Political Correctness Gone Mad Again

[Pawnless Endgame]

This country is going to look like the future in Demolition Man if all the PC idiots have there way

Yeah, I've written your line before about Demo Man, just in another PC-gone-mad thread on GD. Basically everything about the film. Alcohol and caffeine banned, sex is banned and you have to play it out in a simulator instead. No snogging either! We'll end up living in the under world.

Woppy101, you have been fined one credit for the violation of the anti-free mind statutes.

And this!

Looking at it the other way, maybe the PDC would rather upset a few Mail reading, frothing at the mouth types if that means attracting more female viewers to the sport? My wife is a big darts and cycling fan and it doesn’t bother her but I personally find the podium girls etc pretty cringy. This is at the broadcaster’s request so presumably they think it means more viewers so more ad revenue.

Yeah the list of women who would watch Darts or F1 but don't because they have a few pretty girls on TV at the start of an event must be in the millions, I expect their viewing figures will sky rocket.

Typical craven response.... When you don't have an argument just start calling people names with no further substance

But the irony of your 'blame communists' posts is that it is a direct result of capitalist wrong-doings. Blame the room full of lecherous old presidents that chose to grope the wrong girl for this snowball of changes. They're pretty ******* stupid doing it in this climate of Weinstein-style-finger-pointing, so if the worst does happen (for you) and we all take a leaf out of China's book then you can hit them up for the blame.

I often think womens biggest enemies are other women. I think what lurks behind these campaigns is certain factions trying to bring all women to fight a common enemy, men. But in reality its other women that get hurt the most.

It is, because men don't really give a crap about this stuff. The nice women vanish and we think "oh that's a shame" and then carry on. Meanwhile women are out of work and other, jealous women did it to them without giving them a say in the matter. It's achieved nothing positive in the end.

How many men would put on a posh suit, a smile and walk women on to stages all over the world for a fat pay check? I know I would.

Capitalist wrong doings? What rubbish men don't abuse women because of 'capitalism' they abuse women because of a power imbalance.

If truth be told, without the "Walk-on Girls" (I wonder if that is the result of a spelling error? Never mind) nobody would bother to watch fat blokes throwing darts at a board.

Similarly, if it wasn't for the "Grid Girls", Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Verstappen and Co. would be tearing round supermarket car parks at night.

The Walk-on and Grid girls are absolutely essential to persuade Pimply Faced Youths to drag themselves away from MMORPGs to drool over some alternative fantasy where they finally get the girl.

From a walk on girl herself

Writing on Twitter, she wrote: "I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing support and tweets I have received in the last few hours. I’d like to thank the @OfficialPDC (Professional Darts Corportation) for the best 3 years of my life, the amazing darts family,players,staff, fans."

Does that sound like someone who feels like they’re being exploited?

 

[arknor]

when do they get rid of the tennis ball boys so all the paedophiles stop watching

 

[stockhausen]

Ball boys (is that an EUphemism?) are gradually being replaced by Transgender persons.

 

[Efour]

Non issue.

If you need to get horny b4 the darts comes on you can read razzle whilst they walk up to the oche.

isnt that what they are called? because they pick up the balls? or did they change the term?
havent watched wimbledon since anna korunikova used to play

[insideline]

people who never shutup about 'pc gone mad' are just as annoying as the types they like to moan about tbh.

i mean does anyone here truly give a **** either way if Darts has walk on girls or not ? or are you just upset the idea of some people being offended by them ?

 

[Jean-F]

I get a blank page!

The girls don’t bother me, I don’t watch it, I’d prefer to have a permanent blank screen on my TV, rather
than have overweight guys in multi coloured shirts throw little spears while whooping cretins cheer them on.

The darts girls are just the way our sad wrapped up in cotton wool world is going. So I take it you are happy that everything is slowly being banned all because some people get offended? How long before tennis is banned from TV with all those short skirts and bending over? Swimming and gymnastics next, too much leg and tight clothing the pc brigade will be up in arms. Let's imprison Jim Davidson he says things that upset the minority. When will it end?

I'd do it in the same clothes the women who do it wear. Or dressed as a sheep. Whatever. If they're paying me good money to smile and walk a short distance, I'd wear whatever they wanted.

Look its fine if you don't like to look at attractive, young, women because of your personal sexual orientation or preferences but the research has been done and it is clear... The majority of hetrosexual men like to look at attractive youthful women. This has zero to do with some societally constructed patriarchy and is easily explained by biology.

Advertisers and promoters are aware of this and so use attractive, youthful women to advertise and promote products and events that have a significant market with hetrosexual men...

(Hence why we have pictures of women on monitors advertised by ocuk its not that gibbo has just returned from this weeks patriarchy meeting and decided that his contribution, this week, to oppressing women would be ensuring some of them have some employment via modelling.)

having, on occasion, attended a darts match i can attest that the audience was far from dominated by 'pimply faced youths' same goes for f1 so i don't quite know what point you think you are making.

it seems like you are trying to make a crass point by incorrectly stereotyping the audience of certain events using one of the last societally acceptable stereotypes.... that of a young acne ridden, basement computer room dwelling, horny male who can't generally get women's attention.

as i say if you don't like attractive women then that's fine. however given the relatively conservative outfits the women typically wear to promote the darts i don't think that your personal feelings have any weight.

as the petition somewhat gives an indication of this change by the pdc has not been bought in based on feedback from the audience it has come from the broadcasters and advertisers... who themselves would not otherwise care except they have seen what the violent Marxist leaning left are willing to do when it comes to perceived 'social justice' issues....

 

[bloodiedathame]

It's simple, have one sexy lady, one sexy guy, one sexy hermaphrodite, two sexy pre and post ops (of each gender), one sexy gender neutral. I think that's everyone catered for. Up to the viewer to know where to look...

 

[Efour]

For the sake of argument...

Can you really not see anyone elses point of view?
Does anyone really think having a few good looking, busty leggy women gets men to watch A sport? Is this why snooker is so boring? Not enough T&A?
If they really wanted to, they should have a couple of Chippendale type guys at women's tournaments then see how long it takes for guys to complain.

Does no one not understand that in most cases, not everyone thinks that it's a great way to earn money, (cos that's all us men seem to understand is money for a service,) "they get paid and are happy to do it blah blah bs."
Sex does sell. Undeniably but society has/is moved on. Women's make up 50% of the world why do they still get sexually exploited to please the fantasy of a few TV producers and fat old men and darts lovers?

Would you sit down with your daughter or grandauhgter and and happily explain oh those women are eye candy for the fat old promoters and players and fans of this sport that can basically dream about even being near a female that "good looking"
When you grow up you can also aspire to be one of these bits of meat, fantasy of a 55 year old man nearly 3x your age. You will be paid well though...that makes everything right.

So whatever. I appreciate, it seems like, the same old people have zero empathy for anyone or anything, but at least think about it before " pc gone mad"

I'd love to see a real PC gone mad. Truncheoning his way through a bus load of nuns, only stopped by a well aimed tazer shot.

I bet no one would complain and even if they did, no one would listen because they are only guys.

The women that walk on aren't exactly strippers. They are there to add glamour and walk the players on, so they don't have to walk on alone (which in front of a large noisy crowd, is quite stressful!)
