'The Germans' hit by cancel culture


The BBC has removed this episode from the series due to the recent increased racism awareness.

Seriously ! the show was like 10 something episodes why would they target a single episode like that and why in the world people are becoming overly sensitive towards things that happened ages ago.

Yes there was a WW2 that happened because "Germany" which was ruled by the "Nationalist Socialist Party" aka Nazi's invaded neighboring European countries and yes WWI happened because a royal figure was assassinated and the royals in Europe decided to play War with each other to avenge and at the same time acquire more land to add to their properties while killing millions of innocents across Europe.

This is not in anyway a racism awareness ? they really want to erase history to what they like...this is stupidity.

It's obviously not because of the WW2 references, if's because the n-word and 'wog' were mentioned.

They can just mute that if they don't want it heard on their streaming service, many TV channels do that.

I don't think that people who are triggered by those words, even watch Fawlty Towers.🤷‍♀️

reply

Maybe it's time to announce "WWIII" on Italy just to erase their language because that's where the N-Word originated 🤣
