The political establishment, the media establishment and the academia establishment.

And they have done what in response to David's costume?

How dare conversation evolve? You should speak about what you're told too or be silenced.

Who's silencing you? I just asked you a question? If you're uncomfortable explaining your point maybe discussion forums aren't for you? :unsure:

I was taking about the bigger picture and not this nothing story about Walliams, and that was quite obvious to see, so why ask that question?

Well, it must in someway relate to the topic, maybe not Walliams himself but the actual topic itself otherwise it's not a natural evolution of the conversation is it?

I'm asking the question because you still haven't answered it.

Ok, I said media establishment are these White lefties to your original question, who has this witch hunt on Williams come from? the media. So I hope that answers your second question.

I mean it’s not like it’s anything new from him, he’s always done stuff like this throughout his career and Little Britain etc.

Not that it excuses it but it doesn’t feel overly offensive because it’s just David Walliams all over

Can you show us the witch hunt?

The only backlash he's had was from other twitter users. Are they all white lefties too?

Yeah, isn't comedy horrible? I hate laughing too, why can't we all just be miserable?

That's like saying "Oh, that serial killer's found another victim, but this one doesn't feel too much of a problem, it's just him all over". :hee:

It would've been just as funny with actual Japanese actors playing the sketch.

You think Jack Dorsey is not media establishment?

But Walliams and Lucas play all the roles in their sketches, why change for this sketch?

And Jack Dorsey has exactly what to do with @Mary215 tweeting her disgust at Walliams' costume?

If they want to play all roles, why write Japanese characters?

I didnt say it wasn’t a problem though, I meant that it just doesn’t feel or look like a problem to some people bc they’re just accustomed to him doing that. Does the problem still remain? Yes. Is it something I’m really going to lose sleep over? No.

She uses his platform. And has he's proved, he has the power to what goes out on there.

And this story also made the papers so let's not pretend this is just a twitter thing.

Why not? why exclude Japanese or any people from being part of the joke?

Most of the articles are about the "twitter thing". Sad as it sounds, they actually create articles built around what someone has tweeted.

Sorry, I must've missed the part where he personally approves tweets and opinions. He must be so busy.

I never suggested excluding them. I suggested giving some nice Japanese actors the work.

It would be like a director handing the role of "black man" to a white guy in makeup. Why not just hire a black actor?

Once again it is your supposition this was a slight on all Asians, anyone with a modicum of perspective can see it was purely satirical.

Maybe you're misunderstanding, I haven't suggested Walliams is purposely attempting to offend asians.

That doesn't make it any less problematic all the same.

Then where is your issue?... There was no intent and you have nothing to base your suspicions that it may or may not offend Asians.

Is this an example of the PC gone mad culture I hear so much about,someone becoming offended over nothing on behalf of others?

It sounds suspiciously like it.

What's my issue?

Read the thread.

It's like Emily Parr in BB, she didn't intend any offence at all but it didn't change the fact that what she said was completely inappropriate and offensive on a few levels.


If you find the likes of blackface and yellowface "nothing" that's your business but that doesn't make my viewpoint any less valid.
