Chris Lilley pulled from Netflix; Little Britain pulled from BBC iPlayer - Blackface matters

Dom Cruise said:
I used to think to myself that SJWs may totally ruin present and future media, but at least we'll always have the past.

But now they're on a warpath to destroy past media as well, it literally never stops with these people.

They truly won't be happy until they've sucked every last ounce of joy and happiness from this world.

"This is all easy for me to pass judgement on from my white, straight, male ivory tower.

" I've known for a long time that Little Britain in particular is not okay, but I can't pretend that I don't find it funny."

" I think that progress and anti-racism is infinitely more important than a comedy show."

Can't believe people like this exist! There is no racism in these shows. They were shown on the BBC, not Hitler TV.

Reminds me of how years back, Harry Connick Jr was a guest judge on Hey Hey It's Saturday and was a whiny little pussy over the Jackson Jive.

I honestly was racking my brain trying to think of how The Mighty Boosh was offensive to these people until I read that. If they're going to delist that show it should be for one thing and one thing only...

 
Little Britain wasn't ever good anyway. But that's besides the point.
As if comedy hasn't already hit a point where simply nothing is funny, the only things you're allowed to laugh at are the jokes you're supposed to find funny because they are opinionated on the right side of history.
Where has the simpler times gone? Why can't people just laugh at stupid shit on the internet like us normal people do? :^)

The League of Gentlemen getting pulled is so dumb, it's not even black face but an evil clown

He's an evil Gypsy. He's meant to be a physical embodiment of all the fears of the sort of middle-class people that write to the local newspaper every time they see a black person in the post office and seem convinced pikeys are going to pitch up on their front garden. Much the same people Little Britain used to mock, in fact...

:thinking:
 
The only good character is Ja'mie from SHH.

Chris has always been a shit tho. I wonder if they will cancel his show on Freeform about the autistic kid

Ja'mie is an absolute icon, but also undoubtedly a transphobic canard.

To everybody cheering Little Britain, Gone with the Wind, Summer Heights High and so on being banned: You fucked up.
The slow shift in values was manageable when it was just ugly videogame characters and women/minority quotas on comedy panels, but when you go after shit like this?
Normal, politically disengaged people notice this. They notice this and get very confused, and then very angry. Whatever you're selling, whoever endorses this action? Have just made an enemy out of a lot of people that had no political leanings, but are now being told there's no fun allowed. They're not gonna take it.

GWTW is not banned. People are mad about literally nothing

They're just putting a warning or something at the beginning.
 
It took them forever to pull the one where Chris Lilley does blackface while in yellowface. I think get it now, though. Corporate gets to do the least expensive virtuous thing possible (and actually make money from the speds who will rush to buy it before it's "banned") and wokeists get to gloat.

They never had the power these idiots now have.
Sure some really out there fundies sperg about the gay content on tv and streaming services, but they have a small audience and no power.

The more mainstream ones understood that, so they just shut up and went and created their own streaming services.
Pureflix and Frndly TV

When covid first hit they had a 30 day free trial, it really wasn't worth it. The library of content is pretty small for what they charge and the interface sucks.
