Title: The *%(&^$ woke brigade can't leave ANYTHING alone!
Post by: Hawkmoon on July 12, 2022, 10:22:32 PM

Now it's Popeye the Sailormanperson.

They're making Popeye, an icon of the [toxic] male, "gender fluid."

I don't think I'm allowed to use the word that describes them. [It begins with 'f']

I didn't know anyone still made those cartoons.  There is probably a reason I always like military Scifi books.  They normally aren't written by leftists.  Only one I can think of that I liked is John Scalzi's Old Man's War.  There are probably others.  I don't normally research author's opinions. 


For cartoons, be better to support something like the Rippaverse which just started up this week.  He is a libertarian.  I guess the people who would buy a new Popeye comic aren't the same customer base.
