That crappy Robyn Hood show has been shitcanned, and although even the speds at tv tropes had to admit the characters were awful, they still ran defence for Director X and said that the show was being review bombed by "white supremacists"

Upon (and prior to) its release, Robyn Hood was met with scathing reviews from numerous online sources and was generally unfavourably received. The show's creator, Director X took to social media and accused online critics of having rating-bombed the series due to racism and misogyny. Obviously, not all of these reviews (and especially professional ones) fit the bill... but given what happened with The Little Mermaid, or The Last Jedi, or The Rings of Power, or Captain Marvel, or any number of recent movies and series with diverse casts that were explicitly review-bombed by an extremely vocal group of online video creators and their fanbases shoving their racist and sexist railing against minorities and women in Hollywood in the same category as mere "film criticism", there's definitely something to be said about the specific vitriol directed at this particular series, or any work featuring a diverse cast. To quote the man: “The moment they heard Robin Hood was going to be a woman and black and bisexual … they immediately hated it from the moment we announced production." When a lot of said review bombing happened before the series had even released, it's hard to deny he has a point, even if him directly insulting anyone who left a negative review didn't help his case..

After a quick readthrough of the page, I have to ask: how stupid do you have to be to fuck up a Robin Hood adaptation so badly that the Prince John character comes off as the only reasonable person in the situation?

Idk, shit like this is peak comedy. After all, who wouldn't enjoy an unintentional example of how the DEI brigade is ruining modern entertainment.

I really like that game so I won't go too hard. I don't recall anyone being gay in Origins, that all came with those dirty greeks in the sequel.

I do remember one side mission in Cyrene involving what I believe was either a troon or simply a male prostitute trying to seduce and murder multiple notable men he suspected as being his father. It is also indicated the Royal Scribe in Alexandria was probably going to the bathhouse to ogle young men and boy. And those are just the villainous depictions I could remember, I think there may have been more.

So, as it turns out, the mod team is getting lazier with each year that passes by. At first, they've placed an ban for American politics because they couldn't find anyone to clean up the megathread for it. Then it kind of led to the occasional thread being locked because it's tangentially related to American politics. And now, they're continuing to ban people for going "off-topic" or posting blacklisted news sites (I think? It's British shitflinging, as far as I can tell)

That's basically saying that "fire is hot," at this point. Now shut up and enjoy an war story from our favorite boomer.

They're really struggling to hide their heads underground and act like everything is fine. Like I said a few pages back, you cannot pretend that these things are not happening and aren't affecting people.

Mild paranoia in the appeals thread.

One thing that I've always found funny is how people insists how American politics more or less affects how the rest of the "civilized" world is run. Almost to the point of being outright terrified of the election cycle. But here's the thing, guess which side of the aisle is shitting their pants over stuff like this?
