Woke watch

[arsene york-hunt]

"There is a very good section on GB news where the ludicrous idiocies of Wokeness are looked at I thought we would should have one for WHO. I'll start with Baptiste on BBC: In Hungary,an ambassador's family are kidnapped by Islamic terrorists and carry out atrocities. At the end of the last episode Baptiste finds out that it is a false flag operation and conveniently, the real culprits are white supremacists who want to stop all immigration. Coronation Street ITV a gay black footballer is stopped by the police, because he is driving an expensive car. He is pushed to the ground during an altercation, and damages his leg threatening his career. Could have been written by Dawn Butler or a BLM activist."

Gaffer Irish exemption wild card.

Are Christmas pantomimes still ok where men dress up as the ugly sisters or in Aladdin a “fit” bird plays the Aladdin role. Still cannot work out how Mrs Browns Boys is still thought of as ok.

I'm watching more and more of GBNews they love their gay presenters but they don't seem to take any of this woke shit.

"SurfaceAgentX2Zero 11:09 Mon Nov 22 Not banned but deemed offensive - and its use discouraged - by Ofcom. And there have been plenty on here claiming faux outrage at the term and drawing equivalence with other 'banned' terms. But you are right, far too much tip-toeing around language. There was a ridiculous moment on Trevor Phillips on Sunday where - during a perfectly considered debate about race with Sajid Javid - Phillips said he 'obviously' couldn't use the work 'paki' while Sajid could. Bonkers."

Lee. You mean Sam Smith. Just the one person. Can't think of any others they'd need to appease.

Genders? What are they? I’m non binary ( they / them ) I identify as a one armed Chinese dwarf by the name of ¥§#¥§~

[Beat Freak]

Not forgetting the Zirs and Hirs that refer to a person of unspecified or non-binary gender.

"They've ditched the GENDERS as well, to please the THEYS."

"I see the Brits have now become the MOBOs 3 presenters, all black. Bit racist isn’t it?"

[Lee Trundle]

"""Eddie Redmayne says it was a mistake to play trans role in The Danish Girl"" I've never understood this level of wokedom. Surely that's the whole idea of being an actor, that you play someone different to who you actually are? Does this mean he'll also have to apologise for playing Stephen Hawking, because he's not paralyzed from ALS?"

"Chairman Mao will be looking down and thinking "" at last they are following my philosophy, burn books and ban words, let the state decide what you can say, see and feel """

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

The head of the girls schools association wants to ban the words 'woke' and 'snowflake'; Typical lefties. Banning books and words again. Interesting how easily triggered they are - I don't remember any calls for the banning of the word 'gammon'

Toronto is a worthy target for derision? On what grounds?

Hermit Road 9:42 Sun Nov 21 Re: Woke watch A SCHOOL BOARD in FUCKING TORONTO! Oh fuck no!!! The world is ending and hermit has pissed his knickers!

"“ Toronto school board has withdrawn support for events featuring the memoir of Nadia Murad, the Yazidi woman who was enslaved by the Islamic State, because it could ""promote Islamophobia"".” Must. Whitewash. Islamic. Atrocities."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"But surely ""Craftsmen"" implies by default that all the manual, lowly, labour-intensive physical work is being undertaken by MEN, and that WOMEN occupy all the managerial and administrative, decision making roles. What the fuck are they moaning about?"

Love this thread.

"BLB I'm really liking that one. It's like there is one person in the entire world who would look at the charming and historic name, 'Devon Craftsmen Guild' and not assume that in 2021 'craftsmen' included a lot of women. Still, good luck with 'MAKE South West'. I'm sure that reassuringly non-olde worlde name will persuade tourists and other potential purchasers of hand-woven tartan blankets to turn up at the shop in their droves."

"An alternative Christmas event has hit London this year, with Father Christmas being dethroned and replaced by Mother Christmas. The first-ever Mother Christmas parade is due to take place on Monday 13th December on Hampstead Heath. https://www.mylondon.news/whats-on/whats-on-news/london-parade-father-christmas-been-22193687"

Take the knee against racist equipment

A review into the racial bias of medical equipment is now being launched by the health secretary. Machines are now racist 🤷🏼‍♂️
