[It might be synonymous with Halloween – but a major
arts organisation has banned the word “spooky” from its shows. Despite everything from supermarkets to VisitScotland planning to use it in the lead-up to October 31, National Theatre Scotland (NTS) has dropped it after spooky was flagged up as a racist slur.] Bonkers Scotland https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/w...eatre-25230669 |

Right? People wouldn't carp on about "cancel culture" if censorship didn't happen for such stupid reasons.

The two meanings of the word spooky.
1. Sinister or ghostly in a way that causes fear and unease. 2. Easily frightened; nervous. A quick Google search is the only thing these organisers need to do.

I don't know why on any level that the word spooky could be taken as racist. |

It seems the only word Scotland doesn't want to acknowledge is "woman"

I'm going to work in the word 'spooky' to at least one conversation a day for the next week.

Who got upset at "anti-woke gammons"? That's exactly the type of people these outrage articles are aimed at.

Its impossible to not cause anyone any offense. Its just not a thing that can ever be done.
While its good that this seems a bit nonsense..its not exactly an uncommon thing these days.
