Not a film, but what about the Jetsons. Lacks diversity in the future.

Love Actually

Now here’s a film I’m relishing being torn apart by the (un)Wokefinder generals. The king of the genre of film I call ‘Blairite Porno’ is rife with questionable scenes, from the fat-shaming of Natalie, to the stalkerish Mark (who attempts to break up a beautiful interracial marriage), to the abuse of the client-domestic relationship by Jamie (particularly as he was sixteen years older than his love interest).
The film even culminates in a boy breaching airport security to pursue a girl to whom he has barely spoken in what could, quite easily, violate #MeToo codes of best practice. Surely a re-evaluation of Love Actually’s problematic attitude to romance is long overdue?

This entire paragraph has a perspective from another planet. FFS

Is there any chance this is satire?

Saw Netflix pulled an episode because a chinese man dressed up as some dungeon and dragon character


Hulu pulled 5 episodes of Always Sunny for the same shite. And then they turned around and used a clip of Mac's dancing in another episode to promote how woke they were. And they haven't taken down the pilot where they use the "hard R" slur or the endless list of other absurdly offensive shite thats gone on in that series. So I mean, if we're deleting shite that's offensive then they should probably just take down the entire series, but instead it's just some arbitrartly book burning censoring shite we're going through now.

Luckily I just built my new PC so I can game on my monitor and then also use it on my TV to stream shite, and torrents and an external HDD will go a long way. I dont want to be a pirate, I much rather pay for the service so the creators get paid. But at the same time I wouldn't put up with a bartender that takes the beer out of my hand when I'm only halfway done with it and tells me I'm a piece of shite if I enjoy the last half of a beer even though it's warmer than it was at the start. Bitch I paid for the entire beer so I will consume the entire beer and if you decide to take that away then ok you get your way but you lose my future patronage. And that's just how it is.

Yeah I can tell the author is really struggling here.

Lol and the reaction would be the same for any straight male who did that. Maybe dudes shouldn’t try to portray themselves as women

This is a satire article and a funny one.

People aren’t offended until they’re told they need to be offended.

How Blazing Saddles hasn't made the list of cancelled is astounding.

I went ahead and purchased The Office and Seinfeld box sets. I’m not waiting around for the mob to discover and demand the removal of un-PC episodes from the streaming services. It’s only a matter of time before they discover and complain about the Diversity Day episode of The Office...one of the GOAT episodes that would never be released on NBC today for fear of blowback.

Pam Beesley : That's nice, Dwight.
Dwight Schrute : OK, do me. Something stereotypical so I can get it really quick.
Pam Beesley : OK, I like your food.
Dwight Schrute : Uh, Outback Steakhouse, I'm Australian, mate!
Michael Scott : Pam, come on, "I like your food," no, come on, stir the pot. Stir the melting pot, Pam! Let's do it, let's get ugly, let's get real.
Pam Beesley : OK, if I have to do this, based on stereotypes that are totally untrue, that I do not agree with, you would maybe not be a very good driver.
Dwight Schrute : [shocked] Aw man, am I a woman?

The woke mob aims to ruin and silence cultural icons. It’s not really about race. They just use race as a vehicle to transform America.

Gone with the Wind, for example, is considered to be one of the greatest movies of American cinema and is iconic. To “cancel” it appeals to the woke mob. Blazing Saddles isn’t really important enough to cancel yet.

The weird thing is how the streaming services are caving to them so easily. Like a few people on Twitter cause a stir, a bunch of bots make the tweets go viral, and before you know it they’re like okay you win.

Truth.... It’s also a protected class of writers, producers, and directors.
