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!

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.

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

Good to get a chance to see you post again Jack_

I again agree.

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.

Karen goes beyond gender tbh, anyone can be a Karen. I've encountered far more men in my life that are pure Karens then I have women.

As have I and I agree in sentiment, but at this point the term is used too frequently by misogynistic people to make misogynistic statements aimed at women for it to get "a pass". Not really trying to start a debate on it, I just think it's a term that could do with being left behind.

I don’t think it’s fair to rebrand Karen as a slur.. the way I understand the phase is it’s used to call out and ascribe a certain type of entitled ‘I wish to speak to the manager’ mindset. The Karen subreddit is devoted to more extreme versions of this that mostly extend to anti vaxxers, anti maskers, racists, people who are extremely abusive to customer service and staff, and most of the most upvoted posts are men exhibiting this sort of behaviour..

For example I think this is a great example of ‘Karens’ going out of their way to complain about people speaking out against racism.

The individual complaints and what they are as they have not been published - i dont think they ever are

All we know is that a number of people have contacted offcom

id imagine they cover a wide range of subjects about the ill-judged performance

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?

[Crimson Dynamo]

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.
