Or they hold people with low IQ’s/mental disabilities and use them as slaves. I suppose because they are easier to manipulate. Also because those people often get disability checks from the government they can cash in. It is sickening to hear those stories. Hell, its partly the reason why I’m a little ambivalent about…

So? Why can’t a museum feature art that is controversial? Or show other work by artist that is controversial? Why would they have to silence the artist because peoples feelings have been hurt?

Yes well, these protesters kinda lost the high ground here when they started to ask for non controversial paintings to be removed as well. Or when they asked for the controversial painting to be destroyed. Sorry, but thats crossing so many lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

Yes, create all the free publicity for her she could ever need. All the while making yourself look like a fucking idiot. You couldn’t do her a bigger favor.

Yeah, you are arguing with two extremes here, either everyone should be white or it should be multi ethnic like its today. First, no one is arguing that it should have looked like the multi ethnicity of today, so you can drop that bullshit.

Yeah, but the British weren’t the only ones present at Dunkirk. Lots of French troops there as well, and they did include Colonial troops. And before you go ‘but this movie is about the British experience at Dunkirk’ thats a bad argument. Or do you really believe that all the while the British were at Dunkirk, they…

Thats for the British side. The French had thousands of colonial troops present there as well.

Well, you could perhaps argue that by restricting or denying a childs access to a peer group, their absence does influence their development. Humans are social beings and by denying someone the ability to socialize you can seriously curb someones development.

This guy wasn’t locked away by his parents when he was a child right?

Its not pretending, its documented historical fact that there were Indian troops as well as (French) colonial troops present at Dunkirk. Look it up if you don’t believe me, its right there in the history books.

What? Dunkirk is in Northern France. Most of the troops present in that theater of war were native French and British troops. The Northern African campaign hasn’t even started at that point in time. Thats like 2 years later.

Yes it is. Even if you don’t make a main character a person of color, how hard is it to include non white extra’s in the background? Especially if its historically accurate to see non white soldiers participate in the battle? That alone would have mostly dismissed this criticism.

Parental influence on children is pretty minimal actually. Peer groups have a much more significant impact on someones development. That means their parents can do everything ‘right’ and their kid will still end up at the wrong side of the law.

Really, this argument only holds if you compare CoH with RTS games like C&C or StarCraft. But years before CoH ever came out we already had games like Blitzkrieg and Sudden Strike.

There are some counter points to make to that. First , the argument that it was stupid of the Germans to make a tank they couldn’t mass produce holds no water because the Germans couldn’t mass produce period. You need resources and factories to do that and Germany lacks a lot of the essential resources necessary to…

Those that actually work in business probably could have told them the same.

I never said that these people are Nazis because they want to ban certain pieces of art. I’m saying the reasoning and symbolism behind trying to ban pieces of art is the same as with the Nazis. Or really any other group that wants to ban art because they don’t like what it means to them. In that sense (and only that…

Eh, some of that looks a little to much like its from a Thomas Kinkade painting.

Its irrelevant if protesters ask nicely before they burn art they don’t like or if they just did it using the power of the state to get it done. Its simply a difference in power and means. These protesters don’t have a state behind them and the full spectrum of tools for coercion that a state has at its disposal.…

It is censorship. It would be a prestigious institution caving in to pressure from outside groups to not show someones artwork, not exhibit her ideas and opinions, because one of art pieces is ‘morally reprehensible’ according to these groups. That is censorship pure and simple. Rather than start a discussion about…
