Wait until you hear that people who like to f*** without having romantic attraction to the person they f*** are an oppressed minority

Trying not to be a c*nt, but what "societal barriers" do these people face? Need to go back to just shrugging and ignoring stuff because the more I read or learn, the closer I get to having to ask Spiked online to unblock me.

It’s not really about societal barriers though (although finding a way of identifying *out* of a groups seen as privileged forms part of it) - the reality is that it’s about an intensely individualistic, identitarian approach to life that, paradoxically seeks community groups to validate personalities.

To see these identities emerge in cohorts of young people, it basically emerges as subcultures would previously emerge around music.

It would be harmless were it not for how women end up getting the sh*tty end of all of it, and how susceptible young women with mental health issues are to any dissociation with their bodies

people who like to f*** without having romantic attraction to the person they f*** .

Isn't the term for that 'married'?

So this is basically just the equivalent of GNER making an emo train in 2002?

[CEB]

On the “asexual” thing, that’s not a bad analogy.

On some of the many newer identity/orientation/gender groups, it’s more akin to having an anorexia train, except anorexia has a flag, and it’s described as
“anorexia is a condition that mostly affects fat women who’d like to lose weight. Unfortunately society often imposes regressive norms about weight into anorexic women and thinks they know better than the fat women whether they’re fat or not. Trust us: anorexics know themselves better than you do. For dieting tips, go to stonewall.org”

(I suspect in an equivalent thread in such a context, there’d be certain well meaning message boarders saying “hmmm well from a certain angle I can see that she’s fat, and i haven’t weighed her - have you?”)

Mary Poppins’ UK age rating raised from U to PG due to discriminatory language

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/f ... y-language

"It was changed because of a derogatory term for the Khoikhoi, a group of people who were among the first inhabitants of southern Africa.

Classifiers picked up on the term used by the character Admiral Boom – first as a reference to people not onscreen, then as a reference to the film’s child stars when their faces are blackened with soot."

How have I missed this before now?

The organisation says a PG rating "should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older" and that "unaccompanied children of any age may watch, but parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger, or more sensitive, children.

I doubt if any children know the term, I know I don’t.

[Long slender neck]

Racism is quite unsettling, make Poppins a 15.

[Story of O]

But children would not know it’s racism

[Proposition Joe]

Watership Down definitely warranted an upgrade though, should probably be a 15.

Isn’t willy Van Dyke's cockney accent a form of racism or cultural appropriation or something?

It wasn't until the team's social media was scrutinised that they had their doubts.

West end theatre running black only nights so audiences can be “free of the white gaze”

Surely this is illegal?

[Dunners]

Obviously, that was never going to be enough. So just to take it to an extra level of lunacy, they state that these nights are for "black-identifying" audiences.

She was probably just a bigot whose unconscious bias caused her to reject the assault. If anything, hers was a hate crime.

I noticed that phrase. Presumably that's a ridiculous caveat because they couldn't actually refuse someone white from entering if they bought a ticket?

We can lock the thread now, we won’t find a better example:

Keeps them from getting done under the equality act whilst also giving a nod to the loons who think this is a good idea.

Buy a book on Amazon, give it a rating out of 5 and you're liable for arrest.

I hope the Mods also ban the post match ratings threads for the same reason.
