The only things I wanted on this list and honestly could've lived without are DirectX improvements and 40% smaller windows updates, lol

I wouldn't describe these minds as conscientious so much as "illiberaly liberal"

Oh, yes, I was just citing the OP, it wouldn't be my choice.

I wonder if Illirik is brave enough to make a selfie with one of the yesterday-OK, today-awful Dr. Seuss books and publish it on the social networks. Just to test how many conscientious minds will try to get him fired.

Why would I take a selfie with a children's book containing racist caricatures? I don't have any of these books and certainly don't want any.

Your standard of racism must be very extensive if you consider said pictures racist.

IMHO they are just stereotypical, but engaging in visual stereotypes is not the same as racism.

I think the modern standard of racism is just being white:

Stereotypes? Maybe. I have not seen them. It sounds like people are describing racist stereotypes, and using racist stereo types is racism, surely?

I've been thinking about this as well — especially in regards to the excessive amount of grim, cynical, and depressing content across many modern streaming services as well as general media. I'm not sure if I've lost my taste for it or if there's a trend here. Either way I've seen it as a prevalent theme of storytelling currently. I wonder if storytellers are molding to fit their audience or the other way around...

Ever seen Psycho-Pass? It explores some of these notions in greater depth.
