I know right. It's not the 80's anymore
----------------------------------------------------------------------
True, fantastic comedy like Blackadder goes forth would never get to air these days due to complaints about words such as "fritz" "Huun" and "Bosch" also the fact millions of people died in that conflict and actors wearing military uniforms would cause trauma to many
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Im not sure that satirical comedy falls under the remit of years of oppression but Im sorry that youre not allowed to black up anymore. The sensoring of the widely oppressed white middle class males must be awful for you.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you keep repeating blacking up?
Don't think I've referred to it once on here

Anyway nice swerve on the WW1 stuff, millions died but it's okay to mock yeah cos most were white?

It's not a swerve. A satirical comedy depicting life for British troops in the trenches during WW1 is so far away from this. It's not derogatory for a start but I cant be bothered to fully explain as tbh Im at the point where I think you simply dont understand.

Yeah it's nothing like a footballer wearing a traditional Arab costume carrying a cardboard box

Now youre getting there

So many outdated and ignorant views coming to the surface here, it’s shocking.

On the word ‘offense’, because it’s a word that generates a lot of discussion these days:

Not every negative reaction to a news story is that of offense. Shock, disappointment and sadness are all fairly reasonable responses to this story. None of them convey being personally insulted as per the term ‘taking offense’. Yet literally any time anybody (usually liberal in leaning) expresses disagreement with something it’s all about offense.

Are people allowed to be upset anymore or does this come under the new term ‘snowflake’, generally applied to somebody showing compassion? Why is it branded as a good thing to never take offense? If I take everything I disagree with on the chin without a peep am I more masculine/mentally strong? Is that what it’s really about: strength?

James O’Brien said something insightful about political correctness. In essence he was saying PC is really just about being considerate and tolerant, and somehow it’s been turned into a negative trait. Why are people criticised for being politically correct when ultimately it just means being considerate?

It’s an interesting topic, but to be honest I’d prefer to stick to talking about football.

Very good post although there is a shame now where people are so worried about what they say might offend someone somewhere that people stay silent for fear of offense.

Being offended is subjective so what might not offend you might offend someone else.
