Polls: Entertainment & Arts

I live in central Europe, where many of the old American series like Friends, Married with Children, Step by Step, Alf, Everybody Loves Raymond and others are still broadcast regularly on our cable TV channels, sometimes even on major TV channels. Are these series still airing on some American TV channels, or are they only available on the internet and some platforms like Netflix maybe?

We have all seen this happen before where they take a main character in a story within a book, tv show or a movie then transform the ethnicity/ gender into something else.

Now I understand the importance of representation in media to attract people to identify with characters and be motivated by them. Such as movies such as Black Panther for African Americans, Atomic Blonde for women , Miles Morales in Spider man for Afro-Latinos, etc etc.

But they are original characters with their background woven neatly into the characters identity. Instead, we are seeing swapping the origins and changing the core of the art for virtue signaling which throws off the entire dynamic that the writer worked so hard to do.

It just feels weird and it cringes the shit out of me when it’s forced. What do you think? Is it important to force it at the expense of the original art or should we leave it alone?

Which is your dominant side, left or right?

I am mostly Left handed, but I do prefer my right arm/hand for certain tasks, such as cycling one-handed.

There are other things for which I have no preference for either hand, and I play musical instruments the normal/right-handed way. I also prefer to shoot from my right shoulder.

Honestly I have no idea whether I should be classified as mixed-handed.

Where are my fellow lefties? #southpawsunite
