The state of the arts today

I give you, Emmeline Pankhurst


Emmeline Pankhurst (née Goulden; 15 July 1858 – 14 June 1928) was an English political activist. She is best remembered for organising the UK suffragette movement and helping women win the right to vote. 
Next I give you singer and actress, Beverly Knight


Spot the difference? Well the difference is, Beverly Knight will be playing Emmiline Pankhrst in a musical
A musical named after the activists daughter, Sylvia
Who will be played by actress Sharon Rose


I get the desire for black people to be represented in the arts, but they could at least write some new, black centric material, or write about black historical figures
This black appropriation of white literature, media and history is getting tedious

And if the boot was on the other foot? Just image the reaction to Brad and Angelina playing Winnie and Nelson Mendela

Meanwhile, in cartoon world:

Seriously, what the actual fuck?
Why are they making a new Scooby Doo film? The barrel is seriously being scraped. Nobody has any new ideas anymore
Velma is LGBT? What, all four of them?
Who gives a crap what the sexual orientation of a cartoon character is anyway? It has nothing to do with the storyline and adds nothing to the script
Why are writers adding sexual orientations to childrens cartoons? It is still a childrens cartoon right? Or is Scooby Doo now for adults, just like all the DC and Marvel crap, that we used to read as six year olds?

Jesus H Christ on a pony!
 
And finally:
 
The new Hellraiser movie
 
 
Is that a woman Pinhead? She'd better have brought some sammiches
