" COPS " cancelled after 33 seasons

[Johnny Bananas]

People are just so offended these days by everything and FFS don't watch it if you know it is going to hurt your precious feelings. The Internet voice allowing all and sundry to have a say from their keyboards is going to be ruining society and making a mockery of social platforms because 99% of the time people log on to voice an opinion that is always negative and a whinge.

The "offended" aren't the ones making the decision to pull the shows, however. These shows got pulled because there isn't a big audience for them anymore, and also because they don't want to risk losing the "offended", who could do exactly as you say and switch off, and then cancel their subscriptions en masse. Make no mistake, this is a business decision. So really, your complaint should be with capitalism.

There was also talk today on the radio the children's show Paw Patrol about Police Dogs is also being discussed as being banned and WTF??

I'd bet good money that this isn't happening, it's nonsense made up by a radio host to keep his audience invested in the culture war and tuning in daily.

The vast majority of black people won't give a fu** because they won't even know the characters or show.

Talked to them, have you?

 

[Pistol Night]

And yet as if to say "* you, you privelged white pieces of s**t", Foxtel is screening "White Chicks" today right on cue

Notice "business can do whatever it wants" goes out the window for right wingers when it comes to culture

 

[Pistol Night]

People bring up White Chicks in relation to real life and I'm not sure why. Movie is about two fictional dickheads.

Yeah and Summer Hights High was a factual documentary

False equivalence. White Chicks is two black characters, played by black actors, pretending to be white to solve crime. Chris Lilley is a white actor playing non-white characters.

Surely Dam Busters will be next

Dave Chappelle plays white characters. They are always representations of corny as * white people.

The humour and laughs that are created is because it's Dave the black guy playing them.

 

[Bostonian]

Talked to them, have you?

Don't need to. Americans are so insular it's a given the vast majority of them won't have watched these shows.

I'd bet 98% of them woudn't know the British PM.

So black people playing white people is okay in that scenario?

If Chris Lilley played a white person pretending to be Tongan would be okay and noone would be fussing ?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

So black people playing white people is okay in that scenario?

They were playing black people.

If Chris Lilley played a white person pretending to be Tongan would be okay and noone would be fussing ?

It would be equivalent to what White Chicks actually is.

Playing black people pretending to be white.

So youre okay with white people playing white people pretending to be black?

You cleverly dodged the question.

In the abstract that could be funny. It certainly alters the humour, making it about the idiot character.

Eric Cartman (Trey Parker) in South Park dresses up but the joke is really Eric Cartman being misguided or an arsehole.

Mostly I'm sick of people going BuT WhiTe cHiCKs!! as a shitty, insincere defence every time someone *s up in real life.

Usually appropriately in response to someone complaining about blackface.

BTW is Magda racist for her blackface ?

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Probably.

 

[JackOutback]

Doesn't take much to bring the Chicken Littles out; nobody is 'cancelling' your favourite shitty show, you can still buy the DVDs.

This is private businesses doing a stocktake of whether they have unwittingly or not been showing racist claptrap. In the case of Chris Lilley and Little Britain, yeah, they have (I knew Little Britain was lowest common denominator racist garbage when it first came out). Gone with the Wind won't be banished, the Fawlty Towers episode will come back, because good quality stuff can withstand historical context. Paw Patrol won't lose Chase because you've all been sucked in by the simplest of clickbait. Calm the * down.

 

[Sterge]

So black people playing white people is okay in that scenario?

If Chris Lilley played a white person pretending to be Tongan would be okay and noone would be fussing ?

Is anyone fussing over robert downey junior in that movie where he played a white guy playing a black guy?

 

[PoopingHindi]

Let's be honest, most of this be being drivel by soft utensil liberal white people.

The vast majority of black people won't give a fu** because they won't even know the characters or show.

These kind of things never have the result the white Liberals hope they will.

they aren't only being removed so as not to offend black people.
it's the showcasing/reinforcing/endorsing of outdated behaviour and ideals to all people that is the problem.

not saying i agree with it one way or the other, just felt it needed to be mentioned.

Ice Cube's still spouting his anti-Semitic drivel. Wonder if all his work will be removed.

Did he do it during a movie/TV show?

 

[Godchin]

As long as the X-Files/Cops crossover ep isn't deleted from history, it's all good.
