Someone reboot Goosebumps. Not that it's problematic.

And do you remember a few years ago that movie the aeronauts came out? It’s based on a true story about two scientists and hot air balloons. They were both men. The movie erased one and replaced it with a fictional female character for “representation”.
And where does it end? If offensive words in books are bad then why is extreme violence okay? If there is a book where someone is brutally raped and murdered should we go back and edit that out? And if not someone please explain why I can read about rape and murder as long as the character doesn’t utter a racial slur…
And when June rolls around there is no committee out there that forces companies to put a rainbow in their logo. Yet some no doubt feel pressured to do it.
No you have to go back and make sure Fleming is never born.
I honestly don’t know their motivation. I mean obviously money, but I am not sure their intention is to hide this. I mean announcing the changes would have the opposite effect. It would broadcast the fact Fleming was racist.
The books don't seem to suggest racism is okay. They just have characters who are products of their time. If we truly removed everything problematic about Bond then...at what point is it a different character? I mean he's kind of a dick and a womanizer. That's who he is.
I would also ask about other forms of art. Take the movie Pulp Fiction. Should we go back and redub parts of it? Specifically the parts where Tarantino uses the N word. His character throws it around a lot.
I guess my question would be if the book has words that offend you why don't you just not read it? It's not even like these are children's books.
Should movies not have racial slurs ever again? Should we go back and alter movies that contain them and edit them out with something else?
It was not my intention to hit a nerve. I mean calling it "Olympic level" is sort of a compliment.
I think those crying this got called out need the thicker skin, but to each their own I suppose.
I do gotta up my game
Olympic level mental gymnastics aside, you’re right you don’t need to prove anything. But you seemed quite sure I was racist so I figured maybe at least one thing would stick out in your mind. I mean surely it came from somewhere?
I just dont see what her views on vaccine mandates have to do with a story about her turning down superhero roles in the past. What is the connection? What relevance does it have to this article?
Which take is bad? I can’t tell what this is supposed to be in response to, the Hayek thing? But you responded to that already...
I mean what Lilly said is a real thing too.
That’s cool. She also admitted to drugging and robbing men, so they can lead with that instead of the hooker thing.
So you realize there is a difference between something not making it on someones radar and someone knowing about something but choosing to ignore it? Good.
It’s wild to hear about Crowley’s connection to Jack Parsons.
