I hope this isn't one of you -

Warty seems to be suggesting this is a good thing though. Books with homophobic protagonists should be banned, etc. Lots of people believe this, even if he doesn't. TV shows that satirise racism or homophobia are pulling that content, etc.

Are you suggesting that the bible and it's homophobia is akin to satire? Inneresting ....

And that Fairies wear boots!

They do!

I see them running around the streets in wellies.

I was with you until you posted that as science never stands still. So these "Wokers" - as you call them - are going to prove what we currently know about humans is wrong.

That can't possibly happen as they don't follow the scientific method. They just make things up and say they're true, and, crucially, refuse to hear any argument against it.

Sush!

You are suppose to give them the benefit of the doubt and ask them to prove their hypothesis.

Religious texts though are protected despite zero evidence of a god.

That's because the believers outnumber the non-believers. So don't get too lippy, you infidel.

Actually the original fairy tales and their donor stories make parts of the bible look a bit tame. Obviously excluding the big murders - God drowning the world but saving Gilgamesh/Noah, Herod's infanticide etc.

Apparently Cinderella's prince was a bit like AtW and had a squirrel fetish.

Indeed. Check out the film "Tale of Tales".

Just view the cancelling of JK Rowling for suggesting there are biological difference between those born as a Man and those born as a Woman - A proven scientific fact that the Wokers believe is incorrect.

zero evidence of a god.

Ignoring the weakness of that assertion as being somewhat boring to argue, where is your evidence for beauty or morality? For that matter where is your evidence that homophobia or racism is bad? Books extolling the virtues of humanism sound like just fairytales to me, giving people the false impression that they matter, in any sense, in a cold uncaring universe.

Yes.

People still write discriminatory drivel and even worse can self-publish on sites like Amazon.

I believe he is suggesting in the mainstream not some minority Authors. I doubt many of the books on the times best seller list overtly encourage discrimination.
