Just seems pissed that its been used against her side.

Just got a trigger warning come up on Sky Cinema before Ace Ventura

What was the warning for?

Something about outdated attitudes, i didn't bother to read it of course. Imagine its something to do with the transphobic ending though.

I can’t remember it

Mrs Doubtfire gets the same.

Just got one on Mrs Browns Boys

The countryside is racist and colonial

French golf is racist

British golf is, so not surprised the foreign ones are as well.

The thing that few people seem to notice was that
“PC gone mad!!” was all speculative - “what next?” or exaggeration/misrepresentation- “loony council bans Christmas”

The difference with egregious examples of “wokeness” is that there is substance to the reporting.

In fact, I suppose that amongst right wing media you could perhaps get a good distinction between bullshit stories, where they describe non stories as “PC gone mad” and real stories about real things, for which they’ve adopted “woke” pretty much because they’ve needed to invent a term for when the sort of stuff they’ve lied about before actually happens

How is womxn more inclusive of trans people than 'women'? Isn't the point that they want to be women, so why would they not want to be described thus? Doesn't even seem to be the trans community pushing for it in this instance, just - Old Man Opinion Klaxon - silly kids.

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?

Have seen Mary Poppins but have absolutely no recollection of the word Hottentot, not have I heard it since, so it would probably be absolutely meaningless to any kids watching.

These days, you can't even pump out rampant Islamaphobia on your tv station 24 hours a day without losing the whip !

It’s incoherent thinking all round.
The idea is that the adoption of the term - whatever it’s etymology - signals “inclusion” so, for example, a “woman only event” might look “terfy” while a “womxn only event” would signal that they’re using a definition of “women” (or “womxn”) that includes males who say they’re women (and females who say they aren’t)

In the extent I saw this usage while studying illustration between 2017-2020, it was very much being pushed by the “trans community”, and the consensus amongst the evil terfy female contingent was that “womxn” seemed to be used when there was a likelihood of actual female people being the most obvious intended target of the messaging (eg womxn only gym sessions, or a support group for Muslim womxn) while the only time you saw “women” used by LGBTQ societies was when referring to males.

I thought it was a group of people from Wizard of Oz. I’m sure that in the books, the Hottentots are like the southern equivalent of the munchkins or something. Though that could also have a racist origin I suppose

At least LNER isn't being distracted by nonsense, such as running a train company, and is focused on the important stuff.

Probably a sign of the journey I'm on that the content has annoyed me even more than the misplaced commas and the spelling of 'grey'.

“white represents non asexual partners”

Surely they should have their own flag? Could just be a stick man having a w*nk in the shower

As an activism, it’s an absolute gift to capitalist dullards who want a cheap way to show progressive credentials without actually having to do anything

I had to look up 'demisexuality' and it basically seems to be a whole construct made up to describe shagging someone you got to know as friends first.

Based on Demi Moore and Matthew Perry from Friends, I believe.

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

Corporations have to indulge in it as it now affects their ESG scores in credit rating reports. No rainbow flags = higher cost of borrowing.
