I thought it was about the history of flamboyant shrubbery on ye’ olde’ boob tube.

E-DUB, from context in this thread I’m assuming that we’re discussing how Yeoman Rand’s pubes are teased to match the hair on her head, but I could be wrong.

If you want to make a movie/TV epi about Brooklyn Italians or Boston Irish and you couldnt use racist language then you would seriously dilute your work. Language that reflects reality should never be banned.

Language also causes reality. (Which is a difference between racism and genitalia.)

I’m not saying it should be banned. I’m saying it should require warning notices, and should not be used gratuitously. And if other portions of a movie/TV epi about any particular group that used/uses racist language are significantly unrealistic, realism isn’t much of an excuse.

**Modnote** : I think this thread has headed well into the misogyny area by this time. I’m going to close it at this point. We’re far afield from the Op now.

**To All:** If there are aspect of this thread anyone wished to continue discussing, consider a new thread and please try to consider we’re trying to make this board less misogynistic.

_This is just a guidance, not a warning. Nothing on your permanent record._
