pongo Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) Just a few TV shows which the content producers themselves quite understandably no longer feel confident standing behind. Edited October 14, 2021 by pongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered that is the reason why we have to have these barmy rules and laws now? Because some dickheads think it’s banter? Sheesh. Don’t be so stupid , that never happens , I never said it and you know it never happens or is even threatened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In it, the Major uses highly offensive language, and Cleese's Basil Fawlty declares "don't mention the war". UKTV said it expected to reinstate the show with "extra guidance" in "the coming days". Quote series creator and star Tina Fey addressed the episodes in question, which aired between 2008 and 2012. "As we strive to do the work and do better in regards to race in America, we believe that these episodes featuring actors in race-changing makeup are best taken out of circulation," she wrote. Quote On Twitter, series co-creator and star Matt Lucas wrote, "David [Walliams] and I have both spoken publicly in recent years of our regret that we played characters of other races. Once again we want to make it clear that it was wrong and we are very sorry." A significant proportion of shows are being either taken off by the people who produced them, or, where appropriate, being reinstated with the context of the time. You will find articles by people of colour decrying just pulling shows willy-nilly. However, you also see articles decrying the concept of ironic racism, something featuring in some of the recent shows that had episodes pulled. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/jul/24/no-joke-ironic-racism-in-comedy-is-just-not-funny-little-britain-borat Quote The stagecraft of ironic racism is one that invites a nominally well-educated and bourgeois audience to ridicule and belittle the apparently inherent racism of less well-educated, working-class and socially marginalised groups. This allows comedians and actors to “safely” perform absurd racist tropes through the malicious deception of an actually racist audience, therefore creating distance between artist and artwork. The logic follows that the scriptwriter, producer or actor cannot be a “racist” or participating in “racism” themselves if their work is being used to draw out the racism of a sub-class of citizens, an uneducated constituency who are the only people who could be truly capable of racism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woke crap isn't that though. People are being done for things like kicking people's heads in, or making genuine threats on their lives. Or being victims of criminal damage and arson. Or even murder. The 'gay and trans' panic defenses have legal precedent to being used to excuse murder of LGBT folks. Let's take the first example of someone being prosecuted for a trans hate crime in the US, shall we? Quote Zapata was 18 when she met Allen Andrade (age 31 at the time) through the mobile phone social network MocoSpace.[2] According to Andrade, the two met on July 15, 2008, and spent nearly three days together, during which they had a sexual encounter. Prosecutors state that Andrade later discovered that Zapata was transgender and subsequently began beating her—first with his fists and then with a fire extinguisher—until she was dead. In the arrest affidavit, Andrade said he thought he had "killed it" before leaving in Zapata's car with the murder weapon and other incriminating evidence.[3] Andrade was arrested near his residence driving Zapata's car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Angie_Zapata Or, looking at more recent data. This is the UK for the year ending March 2021 for all types of hate crime, including religious, race, sexuality and gender. The graph above shows the breakdown of these offences. Note we're talking about violence, criminal damage and arson, not just people being called names. Maybe don't fall for the headlines so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The Nations Propaganda Mouthpiece today reporting that the IOM Police want legislation to clamp down on hate crime. Would love to see figures to support the rush for legislation. The police are making out as though the island is riddled with homophobes, sexists and racists all committing hate crimes, such as verbal abuse and physical abuse - though it can and may happen, but should be dealt with routinely without the recourse to introduce legislation at the drop of a hat. Sadly some of those who make demands and shout the loudest are often those who are throughly unpleasant and nasty individuals themselves, who are as bigoted as many others - except in their own homes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that argument we wouldn’t have many laws. There aren’t many money launderers, even fewer commit incest, bigamy, and actually there isn’t lots of under age sex or child abuse. Theres a lot more hate crime. Hate crime is normally an aggravating factor of an existing offence anyway. Attracting a heavier penalty. There’s probably more hate crime than all of the categories I listed above. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
