Because right wingers are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to snowflakery ‘cancel culture’

However, in general... I'm totally unapologetic in saying that, yes, people need headspace and escapism sometimes. It is healthy or even essential to be able to "switch off" sometimes if you don't want to end up hopping off down the depression/anxiety rabbit hole and I don't think anyone should feel bad for insisting that - as vitally important as many issues are - it's not a case at all of meaningful issues vs frivolous entertainment with the entertainment "obviously" always coming second to current social issues and politics. The balance is important, we're all bombarded with hard-hitting politics all week long and... yeah... if people want to eat some fish fingers and waffles, switch off their brains and watch dumb Saturday night telly without it too being full of political messages then I will fully defend their right to do just that. Like I said originally I'm aware that there may well be a double standard going on, with people not being bothered about other political messages and suddenly kicking off over this, and that's another discussion BUT on the basic premise of people having the right to NOT always want to engage with politics 24/7, and in fact access to "simple escapism" being an essential aspect of good mental health. |

The idea that "simple entertainment time isn't that important" because people should always be ready and willing to listen to political voices "about important things" is a very quick route to poor mental health, generalised anxiety and (ultimately) no one having the mental resources or energy to do anything about anything. |

Anyway, if people are gonna get on their soapbox about foreign affairs, I wonder why people aren't talking about the concentration camps in China? FGS a world war was started 80ish years ago because of people acting like China are now... |

I reject the whole 'people need an escape' angle tbh. It's complete white privilege to want a 'break' from hearing about racism. Black people don't get a break, they have to live it. Black people in America have to deal with the fact that they can be shot to death while sleeping in bed, or playing a game with their nephew in their own Living Room or being shot by an officer who has wandered into their apartment and killed them because the officer was in the wrong department. The UK is not so innocent when it comes to brutality either.
If people get tired of hearing about racism and inequality in general, they should probably appreciate the fact that it doesn't affect them and the 'worst' they have to deal with is simply hearing and acknowledging that such inequality exists. |

Obvious she shouldn't have been killed -being part of a drug ring doesn't carry the death sentence- it seems she was in her hallway at the time. Not that that makes it any better. |

Its probably people with young kids who were just sat down to have a nice evening and then had to field a barrage of questions, nobody knows why people complain, people complain about alot of things,(ask the mods ) its not really up to us to judge

Personally I think that the contemporary issues of the day do at times spill over into 'light' entertainment. .. during such a pivotal moment in history it's almost inevitable. You can sit there with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears if you want, thankfully the majority of people support the arts and their contribution to societal mood. I will fully defend an artists right to express their strength of feeling and a broacasters right to air it. If we don't see these issues from different angles and perspectives that's when it will affect mental health.

‘I think that the contemporary issues of the day do at times spill over into 'light' entertainment‘...as spoken by Kizzy...
...I think that the thing with that as well...is that obviously it’s know with all involved in the show...that there might be a ‘risk’ involved in alienating some viewers as they understand the controversy/opposing views etc of BLM, you know...so they’ve risk assessed and felt the performance was something they wanted on their show and worth the risk because it’s so important and such a powerful way to convey...?...it was all obviously previewed or pre approved as it were...and the final vote was...yes, you’re through, we want this on our light entertainment show... |

the reason that ofcom exists it to give people a vehicle to comment if there is something they don't like on the TV. What i find staggering is that people who supposedly want equality want to undermine that vital service and basically force their opinions upon others

Absolutely. I saw nothing to complain about. Other issues have been presented on BGT in the past. Dance is entertainment. It's also an expression of history, the present and the future.. With themes across the board. The complaints, I would possibly expect to be from those who would be against this expression like this anywhere. Or in any other way too. From their own inner prejudices. Honestly if I was to complain about all I found unacceptable or offensive to my thinking on TV.. I'd never be doing much else. I saw nothing to complain about, this is just more about the worrying intolerance growing. Ridiculous. |

You're basically spreading misinformation to have a pop at people you dislike and your comparison is both silly and illogical because of it. Don't try to force a square to fit into a circular hole. Also, no one is saying you can't complain, we are simply expressing our own rights to our opinions on the matter. Freedom of speech works both ways, BOTS.
