[Tommy Tainant]

A single individual cannot be a they or a them.

Art has no boundaries.

this crazy woman has totally lost the plot. How does this artistic decision cause her harm ?
Great publicity for the play though.

As you, yourself, frequently demonstrate, there are some things that just need to be mocked, in the cruelest and most derisive manner possible.

Ms. Rowlings seems to be exactly on target, here.

The shitheads that are crazy as hell are the dickheads trying to turn the very Christian Joan into some kind of a queer or whatever.

Talk about revisionism but the Moon Bats have gone bonkers.

Its a new play and explores a different vision of what she might have been. Why do you want to ban creativity ?
You could , you know, not pay to go and see it.

Why would I want to see it for free?

A single individual cannot be a they or a them.

So will people finally quit the brain-damaging absurdity of using "they" with a singular antecedent, such as "If a professor writes this, they should be fired." At least use, "If professors..."

That collectivist grammar started with radical Feminists pushing "he or she," which is also silly and unnecessary. "He" is not strictly masculine and was always the default pronoun for unspecified gender.

Thank you to the mod who cleaned up the thread.

Does art not have any latitude ?
Paradise Lost is the greatest peice of Christian art. But it is complete fiction with Satan as its hero.
Every historical work you ever saw is made up.

A play isn't art

You are confused Moon Bat.

Joan of Arc was a devout Christian. In fact all her actions she claimed were ordered by God. That is a historical fact.

For some sicko sonofabitch to try to make a queer or transsexual or whatever out of her is not art but just a depraved woke mind and it is disgusting.

And you can state all that without seeing the play.
You sound like a macarthyite.

Then you are on the wrong thread. There is no response to that nonsense.

It might be the greatest play ever written.

Woke filth is still filth even when disguised as art.

Again you are guessing. Why do you have such a closed mind ?

Decade After Decadent Decade, Generation After Degenerate Generation

This has been going on throughout the Postmodern Era, which is a prelude to a second Dark Ages. It started out with the tedious and pointless emptiness of Waiting for Godot (1952), for which the author got the Nobel Prize.

All roads to fame have been turned into muck. This is not a natural process; it has been ordered from above.

An example of hyper-intellectualism with nothing to do but revisit past greatness and attempt to co-opt it.

What?

Let's see. She expressed her opinion about something they did and you expressed your opinion about what she said. Let's put this in terms you might understand:

This crazy Brit has totally lost the plot. How does anything Rowling say cause him harm?

IOW, how is you saying this any different from her saying that?

This is incorrect. The distortion of this play into what is being presented does not rise to the level of "depraved" or "disgusting". It isn't that effective. At most, It displays nothing more than a form of mental masturbation.
