Political Correctness thread

The LGTBQ community is up in arms because a Calvin Klein commercial featured a hetero female model kissing a female robot instead of the commercial using an LGTBQ actress to kiss the female robot. "There are plenty of real LGBTQ Models that could have been used" claimed a critic. Does this mean no gay actor can play a straight character then? God knows that's never happened.

Not surprisingly, Calvin Klein apologized for their gross insensitivity to both the LBTGQ community and, I guess, to offended robots, “We understand and acknowledge how featuring someone who identifies as heterosexual in a same-sex kiss could be perceived as queer-baiting. As a company with a longstanding tradition of advocating for LGTBQ+ rights, it was certainly not our intention to misrepresent the LGTBQ+ community. We sincerely regret any offense we caused.”

You can't make this crap up.

So you can be gay or trans and portray a straight person, but not the opposite... good lord.

I'll be hanging with my (I'm not going to categorize) cousin in the next couple days on the beach with beers and good foods and can't wait till she laughs at this shit.

I watched that skit. Funny as heck.

To the left, it's been a one way street for quite a while.

Hilarious. I felt like chiming in to all the butt hurt libs and simply asking them to name a few socialist success stories of countries thriving today.

One of the articles on it was titled something like: “A game made by dipshits for other dipshits”... amazing how not wanting to give your freedom of choice up in exchange for massive gov now makes one a dipshit.

you are obviously racist, and don't care about your fellow human beings.
how can you even begin to think that the government doesn't know best?

It's kind of weird to be upset about considering Monopoly was created as a critique of capitalism intended to show that the system inherently leads to monopolistic systems.

yet capitalists could have fun with it.
since it's one of the top board games of all time, i'm sure a few socialists had fun letting their inner capitalist out. funny the butt hurt going on now.

must be outraged all the time.

That's a clever display.

The HOA probably has a HOA Nazi on the board. Take a chill pill. It's not like they parked a 1963 Shasta trailer in the front yard.

Please tell me that this is a bogus story.

Student activists at the University of Notre Dame are calling for the removal of white authors from the university curriculum to “decolonize” the university. According to the students, “diversifying the canon helps eliminate the violence of only privileging white scholarship.”

Thanks for the link. I assume that this is a relatively small movement that has little chance their demands will be met in the near future. After being a fan for 50+ years I would really hate having to start rooting for Alabama.

Welcome to higher ed brother,... you’ll find something like this on every campus in the country in 2019

Yup, dating back to my days in college.
It is more prevalent though in some areas or some types of schools.
Not near as in your face in some.

It would be nice if "higher ed" focused more on "ed".
Kid's go to school these days and spend time on non ed crap, while then bitching about their tuition loans.

So cringe. And Democrats wonder why their messaging doesn't work for normal people.

EDIT: Also, similarly, the Latinx can fuck right off. Don't know a single Latino/Hispanic person who doesn't eye roll when they hear this ridiculous term manufactured by woke white people.

Obviously both sides have their messaging problems but the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot with the most basic nonsense all the time lol.

This is more cringey than when the congress folks wore them African scarves and took a knee in the capital to protest and I didn't know it could possibly get worse than that.

Latinx, folkx, etc. is just so dumb lol.
