Of course it's not "devolving" into a police state. It's been a police state for decades.

There was no reference to Sharia law in the original comic or the show, it's just right wing outlets like Fox News fear mongering without any facts to back it up.clearspira wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 8:48 pmAnd does it? Have a favourable view of Sharia Law? Because I wouldn't want my kids learning that stoning women is acceptable either.BBally81 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 7:23 pmPeople like that love to go on about how the left are pushing cancel culture ignoring that not only are the right just as guilty but they technically invented it using tactics like banning books,. and remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks? Hell, from what I understand, this isn't the first time members of the Conservative side are trying to defund PBS over Sesame Street.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 6:45 pmHas that got ANYTHING to do with the yiffing topic at hand?

Lol. It was unconstitutional apparently. Imagine how nuclear the left wing MSM and Twitter would be right now if Trump did something "unconstitutional".
Can you show me a Democratic party convention banning Paw Patrol or some comparable nonsense? If not, please stay on topic or start your own thread.
A recent example, an animated adaptation of the 99 Kuwaiti comic book was set to air on The Hub but was rejected after complaints from right wing outlets like Fox News complained about the show corrupting America's children with "Sharia propaganda" that caused the broadcaster to be paranoid about losing sponsors, so the show never aired.

The closet connection to Islam is that the characters' powers come from mystical gems with each power being inspired by one of the 99 virtues of God within Islam. The comic's creator (who's critical of religious fundamentalism) intentionally kept many of the characters religious backgrounds ambiguous.

Hey-ho... although I notice that you didn't refute what I said.
So, no it doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand, beyond "right vs left" and you pretending to be some kind of impartial observer above it all while shilling for the right. And you will happily continue to drop in completely different topics and non-sequiters, then demand I refute them while refusing to answer any of my questions.
