Giant_Aspirin posted... are you asserting that it's perfectly acceptable to grab the groin of a stranger to determine gender? In a ridiculous comedy film? Yes, of course it is. the author's point is that many of the "jokes" in that movie would be considered in poor taste today, just like how minstrel comedy was considered a "joke" but is now offensive. that's not to say that Dundee shouldn't be revived, but in doing so we need to be aware of the cultural shifts that have occurred in the ~30 years since the original film. it doesn't surprise me that this point when right over your head, though. No. No, we don't. It's a fucking movie. so a movie where people go around saying racist shit about black people in the name of "humor" is OK, IYO? after all, that was a socially acceptable form of "humor" at one point. --- Playing: Dark Souls III (PC) *(~);} - Get out the pans, don't just stand there dreamin' - {;(~)* <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:894700504] in Crocodile ...
