There is an argument to be made that being isolated from your culture can be harmful but the way this is being handled is a cock up

This is a pretty tame story, relatively. Probably why it makes the news.
The nightmare is much, much deeper than anything that can be published. These kinds of stories make it seems not all that bad.

That's what plays in the media.
But at this level it's just a big fucking mess. Raw chaos. Nothing more sophisticated than that. The hard edge of all our social inadequacies. Any sense the public makes is only about what the public is fixated on.

Gone-but-made-money-off-it if Bowker's comments are correct. Seems like even if he broke even it's not really hurt him any.

Yeah financially it might not have hurt him at this moment though I would think now he's red flagged if in the future he wants to invest and be a director in an organization that wants to be seen as inclusive and respectful of Maori culture. Also he no longer has any influence in the running of the Hurricanes organization and I think that was the main gripe here.
This happened at Eagle Brewing recently and I'm hoping there's a shift where this sort of crap that's been happening forever in NZ is no longer accepted and we can initiate consequences for speech.

Take a look around - a rugby team isnt what I’d call a good long term investment. Let’s not discount the possibility that this guy has played a media game to get bought out at a good price.

And with that bit of extra change, maybe he can flick a little towards one or two of those organisations that stand up to this nonsense.

It keeps those organisations running just a little while longer, sucking just a few more people down the drain with them?

I'm talking about how rich bigots like this fellow use their cash to keep organisations that attract less rich bigots going. To keep the media filled with the kind of messages rich bigots want us to hear.

If the CEO just said something like “we need to sell tickets and sponsorship and merch and it’s a hard brand to market to dumbshit wokesters” I’d see the point. But because inclusivity and commitment to The Treaty? Groan.

Netball Queensland puts in place a diversity and inclusiveness policy.
Boys form a team, enter State Under-18s comp, smash all-female opposition teams by an average of 29 goals per win and go undefeated on the way to winning the final. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme plays as administrators struggle to deny that boys seem to be stronger, faster, taller, more aggressive, and jump higher than girls. Another great outcome for girls in sport, yaaaaaay https://www.news.com.au/sport/sports...ee9ea814102456 |

I've watched his latest Netflix stand up. He does cash in with some lazy transphobic rhetoric e.g. equating gender to blackface, equating Ali's name change with Jennier's transition 50 years later, and siding with Rowlings gender denial. Comedy is kind of a weird context as it's traditionally a hall pass for joking about controversial subjects but at the same time it is perpetuating outdated and harmful ideas.

As I have commented in the movie thread, that show of Chappelle’s is a work of art. He is so good it’s ridiculous. I don’t mean that it’s necessarily funny, although one can’t help but laugh when that’s what Chappelle intends. I think Chappelle would be best described now as a writer-commentator rather than a comedian.
One thing that finally hit meis that Chappelle has almost written his - what, five?- Netflix specials as one single unified piece of work that you need to watch in its entirety in order. Some of his punchlines are set up not in previous minutes of the show but in previous shows entirely. He’s a genius. |
