending which photo you look at. The most obvious error is giving him both lips the same size. He’s actually got quite a thin top lip. So it’s definitely a lazy, poorly done caricature. Like they didn’t even look closely at what he looks like before making the puppet. Accusing them of being racist is a stretch though.

saying it might be racist isn't much of a stretch though, is it?
I mean, if it was your job to draw a cartoon of a black footballer in 2021, you'd think you'd be careful enough with the details to not to give him a fat top lip if he doesn't have one, or make him look darker than most of his photos.. for obvious reasons
The lack of care is bizarre when you read the article above about how they have to be particularly careful in caricaturing black people. So they do seem to be conscious of the line they’re treading. Hence I’m willing to assume they’re well intentioned.
The nature of caricature means they’re going to come up with grotesque puppets that some people find offensive. The Southgate one looks like straight up antisemitic propaganda.
Fair play to Matt Damon for denying a story he willingly told about himself. Cancel that, you little PC slugs.
dababy getting cancelled left right and center. He finally issued an apology but it might be over for him.
I mean, it's the 21st century. We have all kinds of information at our fingertips. There's no excuse for that kind of ignorance anymore. Has this feckwit ever heard of Eazy-E?Hard to take a man calling himself 'Dababy' seriously.
He's using freedom of expression as justification because he's a rapper.
Maybe because his brain isn't fully developed yet ..
Never even heard of him until now.
Leave him alone you horrible lot. The baby is on one of these mystical journeys of self discovery we keep hearing about, he's finally had an opportunity to learn and grow, to confront his tortured self and wage war with his inner demons.
He should be cancelled for the lack of wit that he demonstrated. Even if you put aside the content of his monologue, the rhythm and vocabulary were extremely poor.
Yep. All these so called rappers these days. Dua Lipa was the first to remove herself from the equation. He collaborated with her for "Levitating" I think. Such bad taste.
Interestingly that particular attitude is extremely prevalent in that group (American male rappers).
Apparently, according to Twitter at least, below was his initial response now deleted

Not the sharpest tool in the box.
No doubt Elton will rehabilitate him and duet at some awards like he did with Axl Rose and Eminem.
Telling someone to suck your dick is homophobic now?
Sadly, it is. It's so unnecessary though. Most of them are so talented and will still be if they don't adapt that attitude. It partially has to do with what they think will sell records.
Think he's trying to make a joke of it.
That’s definitely what he’s doing. I’m struggling to see the homophobia he needs to apologise for though?
just incredible
That's not why they are cancelling him though. I think he said something like, everyone get your camera out except gay people with aids. Or something charming like that.
