@bbuk You could’ve picked housemates like Kerry, Hallie, or even housemates from the Channel 4 or 5 eras, so why Emily? Nobody wants to see her, she represents everything wrong with the country right now, such a boring choice. People are tired of political arguments, give us fun again!
@MATTHEWMOR89988@UK6Foot5Guy@danwootton Absolutely. everyone deserves respect, even people I disagree with. But respecting someone doesn’t mean excusing hurtful words or pretending bigotry is just a different opinion.
@theoneriva@MATTHEWMOR89988@danwootton Trust me, I can take a joke. I just think there’s a difference between comedy and cruelty. one makes people laugh, the other punches down.
@theoneriva@Doppler33978032@danwootton Well, I’ll take woke as a compliment then, my mum raised me to respect people, not belittle them for being different. That’s just called having manners.
@Doppler33978032@danwootton maybe because butch straight men don’t get bullied for being a butch straight man.
They don’t get mocked, sidelined, or turned into a joke.
People forget there’s a difference between doing an impression & mocking someone, and that’s not me being woke, it’s just basic respect.
