Quote from: Tyranno-Mek on 29 April, 2023, 05:54:23 PMIt has occurred to me that The Sherman Kid might just be trolling, given his chosen username. In the Dredd story, he's a brat who threatens to set off nukes if he doesn't get his way.
Now that was funny. made me laugh.
No not trolling. Virtue-signalling is not holding the door open or passing the salt -its doing something with no point to it, except to erhem virtue signal. That is annoying. I thought my opening post was pretty clear why I found it annoying. The same way the docu-series Cleopatra has made her black -that is virtue signalling, and they had a lot of critics. Is it possible she was black, sure. But all evidence we have, and there is a lot, says no.
Fiennes is right it would be wrong to make James Bond black (unless he had assumed the name, like a title) as the character is established as white. Same goes for a character like Shaft, it would be laughable if he was made white.
As for the stupid, meaningless term 'woke', that's to disparage what is 99% of the time, simple common sense. A put down of inclusion and diversity.
Now.....where are my launch codes...
