Yeah that's a weird one that is. When you're part of a group that is really starved of representation you frequently find the positives in less than stellar examples. Which then become very dated as we make progress. Brings to mind the whole Apu thing, and Peter Sellers doing brown face.

Apologies in advance for being a dick as this relates to charity but you clearly know this thread is not a fundraising thread and bumping the progress of your appeal to solicit donations under the guise of it 'cheering you up' is not cool.

Ah, I see. If that's well-understood then it's unlikely that anyone else is making the same incorrect inference that I have done.

I think I might be getting confused because you were talking about anti-Semitism, and it seems the two are in this case completely unrelated? My understanding of 'Holocaust' and 'Holocaust denial' has always been that those terms refer specifically to the systematic genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany, and not any other social groups targeted by the third reich. That doesn't seem to be how those terms are being used here. I don't think it's helpful to use ambiguous language to imply she has been expressing anti-Semitic views.

Well yeah I was trying to find out about the Holocaust thing specifically as that sounded pretty extreme. And then what I found was a journalist publicly apologising for calling her a Holocaust denier and some sites saying it was all a load of bollocks and others saying she was the new Hitler but I couldn't really get a clear picture. I'm not going to lie and say I put loads of work in, nor am I asking you guys to spoonfeed me.. But it was more the point that if it's that unclear, people with be unlikely to be motivated to change their behaviours and I can't really blame them.

I haven't done because I know I can't see replies and that without an account, so I figured I wouldn't be able to get a proper sense of the conversation.

I'm struggling to find any decent sources of news on all the jk rowling stuff that are genuinely informative on her position and what others have said etc. I'm somewhat motivated, but can't say from what I've read whether I really agree wholeheartedly with all the accusations against her (I don't agree with her position but am unclear on the presence of malicious intent). So at this point I find myself in a position where I couldn't blame anyone for just continuing to consume her product and line her pockets.

Fucking hell. That was worth coming back for eh?

People being thick cunts in the comments is 'top twitter' now, is it?

I know this wasn't supposed to be the takeaway from that post but i would appreciate a post about Rumbleslam in more detail in the gaming thread if you ever fancy doing that....

I am surprised that someone who posts on this forum so regularly would have such an unfortunately vivid olfactory imagination. I shudder to think what's going through your brain and nose reading this place at the best of times.

Yeah it's definitely going around. My brother, wife and nephew have all had it. I feel the start of a cold coming on today and hoping it's just that and I don't get the same thing.

I don't think we've had Brion James in this thread as yet Edit: the first time I saw the 5th Element I thought he was Stallone with some dodgy prosthetics and makeup.

Uh.... Where's the question?

Got a ten hour drive today. Could have done with that extra hour sleep tbh
