Many mods are social justice types that think the same as them. Battlefield was overrun by them, /r/Games defends the same idiocy in gaming journalism as them, etc.

I'm fairly certain at least one r/games mod is also a Ree mod. They immediately banned any thread about Alec Holowka the day his suicide was made public and no conversation or even acknowledgement that he even existed is allowed there.

Pedo Era really showed how far the Ree reach is. There was no shame and they got away with burrying the story so well that they just blatantly do the same for anything they don't want to catch the wider worlds view.

what if i told you a beloved media company's new streaming service went back on their promise to remove problematic content in the form of mid century racist black stereotypes? would you think Era would shout to deplatform these Nazis who continue to profit from racism?

Disney+: The crows are still in Dumbo
While Song of the South is obviously a no show, someone did check the Disney+ free trial, and the crows are still in Dumbo. In the future, when only one news source of dubious repute breaks a story, and everyone else is just parroting them, ask yourself why that is...

In fairness, I see plenty of book burners in that thread ready to cancel Dumbo.
And I'll stick up for the Dumbo crows anytime. Sure they're jive as hell but so what? Why is that so bad? They tease Dumbo a little but after that they teach him how to fly and become his friends. So they're actually good guys and are just cool.

To be fair though, I think that 10,000 includes temporary bans as well as permanent. Still an outrageous number though.

I think it's hilarious that Disney likes money enough that Song of the South has been released in both Asia and Europe. If Disney really cared about how offensive Song of the South was, they would not have released it anywhere.
Only on Ree do people love and worship Disney like some benevolent God. Everyone else on Earth knows that Disney is one of the most ruthlessly capitalist media conglomerates in the world. Disney are the primary drivers of copyright extension in Western nations, and the bill that resulted in the "Lifetime + 70 years" copyright duration currently in effect in the United States is referred to as the "Mickey Mouse law" because it exists solely to prevent Mickey Mouse from entering the public domain.
One very curious quirk of copyright law in nations with sane copyright laws: Song of the South has been released in Japan (most recently in 1990), and the Japanese didn't pass "Lifetime + 70 years" until last year to bring their laws in line with the EU for their bilateral EU-Japan trade agreement, so Song of the South is actually in the public domain in Japan. Strange but true.

Is Song of the South really that racist? I watched it in the 80s growing up as a kid and have rewatched it a few times since then. Yes now as an adult in 2019 some of the stuff will make a jaw drop, but it is a product of its time doing a period piece about an earlier time.
Same with Dumbo or a bunch of Looney Toons shorts. If we censor these things out of existence, how can future generations look back to see how much has changed?
These are literal cultural touchstones in entertainment, and those are usually these first place people look when looking back through history.
If we wash all that out it might look like 1920 wasn’t much different then now. How can you see how far you have come if everything that is behind you has changed?

Should you ever use an accessible toilet if you don’t have a disability?
Just had an experience where I was in a busy shopping mall when what was unmistakably a case of explosive diarrhea came on. For some reason there are ridiculously few stalls in the men’s toilets per floor (only 1 or 2), leading to me checking every single floor from B1 to 7, slowly increasing...

I saw it once in the 80's, don't remember a lot about it. As the full movie is on Youtube I guess I'll give it a rewatch, which is more than anyone calling it racist will ever bother to do.
Song Of the South is racist!
Did you watch it?
No. Why would I? It's racist!
I'm fully prepared to agree it's racist though.

Song of the South can been seen as pretty racist for a number of reasons. there is the obvious stuff about the tar baby and the very fake relationship the ex slave has with his family, which portrays this idyllic lifestyle that didn't exist outside of a few privileged people. most black folks during Reconstruction were not treated this way, so it is a whitewashing. it's very much a white person's idea of what black life was like (easy and carefree, zip-a-dee-doo-dah).
then there is all the jive talk. people say "I don't get it, they are just talking like black people" because nowadays black culture is mainstream, but it was not when the film was made. the problem is, these characters were written by white people, and written to talk in slang and act like idiotic characitures rather than solid characters. the behind the scenes story on all this is interesting:
tbh i wouldn't call the final product any more racist than "What Made the Red Man Red?" which is still featured in Peter Pan with zero issues.

