On facebook, I'm in a group for people who like 50s/60s era of television, and recently the admin banned someone who was trying to discuss lack of diversity in tv shows of that era and racial politics. People were saying it was unfair, but the admin said this group is for a specific topic. Years back I would've seen that as harsh, but now I'm all for it. If only we done that with our hobbies once the usual suspects infiltrated.
The larger point being is that there is always some idiot who feels the need to bring in politics or some other issue into a completely unrelated hobby, and can't just let people have an escape. Recently I saw that the Twister movie was attacked for not addressing climate change, and I remember that Far Cry game got bad reviews for not addressing white supremacy.
Of course, the usual thing we hear is that "(fill in the blank) has always been political" or "it is too important". One of the reasons I rarely use reddit now is because of what happened during the "summer of love". I collect sports cards (baseball/football/hockey) and on a hockey card subreddit you had people who felt the need to have long posts about covid or vaccine misinformation along with the usual racial reckoning nonsense. Then of course they jumped all over me for asking what that has to do with hockey cards and I was told "some things are too important". I had to completely get off the Dallas Cowboys subreddit because they went off the deep end at that time.
Anyway, the mindset of these people who just can't let people enjoy something or feel that their point of view has to be brought into anything and everything even if it is some babies playing with blocks will never cease to annoy me.
Reminds me of the Sopranos sub in reddit. It is full of discussion, quotes from the show dripped into discussions in witty ways, etc. Just a bunch of fans of a nearly 30 year old show talking with like minded people of all generations.
But every now and then you get some leftist activist faggot getting brigade voted to the top when he whines about the racism and misogyny of the show. They just can't resist making everything about THEM.
Weirdly enough the "King of the Hill" subreddit is currently going through this. About every fourth topic is some onvious leftist saying how it's impressive they didn't sexualize Luanna. And they had a bunch of memes following the Trump shooting.
It's always left wingers adding politics and throwing a fit when they get called out.
Is it true there is going to be a reboot? I’ve never seen the ones about Luanne but I have seen ones whining about Hank not helping with Bill’s mental health
Really? And miss the chance to shame jock-turned-incel Bill?
