This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.
NOTICE: Some online security services are reporting that information for a limited number of users from this site is for sale on the "dark web." As of right now, there is no direct evidence of this, but change your password just to be safe.

We used to joke that Mel Brooks could never make a film in today's social climate.

No thank you. I don't need some social justice busybody putting my entertainment "Into the proper social context". Piss right off with that nonsense.

It's a miracle that Blazing Saddles was made then.

Yep. And that was just the usual corporate studio nonsense.

This movie is actually the strongest anti racism message i have witnessed in comedy form. Its a staple on how things should be. But i think the ''progressive thinking crowd'' will try to appropriate everything that is popular or ''not sjw enough''. They just cant do it otherwise and they certainly cant create anything good with a message thats popular. It has to be as subtle as a brick ergo it cannot be good. They really are in a cul de sac.