i saw it in the theaters in the 80s and it was a learning experience. in many ways the racism of the film are more subtle and historical, and it's kind of a good example of old culture that could be learned from. it's a shitty film (at one point the main kid is watching a clock for entertainment) but interesting for all these reasons, and probably worth watching just for educational purposes. cancelling it seems to be standard policy tho. in the 90s it was clear they would never release this and after 2016 living in the SJW pocalypse they for sure will keep it buried.Dalton Reymond delivered a 51 page outline on May 15, 1944. The Hays Office reviewed Reymond's outline, and demanded that some terminology, such as characters referring to Remus as a “old darkie” be removed from Reymond's treatment.
Disney hired African-American performer and writer Clarence Muse to be consulted on the screenplay, but Muse quit when Reymond ignored Muse's suggestions to portray African-American characters in a way that would be perceived as being dignified and more than Southern stereotypes. Muse subsequently wrote letters to the editors of black publications to criticize the depiction of African-Americans in Reymond's script. Disney suspected that Muse would later attack the film because Disney did not choose Muse to play the part of Uncle Remus, which Muse had lobbied for.
Furthermore, Walter White, executive secretary of the NAACP, and June Blythe, the director of the American Council on Race Relations, were denied requests to see a treatment for the film.
In addition to concerns about his racial stereotypying, Reymond had never written a screenplay before or since. Maurice Rapf, who had been writing live-action features at the time, was asked by Walt Disney Productions to work with Reymond and co-writer Callum Webb to turn the treatment into a shootable screenplay. According to Neal Gabler, one of the reasons Disney had hired Rapf to work with Reymond was to temper what Disney feared would be Reymond's "white Southern slant".
Reymond's treatment included the phrases "massa", in reference to white characters, and "darkey", in reference to plantation workers, prominently. Rapf removed the offending phrases, but dialogue he added to make it clear that the film was set after slavery had ended was removed; one character in Rapf's script states, in reference to the black plantation workers, "We gotta pay these people. They're not slaves." Uncle Remus also states, after being told that he cannot read any more stories to Johnny, "I'm a free man; I don't have to take this."

About to be banned again- for no reason I can figure.
I finally got so frustrated I posted how I really felt.

Honestly, I sometimes think stories like that are posted as "ban bait".
Reading the article, the whole situation doesn't make any sense.
These 2 lads get on a flight. Then there is a delay. Then the flight is cancelled.
It's because the 2 lads are Muslims supposedly.
They are rebooked on a later flight though with some of the same passengers form the cancelled flight?
The whole story stinks.
You'd have to imagine that your average US flight crew would have seen TONS of people from all different nations, religions etc within about a week of starting the job? So how can I be expected to believe that 2 brown guys appeared on the flight and suddenly the crew are like "WHAT DO WE DO!?".
There's more to the story. For sure.
The airline is willing to take the financial hit of cancelling a flight just because 2 Muslim blokes boarded but also is willing to book them on the very next flight? Smells like bullshit to me.
Of course you can't speak up like that on RetardEra or you'll be banned.
Reminds me of this one:
American Airlines made a doctor wrap a blanket around herself because a flight attendant found her summer outfit 'inappropriate'
A Houston-area doctor boarded her flight from Jamaica to Miami when a flight attendant made her cover her summer romper.
www.businessinsider.com
I would be willing to bet that what happened was that, when she got on the plane with her kid or into her seat or when she was putting her stuff in the overhead, one or both of her titties fell out and the staff had to say "wtf you can have tits out on the flight". Cos there's no fucking way that she's the first fat black woman to fly Jamaica to the US and the staff were like "whaaaaaat, we've never seen someone like this on this route before".
These kinds of articles are posted on RetardEra specifically as an attempt to weed out the posters that have even the smallest amount of common sense.
As you say, airlines have this policy and if these dudes have been action odd on the flight then something probably has to give.
I've seen drunk dudes and rowdy individuals taken aside and then denied boarding loads of times but it would have to be something major to actually empty and already boarded flight and then cancel. Definitely not "OMG we've never seen to Muslim lads on a flight before, so lets cancel the flight and put them on the next one".
More than likely the cops took these dudes aside and told them to fucking stop whatever it was they were doing that was causing people to freak out.
