I find Die Hard offensive to everyone who's ever died at the hands of terrorists and every cop who's ever died on duty.

Jesus Christ Darq, who shit on your cereal this morning. People have written whole paragraphs of the most extreme bigotry on this forum and you flip out over one vague sentence.

FYI, Alladin, like most Disney movies, has some very problematic themes.

I totally get your point Darq, but man, for a moment I thought you were Dennis. Wink

man, darqcyde, it's so great you could come back and instantly remind us how much of a fucking cartoon you are.

Lol, OK, man.

Obviously you're not interested in an actual conversation (or in even understanding what I meant before creating a bunch of caricatures), but just to clarify for anyone who is interested in knowing/hearing more on the subject of what about Django unchained is problematic (and hint: it has nothing to do with it being "OMG too soon" or whatever other strawman you want to dream up), I'll just leave this here, as it covers most (but alas, not all) of my feelings on the subject, and I can't find the article I'm actually looking for.

And FTR, I didn't even say I disliked either the movie or the strip. (Movie is OK, strip is OMG SO PRETTY) Because you can like problematic things. And that's OK! (as long as your recognize the problematic bits.)

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go remove baked treats from my oven.

yeah, the 'too soon' was probably my favourite bit as well.
