Netflix comms boss sacked for using very bad word

The Running Man said:
Even before the film 633 squadron which was on tv a while they had to put an announcement on first advising that said word was said in a time and place of that period.

Frankly it's shocking that if I used the name of the character I would get hate.

In context of talking about Guy Gibsons dog called ******. You reckon you'd get hate for its name.

I'd be more surprised at the effort required to reference a dog by name whose only notability is belonging to someone of note and having a name which is considered loaded in the present time.

Is there any other way of talking about it besides "Hey did you know Guy Gibson had a dog called ******."

- cue examining audience to see if they appreciate the edginess.

After which the potential conversation about Guy Gibsons dog called ****** really runs dry.

I'd shoot you down for being an attention whore and trying it on though.

What does that actually mean? Why couldn't he say black person or use the term 'n-word'?

I'm not sure why there is an uproar about this? A director especially has to be careful about what they say because they represent the company. They can be fired for a lot less. Non-story. It's only in the press because of the word used...

Context is obviously everything... for example:

Skip to 2:25 if you wish....

Not difficult I just did it. And the ensuing discussion that it would bring as to whether it should be retrospectively censored / banned etc

Well he was talking about its use in the comedy shows they broadcast.


So you not find it a little bit funny they can broadcast the "n-word" globally to billions every day but use it in a private meeting about your international public use of it and you get fired?
 
Well, only because they bought it. They didn't make it.

Anyway, that's an astonishing 4 shows out of 1000's with "strong black male protagonists."

PC gone mad! Bloody SJWs etc
