    That doesn’t surprise me, the BBC has degenerated into becoming a left-wing mouthpiece, and the funding for their overpaid presenters and subpar media all comes from the taxpayer’s money :mad:

    To be honest I don’t watch that much BBC anymore, only Father Brown (a brilliant murder mystery series that seems largely to have escaped the wrath of the left-wing) and the occasional game show or antiques programme. The last BBC evening drama I watched was The Last Kingdom and that moved to Netflix. I can still get the DVDs of the later series when they come out and they’ve been fantastic so far. Got series 4 for Christmas so I’m looking forward to watching that soon.

    Though I’m not a Whovian I’m pleased to see Whittaker leaving, that reboot series reeked of BBC left-wing propaganda. Whether they can save it or not is anyone’s guess, but the silent majority win once again :D

    I think private citizens are perfectly capable of maintaining private money holes...



    I don't get how Amber Heard is Teflon given that large number of horrific things she's been accused of, with corroborating witnesses and voice recordings.

    I am a DC fanboy but I am not going to pay a penny to watch anything with Heard in it. Domestic violence is wrong, even when women commit it.

    Amber Heard is pretty and a decent actress, but she is not irreplaceable. There are hundreds, perhaps thousands of actresses just as pretty and talented who don't domestic abuse.

    I don't get why Warner doesn't replace Ezra Miller as the Flash. He has gotten some bad headlines for drunk and disorderly behavior. Nothing unforgiveable I suppose, but he is a rubbish actor on top of this. You don't put up with celebrities making drunken scenes in public if they cannot act their way out of a wet paper bag.

    Back on the original topic of evolving gender norms affecting media, here is my favorite foul mouthed snarky semiprofessional critic on Youtube.



    I agree with his conclusion. To make engaging female heroines (and female villains) we need to establish true equality.

    Yeah, that was a easy analysis, the current problems with most villains & heroes are pretty clear.
