Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Baa Baa Black Sheep Banned in UK

Yeah, I'd like to see how the *** community would respond to the "rainbow sheep"...

edit: okay, not ***. let me try: homosexual

edit2: yay for PC on the pokegym!!!
 
Forget taxation without representation, it's stuff like this that forced us to revolt from the UK!:wink:

And they remove the dwarves from the title, but they keep the name "Snow White"? Shouldn't they change that to "Rainbow Rainbow"?

HAHA!!! Agreed. Funny that I didn't pick that one up... I still don't understand how people can justify this kind of crap. It's weird how a society will try and take anything "black" out because of offense, but when there is something "white", then all is well (even if it isn't referencing skin color, race, etc.). Rediculous, I say.
 
My concern is for all the kids, in the future, wandering the countryside looking for rainbow sheep
:confused:
What are we trying to teach them?! lol MG

If you actually search the forums, you'll find the answer as to why that word is censored...

As for the nusery rhyme...well...Moza said it best...

And ironic situation seeing that "London Bridge is Falling Down" isn't banned or censored from England, IIRC...
 
This is ridiculous.

I'm rainbow coloured and I find this very offensive.

I think what people fail to realize is that by actively singling out black people as needing the attention to not be singled out, and then changing a nursery rhyme, they're actually being more racist than they'd be if they left well enough alone. Think about it, if a bunch of white people change a nursery rhyme to avoid "offending" black people, then they assume that black people would even be offended in the first place, and therefore feel some need to protect them from this supposed racism, by using a different type of racism to do it.

If they truly wanted to avoid any sort of racial inequality, they'd just treat everybody equally and ignore race altogether. Totally ignore it, too. As in, not even acknowledge if you're black, white, red, yellow, or any other shorthand racial colour I'm forgetting. "So you're black, who cares?" "So you're white, who cares?"

Funnily enough, I keep getting told that that particular ideal is racist in and of itself, which is ludicrous when you realize that only if you totally ignore race altogether are you not singling out any one race over the other and therefore aren't being racist.
 
Celebrating diversity is fine, as long as you want racism to still exist. Like I said, the only way for discrimination and racism to be totally dead is to be entirely colourblind.
