Shocker that he is a Christian & a conservative republican.- People that work at Disneyland are allowed tattoos, "inclusive uniforms" and "inclusive haircuts" so the Disney immersion is broken.
- It was fine when Walt Disney used his corporation to express patriotism during WW2 and pro-capitalism beliefs, but the opposite or any other beliefs are not ok.
- Changing literally any of the rides and stuff in any way ruins his Disney experience.
Edit:
Just found out the other day that my cousin has a cat named ‘Sambo.’ This was a running joke in my family for generations, multiple members on my mother’s side of the family had dogs or cats named after the character ‘Little Black Sambo.’ Thought my generation out a stop to such nonsense, but racism in Mississippi still runs deep.hate to laugh but oh my god is that ever horrible. I reckon that many Americans still picture African Americans exactly as they're portrayed there.
Not to mention the Nazi sympathy.

A hilariously riotous bunch, my family.

I'm amazed by the detention differences.Disney has always been steeped in politics. Except it used to be stuff like Song of the South glorifying slavery and the old southern way of life. Or Dumbo, with a jive-talking crow called Jim Crow.
While looking for clips, I came upon this little number. It's not Disney, but it's from the same era. No racism to be found here.
WARNING: SO MUCH RACISM

Oh lordy...
467 former contestants actually signed an open letter about this (and him correctly answering "What is Gypsy" to the question "The Hungarian cimbalom is traditionally associated with the music of these itinerant people")
The way it's reported is shitty too - the headline makes it seem like there's actual validity to the allegations. The original video also left out the fact that he'd made similar hand gestures for his first and second wins:
If it was just that three finger symbol, most likely racist & white supremacist.Tweet

I wonder what is the most inclusive game ever created?Granted these types of articles are now nothing more than just clickbait it's still very funny viewing the 10ft giant vampire lady as a progressive cis white woman.

Doesn’t really fit the centrist dad vibe I’m going for on here but doesn’t that article make a fair point? I’m not big into gaming any more so don’t know if she’s correct to claim that there aren’t any playable female black characters in all those games.

You make your own character in the first of the 3 games shown, they can look however you like. 2nd is an antagonist and fairly unique to be fair. 3rd is fair enough but im not sure they were going for progressive, i think it might be more of a riff on ellen ripley from aliens. They weren't exactly shouting about how progressive they're being with a female lead.Doesn’t really fit the centrist dad vibe I’m going for on here but doesn’t that article make a fair point?

Representation has improved in gaming and dumping on some of the very few popular female characters for being too white seems backward as feck
Capcoms last attempt at representing black people was horrifyingly bad anyway
Resident Evil 5 was pretty cringeyWhich capcom game was that?
It was, but it's a long time ago since I played it so I can barely remember anything about it. Was part of the cringe white man shooting African zombies or simply because it was a poor Resident Evil game?Resident Evil 5 was pretty cringey
A bit of both. Large parts of it were quite good but the later parts of the game were just dodgy. Towns full of people in huts with leaf pants throwing spears at you. It was just after resident evil 4 were they were playing with the idea of them being zombies too. It was pretty jarring.It was, but it's a long time ago since I played it so I can barely remember anything about it.

Perhaps they can make for it with a future Resident Evil game where you play as a black female protagonist who guns down white Maga zombies.A bit of both.

I'm not sure middle aged japanese dudes are best equipped to tell that story. I hope the increased representation in development leads to games like that from elsewhere though. Sheva wasn't a bad character to be fair to them. Probably would have fit RE5 better than Chris Redfield who comes off as quite militaristic and that didn't vibe well with the other stuff going on.Perhaps they can make for it with a future Resident Evil game where you play as a black female protagonist who guns down white Maga zombies.

I have to admit, I don't really put a lot thought into politicization or representation of video games and that's probably because I'm a white male and because it's video games which I don't take very seriously. I don't doubt that the younger you are, where your sense of immersion greater, it would probably be lovely to have more POC protagonists.I'm not sure middle aged japanese dudes are best equipped to tell that story.

Walking dead games probably qualify for that though
Fair enough point about a lack of black women protagonists (Clementine, Alyx Vance and Jade from Beyond Good & Evil is all I can think of really and Jade is kind of racially ambiguous anyway).Granted these types of articles are now nothing more than just clickbait it's still very funny viewing the 10ft giant vampire lady as a progressive cis white woman.

It would but i find the balance is better today.

Someone on twitter made a good point - this is the opposite of a dog whistle, it's a only-humans no-dogs whistle; its supposed targets are picking up on it and his supposed fellow travelers aren't.Regardless of his stated intent, the gesture is a racist dog whistle. Some of the first people to notice this were not affiliated with “Jeopardy!” in any way — they were viewers who couldn’t believe what they’d seen, captured it on video, and shared it to Twitter. Among them were people of color who, needless to say, are attuned to racist messaging
The whole thing is very weird. This was the explanation of the gesture I found on one news outlet.from the letter:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...epwalking-orwellian-restrictions-advertising/The latest announcement – though the idea has been lingering around Whitehall like a bad smell for some time now – is a “junk food” ad ban. There’s much to loathe about this eye-catching policy but let’s focus on its impact on advertising, which is bound to be more marked than its effect on our waistlines. Experts warn that it could come at a cost of £200m per year.
This is an industry that brings considerable benefits to the economy and society: the UK spent over £22bn on advertising in 2019. It generated £8bn of exports, making it the country’s second largest service exporter. It employs around half a million people in the UK, provides one third of TV revenue, two-thirds of press revenue, and sponsors large numbers of social, cultural and sporting institutions.
Won't somebody think of the ... ad agenciesThis praising of junk food in a general broadside on so-called nanny state advertising restrictions is remarkable for its lack of balance.
Trying spending a day in the life in the shoes of a coke-addled, prostitute-abusing millionaire advertising executive for a change.
