Political Correctness Gone Mad

Oh dear on the bbc news they are apparently changing wording in kids books in case someone takes offence or creates bullying they are really getting silly now . Apparently wierd is one of those words being removed . Others are fat , ugly and crazy in case it upsets someone . Not ladylike is now replaced with undignified , formidable female is now formidable woman . Mother and father is now parents and cloud men are now cloud people , it goes on utter crazyness its political correctness gone mad . What sort of world are we leaving our kids , oh my god .

Keep it going. In another few years I'd be able to take over the world just by being the only person who still swears like a sailor.. One 'C#nt' from me and everybody will be laying in the fetal position traumatised.

@Thevy29 LOL!

If you really want to upset 'em futher, tell 'em you never believed the purple one of the Teletubbies (him with the handbag - was it Tinkywinky?) was any sort of "icon" for any sort of sexuality.

@ArishMell Isn't TinkyWinky the host every night on Fox's Clucker Carlscum tonight? 🤪

@spjennifer LOL! I haven't a clue! All I know about Fox is that some other SW users attack its political views!

I know the Teletubbies only as the show was. (My girlfriend liked it..... I don't know why. ).

It was made for very young children and was all very innocent and harmless, but some homosexual or other with nothing better to do, started waffling publicly about imagining the character as some sort of "gay icon".

It was sold to many countries around the world, but as well as that "gay icon" idiocy, it did attract two very weird attacks -

One was some pseud-in-a-suit "executive" (over-promoted filing-clerk) in German's public-service TV company thinking they looked like spacemen and would frighten the intended audience.

The other was a similar bureaucrat in a major US entertainments company (Warner I think) declaring the Teletubbies show "evil" for being always happy and cheerful.

Not sure which was the most stupid of those three nonentities! One might wonder if they never been aged under five, had never thought to ask young children for [i]their[/i] opinions, nor, probably, ever created anything themselves.
