Why? It seems I'm not allowed to freely express my opinion? How can I have a free discussion without being lambasted for having a different options. The reason I said that because I got a week suspension for talking about this subject, that was in no way being discriminative and was SFW.
Like I agree with you on hamfisted virtue signaling and not wanting it in your entertainment. But what I disagree with is the reaction to it, not that you can't express your opinion. And in my opinion, what they're doing in Donbrothers isn't all that bad. |

So you're saying it's okay for people that made a living before the world "changed" , like racetrack girls, to be left in the dust?
Yeah, but they way it was worded makes it seem like a virtue signal. People hate virtue signalling, just don't say anything, let the show speak for itself

At what point was I being homophobic? Jumping the gun I see. Not just me, a large swath of people are sick of hamfisted virtue signalling.

People hate virtue signalling, just don't say anything, let the show speak for itself Well, I do know that Todd Phillips, the guy behind the Hangover movies and the recent Joker movie, feels he can't make comedies anymore because of snowflakes complaining about everything. Creators can't express themselves fully anymore without the fear they might offend someone. They're walking on eggshells these days. I'd be a lot better than the progressive crap the west is pumping out that's for sure, smartass. |

Can you cite examples of progressive media that are universally liked? I'm curious to see what kind of answers people will come up with. I think there's a good chance I can think of more examples of go woke go broke that blew up in the faces of these out of touch executives like Kathleen Kennedy that clearly don't know what the fans want. |

Yeah I just looked at the article to see what exactly what it says and it really shouldn't be provoking such strong emotions against it unless you're internet poisoned. Can we not try to have a conversation that could get members suspended or worse?

If its crap that marvel, DC, and star wars did to alienate and lose lifelong fans with progressive changes then yes stop putting out crap that is universally disliked. Now if these companies want to create new characters with their own origin stories to create new fans that appeal to people who are unrepresented then I see nothing wrong with that. Just don't destroy the characters people grew up with that made them huge Star wars or Marvel or DC fans, etc.

Universally liked is an impossible metric. Nothing is universally liked, progressive or otherwise.
Except maybe Pokemon.

You know, Shirakura? Between this and saying you'd like Toku to be more widely available in the west, you're alright in my books.
