Wokeism of the day *Revised Mod Note in OP and threadbanned users*

Batman is a strong male character, both physically and morally, which is the personification of evil for the woke crowd. I don't even know how Holywood dared to make such a film these days. I mean, what kind of message are they trying to send? That it's ok to beat up criminals, instead of finding excuses and others to blame, especially when the criminals are of a certain colour?

"Batman is basically a revenge story, and vengeance" that is perfectly fine, we don't need another francize ruined by "dealing with emotional issues and anger", we already have Star Trek for that.

They can have their own purple/magenta haired black fat lesbian superhero which pampers criminals with compassion and understanding, let's see how well it goes.

"I would agree with you that it's a strong male character - but then so are people like Hannibal Lecter and Ferris Bueller"

OK then, strong positive male character. If it were to be real, Batman would make the world a better place :)

It would be interesting indeed, but as a ... different kind of film if you know what I mean 😉

And Batman can use a new arsenal of gadgets.

in a similar vein , I wouldnt describe either as being strictly woke but more people losing the run of themselves in a crises. Im pretty sure the BBC played German classical music during WW2 but would accept a fact check

Well, it's a boycott of everything russian, probably the idea is to put as much pressure as possible from all directions, including ordinary russian citizens that now can't get a bigmac or a coke to wash it down or even afford one if still available. Will it work? Who knows, but at least something is finally being done. Does it hurt ordinary russians? Of course it does because that it the purpose, but it doesn't kill them or their children. War is ugly and being cancelled from a show is something very insignificant.

But it's neither woke or funny.

Might as well

In fairness context and nuance isn’t in plentiful supply these days.

Musk trolling the wokists.

If you ask me what was bonkers was the people's willingness to accept things like a german ex-chancellor being employed by Gazprom and russian oligarchs running free in UK and owing football clubs while British citizens were poisoned in a chemical attack but anyway, let's move on to funnier stuff.

To be honest, I feel guilty watching Killing Eve, since the main character, Villenelle, is Russian. 😕 😉

'Bodies of Culture' ? From context it seems this is synonymous with 'people of color' and not cultural institutions ....

Artist banned from Fridays For Future demo because of dreadlocks

Folk-pop singer Ronja Maltzahn had planned to set a “sign for peace and against discrimination” at a “Fridays For Future” demo in Hanover on Friday (March 25), but was now uninvited by the organizers at short notice.

The 27-year-old received the cancellation via social media, where she also shared the direct message in a post. [translation below] According to the climate protection movement, Fridays For Future Hannover must “rely on an anti-colonial and anti-racist narrative, especially in this global strike”. However, this is not possible if the singer is wearing dreadlocks.

Ronja Maltzahn expresses disappointment on Instagram: “It’s a shame that we are excluded from it because of external characteristics”. She also refers to her values ​​and the intentions she is pursuing with her music: “Give cultural diversity a stage, appreciate and celebrate it, stand up for gender equality, mindfulness and tolerance”. In addition, she emphasizes that she hopes that this goal will resonate with her audience and “not the opposite”.

In the comments on the post, supporters of the singer express their outrage and express their sympathy. Others criticize the decision of FFF Hannover: “An event that stands for the fact that appearance and origin should be completely irrelevant, excludes such a loving artist because of her appearance.”

*translated from German

This is absolutely hilarious.

And the fact that 13 others thanked it thinking the same.

Priceless.

Yawn

I think that was the point, to be offensive. Obviously, the offence was intended to be directed towards Elon Musk and not towards people suffering from a medical condition.

offending him by inferring that he is suffering from a medical condition?

And that’s not supposed to be a dig at those suffering from same medical condition.?

If you had a friend or family member with that condition, you’d speak up every time you came across basic ignorance like this.

What medical condition is being a "spa". Can you provide a link to this in a medical dictionary?

Read what Cordell said above, and grow up.

Don't you ever get tired of feigning offence on behalf of people that aren't offended. What's tomorrow's absolute offence of the day for you? Pretty sad really

Like I said stop getting offended for the sake of being offended. Move on
