From Wakanda to Cracka

Jun 25, 2020

The fantasies go from sad to grotesque:

The new series starring the Hotel Rwanda actor, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, and rapper Saigon fantasises about an alternative history where white men and women are slaves who get brutalised, raped and even hanged.

Hip-hop music director Dale Resteghini is sick of ‘white supremacy’ and he really wants to stick it to white people by shocking them with an alternative history ‘revenge porn’ television series that reverses the race roles on slavery.

The next part is quite confusing.

Dale Restighini hopes that his new series will persuade people to vote against Trump and white supremacy as ‘Cracka’ is set to release on iTunes and Amazon Prime Video right before the 2020 U.S. presidential elections.

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Paw Patrol is Problematic

Jun 16, 2020

This is one of the major issues with books in the cloud and streaming shows and movies. They can be deleted when SJWs manufacture the latest problematic problem. Cop shows and police toys are being canceled. A producer who made mountains of cash from a successful detective show joins the virtue signalling by throwing his work and colleagues under the bus:

Last week Tom Scharpling, an executive producer of Monk, criticised his own show on Twitter: “If you – as I have – worked on a TV show or movie in which police are portrayed as lovable goofballs, you have contributed to the larger acceptance that cops are implicitly the good guys.” Griffin Newman, an actor who appeared in two episodes of Blue Bloods as a detective, donated his $11,000, or about €9,500, in earnings to a bail fund, inspiring other actors who have played cops to do the same. Lego has halted marketing on its Lego City Police Station and Police Highway Arrest sets. The A&E channel has pulled its reality show Live PD from the schedule. On Tuesday night, Cops, the show that branded suspects as “bad boys” and spawned the whole genre of crime reality television, was cancelled after 32 seasons.

Appeasement doesn't work

Jun 13, 2020

John Nolte provides a list of the works that have been blacklisted plus a list of soon-to-be obliterated shows and movies.

We are entering a very dark period of straight-up blacklisting, a mixture of 1984 with punishable thoughtcrime and Faherenheit 451, where we are about to learn from the political left that “there’s more than one way to burn a book.”

The more the studios and streaming services give in, the more demands the mobs will make. The correct response from the beginning to the SJW hordes should have been: Fuck off!

Chris Rock Brings the Pain

Jun 13, 2020

A classic episode of the comedy Fawlty Towers will be reinstated to streaming service UKTV with a warning about "offensive content and language".

A 1975 episode titled The Germans was taken off the BBC Studios-owned platform because of "racial slurs".

The BBC got a lot of heat for this. They reversed their decision. The same can't be said for the following movies and shows that were once offered by other organizations:

HBO Max temporarily removed Gone With The Wind because of its "racial depictions", and Little Britain was removed from the BBC iPlayer and Britbox because "times have changed".

Netflix has also removed Little Britain plus David Walliams and Matt Lucas's Come Fly With Me, and The League of Gentlemen and The Mighty Boosh.

I wonder how long it will take before they start going after every mention of nigger in a show. For example, when will Chris Rock become problematic and be canceled? Note that the title of the following video doesn't even spell out the word.

No more niggers and wogs

Jun 11, 2020

Agatha Christie published her most famous work in 1939. The title of her book was Ten Little Niggers. The place it was set in was called Nigger Island. The story was constructed around a children's rhyme in which the word nigger makes ten appearances.

The book was heavily modified for the US market. The niggers were replaced by Indians. Of course, eventually, the Indians were also too offensive! So, the Indians were replaced by soldiers. Let's see how long the soldiers last.

I don't care that what Christie wrote was rude, offensive, hurtful, or problematic. I want to read her words -- not the continuously altered and degraded version offered by past and modern lunatics.

It was bad enough that assholes were going back and "sanitizing" classics by changing the words of the authors. Now, they've moved on to TV shows and movies.

An episode of Fawlty Towers famous for coining the phrase, “Don’t mention the war!” has become the latest “classic” British television programme to be taken down from a BBC-owned streaming service, as broadcasters continue to conduct a reappraisal of old British television content. [...]

The original broadcast also included a scene in which Major Gowen, a regular guest at the hotel, uses very strong racist language in relation to an anecdote about the West Indies cricket team. A decade ago many broadcasters began editing out this part of the programme, although the racist language can still be heard on the version hosted by Netflix.

It's the current year. Don't mention the niggers and wogs. So, many years ago, the censors cut out the "niggers and wogs" scene from Fawlty Towers. That was apparently enough to make the show non-offensive. Today, for who knows what reason, they've deleted the entire 30 minutes of that episode.

The Hidden Decline

Feb 21, 2020

The average American can buy a powerful smartphone with all the bluetooths and wifis but that is small consolation when their wages don't cover required expenditures.

Woke Illustrated

Feb 16, 2020

Sports Illustrated has introduced its next slate of finalist models for its upcoming swimsuit issue, and a plus-sized model, a 56-year-old model, and a bald fitness trainer will be among them.

