You could say it's unnecessary, but Gay bars at the time of release, and to an extent even to this day have this shit written on them, often as a reclamation of the term. Same goes for f*g - queer is now just part of the lingo, when it was a slur before. It's 'in your face', it's provocative, and I've seen people of such groups take pictures with those exact signs as a 'haha, that's us, we're f-gs/tr-nnies, fuck what ya heard' sort of thing.

Of course, there are different flavours of queer bar, some are much softer and strive for more of a safe space feel, but there are certainly a lot that lean more into being sleazy, punky, and even intimidating.

Perhaps I'm being too generous. I could accept that I am.

eghhh, he's run his course but he had a few good movies where he acted well, and he can play some fun music. I wouldn't say talentless. He's just on a very cash-grabbing run as the gaming movie guy.

Edited. Thanks.

Yeah it's so sad to see, especially when you see his Children in Need appearance. Clearly a sweet kid caught up by the pressures of deprivation and online radicalisation.

Remember when Maduro didn't let aid into the country and all the hawks called for invasion?

(nevermind that it was aid from US Military planes, sent by John Bolton, the man who sent arms disguised as aid to CONTRAS to overthrow a left wing government... and pay no attention to the fact that they chose a closed bridge to deliver it over, when there were two open and working bridges a few miles away)

Glad someone posted this - I read it and was stunned at their talking points. It's not hard to put a case up against North Korea, especially in the average westerners mind, yet the BBC decided to go for the racist magical psyop explanation of what is quite simple a catchy patriotic song.

As if post 9/11 Country Pop wasn't the most brainwashed genre that's ever been produced.

What's the term for when they gradually walk information back? Has no one written a book on this process?
