I love Google's absolutely fucking inept censorship.
My favorite example is that you can still to this very day buy a "Confederate fla" on Google Shopping, but not a "Confederate Flag." The latter returns zero results.
Your search - confederate flag - did not match any shopping results.
Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Anyway, why do I bring this up? If you click the Google link to "Usage examples" you get this:
"the election turned out to be a bloodbath for their party"
"the bad publicity would be a media bloodbath"
There were other nonmetaphorical examples, of course, but those two are clearly not actual bloody bloodbaths.
Sadly I haven't been to the South myself yet, so I can't really help there, lol. Though I feel like even parts of Queensland over here would have had their share of "rebel flag bikinis", even fairly recently...
But I'll let you know if I ever see/hear of one in person again, ha.
Hahaha, is it the "feminists can't change anything" shirt?
Also, it's weird, most of the results aren't for women changing lightbulbs. I checked with men, and most of the results are about men changing lightbulbs. Someone with their finger on the scale again, I suppose.

It wasn't when I last checked when making that post, it was the "How many men" version that comes after it from Pinterest, although some results may differ I guess.
Now it's the feminist t-shirt and the men version in second.
I don't have too much of a horse in this race, given that I'm not American, but I do find it weird that we've gone from even hippies liking Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers band, and the Dukes of Hazzard being culturally ubiquitous, to, in less than two decades (since the Hazzard remake) that flag being so supposedly "racist" that it is pretty much a "cultural no-no" almost everywhere, not just in polite society, and even Mississippi had to tear down their state flag...
Not to mention the whole tearing down statues shit that only really made its way into the West (and has now even reached my home city, depressingly) after Trump won, and the left declared open war on society as it stood...
At the same time, I would argue that "racial harmony" has gone completely backwards, people hate each other more than ever, and "violence" only seems to be increasing, along with the obvious political polarization...
Same thing happened in England with the British and English flags. Same in Australia (since 2005 in particular) with the Australian flag and the Eureka cross/flag. And arguably same in NZ with their flag... And the statues shit has carried through to all these places, plus Canada, plus even Central Europe of all places...
Sometimes people get treated worse than Hitler. They'll (in this case Amazon) ban books (I think Jordan Peterson, various "Covid denialism," among others?) while still selling Mein Kampf. You think the government response to Covid was atrocious? You're literally worse than Hitler!
Huh, apparently they did briefly ban Mein Kampf for a second, then brought it back.
Amazon has reportedly banned the sale of most editions of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” after decades of lobbying from Jewish groups...

I miss southern girls in confederate flag bikinis.
That's still a thing, right?? Even if it's harder to find on the internet, surely that culture still exists, no?
I doubt girls like that give a shit what TPTB think, and it's not like they're doing anything actually illegal, anyway!
That sounds really bad to do, where? No really, where so I can avoid it :)

Do an image search on Google for: How many women does it take to change a lightbulb?
No quotations marks, just the words and punctuation at the end, and see what the first image result is.

I don't even get the t-shirt unless I open google search in a private tab
the flag example works even from russian IP, that is hilarious
it even does "did you mean: confederate flag" if you don't type g in, and that leads to "did not match any shopping results" page
poor search ai is forced into a loop

Really makes you wonder...
They are still doing this to Kyle Rittenhouse too. No results, but insert a space there somewhere and see plenty of merch.
He gets the same treatment as Adolf Hitler. But of course, Stalin works just fine on Google's platform.