The stupidity of it all:

“I hope every chocolate chubby girl and every thick queen around the world sees this and know that anything is possible,” Anyea continued.

“Your skin, size, shape, condition, beauty will not determine your destiny. Your will-power, faith, and determination will,” she said.

If a black whale can become a finalist for a swimsuit issue, then what exactly are the disqualification criteria?

An Absolute Jewel

Dec 08, 2019

During a recent interview with Out And Proud Magazine, Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams hinted that the hotly-anticipated 9th installment of the Star Wars saga would include more clear LGBTQ representation, in the form of a lesbian AT-AT. [...]

Abrams further explained that the AT-AT’s character would be illuminated through conversations with Rey, who speaks fluent Imperial Walker. Because of course, she does.

Of course! The photo in the article is absolute gold.

Man the Harpoons!

Clown World: Embrace the FAT edition:

Making its international premiere in the Frontlight section, Danish doc “Fat Front” came to IDFA with a fair amount of buzz from its Scandinavian homeland, where it debuted in October. Directed by Louise Unmack Kjeldsen and Louise Detlefsen, the film follows four Nordic women—Helene, Marte, Pauline and Wilde—who are tired of kow-towing to society’s ideal of the body beautiful and have decided instead to embrace their curves.

I laughed at this:

Detlefsen added that the girls’ positivity was infectious. “We learned from the four main characters not to postpone our lives any more,” she recalls.

There won't be much of a life to postpone given their gravitational fields.

The preservation of civilization

Oct 16, 2019

Vox Day:

It's not enough to know about things. It's not even enough to know how to maintain them. It is vital to learn how to design, develop, and build things if civilized society is to be preserved.

That reminds me of this hauntingly beautiful line:

Much that once was is lost, For none now live who remember it.

One of the building blocks:

The Junior Classics campaign is going extremely well, having hit 300 percent of goal in less than 24 hours. You can acquire a digital set, a hardcover set, or a deluxe leatherbound set by backing the campaign.

You can back the campaign here. I'll buy the hardcovers in the future but I couldn't help getting the digital editions now since they're so shockingly inexpensive.

A New Front in the Culture War

Jul 04, 2019

Vox Day:

Many of you are aware that we have been working on a larger-scale project than usual over the last few months. So, I suspect that few of you will be surprised to learn that what we have been assiduously working on is putting together a production team for the first Arkhaven film as well as a new film production company, Viral Films Media. This is the Rebel's Run Teaser Trailer from Galatia Films and VFM.

The Right cries, complains, and whines about the bias in pop culture. Vox Day is actually using his time and energy to build an alternative institution to take on Hollywood which promotes the cancer that is social justice. If you want to support him, then, at least, go watch the movie when it comes out.

Disavow Now!

May 14, 2019

The Supreme Dark Lord of the Evil Legion of Evil:

It's amazing how little they know me, that they think persistence will work against me when SJWs have been attacking me relentlessly for at least 14 years. Their newest line is that Unauthorized is a scam, which indicates that they have no idea what the investment opportunity I have mentioned is about. Which, I'm sure is more than a little amusing to all of the Arkhaven backers.

I laughed at the update.

Shameless Smollett Smears Samaritans

Apr 30, 2019

The two brothers who say "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett paid them to stage his Jan. 29 assault announced Tuesday that they have filed a federal defamation lawsuit against his legal team, including celebrity attorney Mark Geragos.

You must have a heart of stone to not laugh at this:

The lawsuit, obtained by USA TODAY, asserts that after the collapse of the criminal case against Smollett in late March, Geragos and Glandian defamed the Osundairo brothers multiple times in public statements and in the media, claiming they "criminally attacked" and "criminally battered" the actor and that they may have been wearing "whiteface" during the attack.

Two black guys wore "whiteface" and attacked a poor, black guy while yelling: This is MAGA country, bitch! This is gold!

No crooks here

Mar 13, 2019

Rob Lowe couldn't resist:

The arrest of actress Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin in a massive college admissions cheating scandal in which they're alleged to have paid huge sums of money to secure places for their children at top universities is reverberating around Hollywood.

And on Tuesday, Rob Lowe was among the stars who felt the need to comment publicly on the news while defending the achievements of his own college-educated kids.

The former West Wing star, 54, retweeted a post by his youngest son John Owen Lowe and added: 'Very proud of my honest, hardworking sons.'

(Laughs.) It's too late. The credentials are largely meaningless. Why?

  1. The curriculum has been watered down.
  2. The pro-Jewish bias at the Ivy League schools.
  3. Discrimination against capable Whites and Asians.
  4. The acceptance of incapable Blacks which magnifies racism.
  5. And now, this: the bribing of college staff to accept precious snowflakes.

Unless, your son is in a hardcore STEM discipline, university is a waste of time and money. That's the puzzling aspect. When you're wealthy, why even bother with getting in the place? Plenty of smart people who become rich don't even finish college. In short: value diminished and status shattered.
