Re: Political Correctness, LGBTQ, #meToo and other related topics
Cleveland's pro baseball team (formerly the Indians) rebranded following backlash at using a Native American mascot and branding.
The same is happening with the Washington DC pro football team (formerly the Redkins). They're currently known as the Washington Football team until their rebranding occurs.
A lot of American sports teams have Native American mascots and branding (think: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Florida State Seminoles, Central Michigan Chippewas, Utah Utes, etc.)
KAA Gent of the Belgian league actually (and bizarrely) has a Native American as its logo. It was inspired by Wild West legend Buffalo Bill, who had Native Americans (famous ones like Sitting Bull) in his travelling circus, which toured Europe around the turn of the 20th century. KAA's nickname, to this day, is The Buffaloes, as a result along with adopting a NA chief as their logo.

Taking away the Redskins name is the best thing for the team.
The name "Washington Football club" + the branding of the single W is sleek, sounds great, and classy. I fuckin love it, but I have no clue what gridiron fans think

I'd say Indians is worse than redskins for simply having this mascot/logo
Absolutely wild stuff that it had to take until this year.

Except actual American Indians don't give a shit (I know a couple). Only people who actually aren't the victims think this was something worthy of concern and action (usually white people).
They would prefer attention and action around someone like the Dakota Access Pipeline or similar projects.

Re: Political Correctness, LGBTQ, #meToo and other related topics
I liked the chief Wahoo logo as a kid. Was a just an amerindian guy smiling. But there is a racist history behind which obviously i learned much later, they remove it fair enough
Washington Football Club is an awful name, ironically this isn't soccer they're playing. Rename it the Tanks and keep the same colors is my suggestion. For the logo they should get their inspiration on twitter contest. Every time a rebranding occurs, you see in the comments a fan who did a better job

Polling repeatedly backs this up. Native Americans don't care. I still like the change away from the Redskins though, for the aforementioned reasons.

For the Redskins, it's FedEx who forced the move. They threatened to remove sponsorship. Strange because they did not have a problem when they signed the contract. It's not in 2020 we discovered red skin is somehow offensive to amerindians.

I agree. I think there's room for both substantive changes like that and changes like this one. Both are the right thing to do. They are not mutually exclusive.

Swedes and Danes as well. Minnesota's a hodge-podge of Scandinavians.

I have no idea what this He-man is but I'm wondering why the SJW movement is taking over already existing stories and modifying them instead of simply making their own. The thing is they dont want their shit, they want our shit.

Re: Political Correctness, LGBTQ, #meToo and other related topics
I vaguely remember He-man. I remember that the bad guy and main rival to the protagonist was named Skeletor, and I remember there being very clear, old-fashioned portrayals of women and men - with men being tall and bulky, and women having hourglass figures, stupidly big breasts and a distinctively feminine appearance. It became a cult hit, and has been referenced on shows like,
I'm not a fan of the show, so I don't care what they do with it, but it's understandable that the actual fans care, as the decision to make the women appear more masculine, takes away from what stood out to me as a very distinctive and iconic part of the show.
One could argue that it's dated, cheesy, or even wrong for portraying women as stereotypical, weak and overly sexualized, damsels in distress, but that was part of the show's charm. The best course of action from the point of view of a feminist who cares, would've been to ignore it's existence beyond discussing it, and treat it as a thing of the past, but no, sir... gotta "fix it" and bring it back

Dr. Who is going to become female of colour (Michaela Coel):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9839723/Jodie-Whittaker-confirms-leaving-Doctor-bow-2022.html
Well, dailymail is full of rightwing retards. Dr Who is one of the shows where the gender doesn"t matter, there's no woke elements. Interestingly enough, I'm of the opinion Michaela Coel is a MUCH better actress than boring, bland Jodie Whittaker. For a change, we might get a good deal by BBC trying to be inclusive

Re: Political Correctness, LGBTQ, #meToo and other related topics
Yeah honestly Doctor Who changes all the time, I don't care if (s)he (fuck, even they) is/are an old white male, or a black lesbian, just write good stories and everything is fine. It's Doctor Who. Who gives a shit.
I will say though, while I am generally pro inclusivity, I find it odd that the people of colour that end up being inserted into existing properties always replace the redheads.
What is this redhead discrimination?
Justice for Triss and Ariel.

Redheads are a minority, their lobby isn't strong enough to protest but they still fall under the category of 'white' for the 'progressive' racists.

I think that's just capitalism tbh. 6 years ago this trend was the same except it was taking existing IP's and making them all-female.
To me it's lazy, but people also don't have a problem with making 1 billion of the same films with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or making 10 sequels too many to any given series that has initial success, or spawning an uncountable number of Marvel movies...and I find all of those kinda lazy too, except maybe the Marvel movies, but I just don't like those.
It's just that known IP's being remade with different characters tends to sell more than original shit. Whether that's all female or remaking it with more LGBTQ characters or more black and Latin characters, it doesn't matter. Hollywood gonna Hollywood because it's a money making business.
In principle I agree with you especially because original films featuring more diverse casts and stories tend to be great. But it's easier to just remake things.

He is a democrat, a liberal. Question, can you point out anything in this video which was wrong?
Basically, your whole comment is a personal attack against him. Where is the content?
I agree with you about the sarcasm part but I think the issue isn't exclusivly white. People in general have become ignorant to humor/sarcasm.
