Diversity's BLM performance on Britain's Got Talent second most complained about TV moment of decade

By late on Wednesday, the total had climbed to 7,581 and by Thursday afternoon it had risen to 10,267.

This number puts it only behind Roxanne Pallett's 'punch' allegation against Ryan Thomas on Celebrity Big Brother as the most complained about TV moment from the past decade.

The Roxanne scandal attracted 25,327 complaints while Kim Woodburn and Coleen Nolan's infamous spat on Loose Women had 7,912.

Wrong... ofcom is a government approved body that serves to ensure programming reflects it's audience, in effect someone could complain if they didn't think that an issue was being addressed that needed to be.
It's not there just because someone didn't 'like' something.

Nobody is looking to undermine ofcom far from it, I believe the people who complained have abused ofcom and are totally confused as to its regulatory function.

The saddest thing is Kizzy that some people possibly only watch TV to complain against anything they personally may not agree with.

I mean, re ofcom, I never understood why they entertained complaints about BB for instance.
We were warned about the content of the programme as to sexual nature, offensive language etc; before every showing.
The complaints should have been dismissed.

Perhaps BGT ought to have mentioned what the dance routine by Diversity was to include.
Really though, it was a dance routine.

Good grief, there'll be those complaining next at the segment in 'The King and I' film.
Of a King who had slaves being drowned in a dance/ playhouse presentation.

I think there's times, ofcom needs to advise adequate warnings of content were in place.
So complaints are understood but not validated.
Then advise all programmers to announce any possible content that may be deemed possibly of concern to others.

In relation to the millions who watch BGT, a few thousand complaints are what transpires.

Of course anyone should have the right to complain, however that doesn't mean others time needs to be wasted on what I'd suspect is possible routinely maybe even possibly professional complaining.

Well thanks for that LT it's a prime example of the level of ignorance, arrogance and privilege these men have to deal with constantly. It must be soul destroying to have to filter through comments that read like this every day.

How many millions watched? And 10,000 complained. Say 10 million watched that's 0.01% of the viewership. 0.01% of 10 million does not represent the Great British Public!

If you complain to Ofcom about something you watched on television, you are a loser. A pathetic Karen that should step away from the TV. It was the same when people used to do it for Big Brother and it’s the same now

Only difference this time is, you’re most likely a racist too

Head down, delighted with the publicity

[Dogeatdog]

I’ve just watched the performance and I thought it was great, you could tell the performance meant a lot to them and I thought it was very well choreographed and very inspiring. I don’t know what the complaints are all about, if you don’t like it then simply switch the channel over for 5 or so mins is it really that hard to do?

Good to get a chance to see you post again Jack_

I again agree.

[LeatherTrumpet]

I think calling 10000 people you have never met losers/karens/racists is not such a good thing

Did we not have thread after thread about Meghan Markle where the basis of the argument was "you have never met this women so how can you judge her/hate on her"?

:/

Ridiculous comparison. No one is saying they know the innermost feelings and motives of every single person, including their friends (as happens in the MM threads). I think people are saying that there is a certain kind of person, with a certain kind of racial and political leanings that would be offended by BLM.

You should argue for the protests and explain why, if that's where you're coming from.

Hmm. I don't disagree with that to be honest; I don't think anyone "has to" watch anything the don't like the content of but unless it's actually horrendously inappropriate *cough*Cuties*cough* then the answer is to stop watching the show you don't like... not to report it to Ofcom. It is pathetic. If enough BGT fans start disliking the content, then it'll tank like the other Cowell shows, it doesn't need external regulation.

..........the unironic use of the "Karen" slur, though. You can do better than that, surely. Come on. We've entered 2020(b) now, we don't need sad misogynistic 2020(a) memes tagging along with us. It's been a long year, we're having a half-time.

No Slick Jack

[Oliver_W]

Karen and Gammon is just bringing phrenology back tbh

[Rob!]

Genuinely absolutely disgusted at those numbers.

[Tom4784]

Anyone complaining to Ofcom about a TV show for saying black lives matter are racists tbh. It reminds me of something that happened yesterday, an NFL game I believe in which, in lieu of kneeling in protest while the the anthem was sung, athletes engaged in a moment of silence after the the Anthem ended and yet still a loud stadiumwide chorus of boos opposed that silence.

People can say it's not the right platform or not the right way but that's just code for saying 'I don't want to see it' and they'll oppose it no matter what form it takes as long as it's something they are watching. Racism and white privilege.
