More Politically Correct madness

The lunatic fringe are on the march again!
The York Dungeon had a ride named after Dick Turpin, an 18th century highwayman. Now some PC - or Woke if you prefer - lunatics are demanding the name is changed to the Richard Turpin ride, because the name Dick offends them.
Are people really so stupid?
Evidently they are.
It's time the sensible people of the world ditched these PC lunatics and returned to normality.

@davidlewis D0nt forget Johnson...rather appropriate for the most recently deposed sack of custard who got booted out as 'prime minister'

"Wokeness" is just the latest fad, and I think it will go away soon, like any other fashion idiocy.

@helenS I think you are right. It's a fad by the lunatics.

Slade · 56-60, M

@helenS but it only gets stronger. Useless people seek shit in which to be offended - it’s their entire identity

helenS · 36-40, F

@Slade I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you on that. 😐

davidlewis · M

I will be honest and thought the post a wind up. Only been here a week do do not know anyone and how they are, of course I would not be surprised if true. and it is.

I am/ maybe have lost the will to live. Right here. Right now.

Oh I just remembered I have boxing lessons at 10 am and I cannot have the boys find a corpse. So I will get up get on and live.

So sad this world now I fear for the youngsters. is there a joke left, is there some crazy toy free in a comic or cereal box. can a boy fish in rock pools or fly a kite. A girl have a dolly in a pram. Ah but wait children we can have some drag queens tell you a story?

@LizOwen This was already going strong when COVID was a mere wet dream for Fauci and his CCP benefactors

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@Slade Just stupidity then, with no rational reason. A disease of the times.

Slade · 56-60, M

@LizOwen Yes as I’ve said, finding shit to be offended by can give useless people some kind of identity. Look at the self righteousness of the lowest form of life - Antifa thugs

Liz during this thread about dicks I checked your about me. When you said “don’t bend over in front of me” I got a nightmarish image of a San Francisco bath house😮 Then I saw it was about a smack which, for me, usually hits the spot😋

The real stupidity is on the people who get upset about non stories and flim flam, designed to distract attention from the real problems in this country. And boy, do they fall for it! If only people who get upset and angry about tripe like that get angry about important stuff, we would have real progress. But I suspect there will be more dead cats thrown around....

@jackieash27 It seems to have got you going anyway, doesn't it?
You seem very uptight about my honest reaction to flim flam. :-)

jackieash27

@LizOwen I'm just giving an honest opinion, too.

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@jackieash27 That will be two of us, then.

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

Idiots...what next?
Puddings called Spotted Richards!

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@TheSirfurryanimalWales yes! and baby lambs called Welsh comforters...

ArishMell · 70-79, M

@Yulianna Unless they are of Cheviot or Dorset Horn, etc. breeds!

SW-User

I looked for the stories about this. They all start with the York Dungeons saying they received a number of complaints, though they don't say how many. York Dungeon say they have refused to change the name. I wouldn't be surprised if it was all made up to get some free advertising.

I will be complaining to The Royal Dick Vet School in Edinburgh later today.

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@SW-User Best warn the Royal Dick that the PC loonies are on the march!

SW-User

@LizOwen I'm sure they'll be fine, it's commonly called the Dick Vet

Confined · 56-60, M

We use giant cardboard boxes at work to put small packages in. We call them gaylords for the last 10 years. The woke idiots complained and now they are called shuttles. Stupid!

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Confined your job sounds interesting...

Confined · 56-60, M

@Yulianna i work in a ware house.

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@Confined that makes sense...

Can you cite a source on this? Because it sounds like the kind of outrage-peddling only GB News could manage.

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@KiwiDan Here is one: there are many more. I think the local MP got involved as well.

really these people that was his name for goodness sake . please get your head from up your backsides and chill 😆 [lizowen]

ArishMell · 70-79, M

They'll be writing to Hollywood next, demanding that if the Mary Poppins film is re-released, one of its leading actors be named in full.

Oh, and they'll be wanting being called not "lunatics", but by some fancy umpteen-word term of little credibility and even less grammar.

"Woke"... No I don't prefer. Silly US slang word that appears to mean whatever its user intends!

canusernamebemyusername · M

So you don't have any idea what woke means.

There are no limits to stupidity as wecan see now almost every day

jackieash27

So they decided on Penis Turpin, instead,,,,

Dickheads

Oops 😬 Richardheads, I should have said!!

basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M

How is that PC, left or woke? Usually conservative are offended by genital humour and swear words.

Elessar · 26-30, M

What's your reputable source this time, Breitbart or FOX News? 😆

@LizOwen Lol, you're right on that, I've misread the post reading fast

So, Telegraph or Daily Mail?

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@Elessar I'm right on most things. Look it up yourself.

Elessar · 26-30, M

@LizOwen No one is. Neither are you, nor are me, we're all fallible (see my blunder above 😝)

Jungleman · M

unfortunately society in the west is falling rapidly, and the woke brigade are tightening their grip on everything.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

Im gonna End Political Correctness when Im President Of The United States

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@JohnOinger I'd vote for you - if I was American!

Yulianna · 22-25, F

@JohnOinger it would take the end of political correctness for you to be elected... in fact, it might take the end of politics. and the end of correctness.

SW-User

I don't know how they have the time and energy to be so offended by such things!

Slade · 56-60, M

@SW-User it is inferior people’s entire identity. They just go for bigger and bigger hits

Highskirt · 56-60, M

And the sad thing is.....they will win and the name will change

Really · 80-89, M

The real stupidity lies with people saying 'dick' instead of penis.

TheConstantGardener · 56-60, M

I take it you prefer Dick?

jackieash27

@TheConstantGardener I'm Puccini's Opera, La Fanciulla Del West, one of the lead characters is called Dick Johnson....

@helenS Hey!! I just saw Porcupine Tree on the weekend. It was fantastic....cameras and phones were not supposed to be used but someone at the concert took this....thought I'd share it with you
