I know we don't do I objective viewpoints point on here, but there is a difference between thinking that it is okay to do blackface in the context of a movie or a play and accusing Harris of pretending to be black.

I don't agree with either of those points, but it's silly to pretend they are the same.

Yep, it's just the new talking point from their supreme leader. It was "Sleepy Biden" before, now it's "opportunistic race swapping Harris" (he is better with stupid names so he might come up with something more catchy, but that is the general direction).

They will gobble it up like all the shit they parrot all the time.

It's a dirty joke. You'll get it in a couple of years.

I kind of see where you are coming from, but doesn't it make a difference WHY somebody is offended?

If I, for eclxsmple, use the N-Word, the offence this rightfully causes is rooted in it being used to speak about slaves in the past. I can understand that. I understand why this could hurt black peoples feeling. So I don't use it.

The root of offence on the Paris case seemes to be that some Christian Fundamentalist (wrongly) think that Drag-People imitated the last Supper. Their offence is based in them hating Drags. That is nothing I can emphatize with. So I don't see their offence beeing justified, since It is rooted in hate.

Would they be offended if white males immitated the last supper during the ceremony? Possible, and if so then I'd be interested to hear on what basis, since the scene has been mimiced in pop culture a lot without it causing any offence (on a level that would have made it noticeable to me).

Ao that's the difference. I don't blindly stop to do things the left labels as offensive. But If I understand how and why it causes people harm using phrases or doing things then I might change my behaviour on that base. Not because "the left says so" but because I can emphatize and understand the point. In this case I can do neither.

You can cook em in hot water to losen the hair. It's called scalding.

Well, cats and dogs are quite nutritious too, I suppose, so this realy goes for most pets.

Play some Baldurs Gate 3, Mars Effect, or Cyberpunk 2077 and then try again to argue that point in 2024. And those are just the ones that come to mind first.

I never watched the expanse with that angle in mind, but after you said it I have to agree. Just says something about how natural it was done when it just doesn't stand out from the rest of the story at all.
