It’s to be expected anytime a movie comes out that doesn’t reinforce the white male as the only character worth having. ---

Yeah, complaining about all the swearing in the Pit is kind of like complaining about all the arguing in Great Debates, or all the know-it-all 'splaining in General Questions: it suggests a mystifying level of cluelessness about what the venue in question is actually designed for. Personally, I think that using an insult like “potty mouth” in the Pit comes across rather like bringing a water pistol to a shootout. If you don’t feel like swearing in a Pit thread, it’s more effective to go the neutral-nation route and just loftily ignore all the cussing by other people while refraining from indulging in it yourself. Still, if “potty mouth” really is **octopus** ’s epithet of choice, the Pit is the place for him to use it. ---

Why the hell do you even come to the Pit when it seems to offend you so? I can just picture you, swooning on the couch, clutching your pearls and smelling salts. I’d have been fine not engaging in pit discussions up until the point those pit discussions involved me. At that point I might as well participate. Now why the swooning? I’m not swooning I just find the unrestrained nature of the board members interesting albeit abit abrasive. Think of it this way, why are the rules in the rest of the forums needed? Why are the rules here in the pit, as farcical as they are, needed? Are they needed for me or for them? Obviously, the in-group will disagree. But they’re wrong. > [@Kimstu](#): > > Yeah, complaining about all the swearing in the Pit is kind of like complaining about all the arguing in Great Debates, or all the know-it-all 'splaining in General Questions: it suggests a mystifying level of cluelessness about what the venue in question is actually designed for. > > Personally, I think that using an insult like “potty mouth” in the Pit comes across rather like bringing a water pistol to a shootout.

Given how well the movie portrays a country that is 100% African, with no colonial history (which includes the architecture, the city layout, the general design aesthetic, the clothing, etc), it’s no wonder the racists are losing their shit. ---

And they’re out in force about a woman as the Doctor. Every time my Doctor Who FB group posts any article about Jodi Whittaker the comments section is always about half “BBC went SJW!

Why are the rules here in the pit, as farcical as they are, needed? Are they needed for me or for them? They aren’t needed. TPTB wanted them, and surely plenty of posters like them as well. Plenty of other posters would prefer fewer (if any) rules. It’s not really the kind of thing where one side is objectively right or wrong, so here we are, with varying rules across the different forums. What would be nice is if the easily offended folk would stick to the areas they like and stop creeping around in here to tut-tut everyone else. ---
