"From Ru Paul and his merry ladies, to Orange Man in the White House. When is it okay to make fun of men wearing makeup? Would everyone who refers to Donald Trump's Tangoissimo be equally as comfortable with politicised ridicule of trans women in unconvincing foundation and rouge? Are we only allowed to laugh at those who don't "pass" the naturality test? What puts The Orange Don squarely in the centre of the Overton window of acceptable ridicule? Can we all ridicule men who wear makeup if we don't agree with their politics? Or perhaps women without makeup? Life is very confusing nowadays." Back in the olden days there was a very popular telly box show called Spitting Image and it was hugely popular and I would say very important, not only did it satirise politicians it also did the same for celebs and prominent figures. It managed to do it in a way " in my humble opinion" that didn't discriminate it took the piss out of everyone, no-one was exempt. Trump has a massive God complex and ego, and a narcissist, if you were to make up a politician to take the piss out of you probably couldn't make one up as superbly as Trump. Are you suggesting we censor opinions? Taking the piss has been a staple of the British psyche for ever, learning to understand the difference between discrimination and just taking the piss is important but cancel culture is just as discriminatory and narrow minded as bigotry. So as long as Trump is doing what he's doing, saying what he's saying and acting as he does, I for one will continue to take the piss. | |||

" So as long as Trump is doing what he's doing, saying what he's saying and acting as he does, I for one will continue to take the piss. " Trump is an egotistical bully. He's a poor ally and prone to stabbing erstwhile friends and allies in the back if it's expedient. He's a possible r@pist and a definite sex pest. He's a misogynist and is very possibly racist - at the very least, he makes fun of racial features and laughs at stereotypes. He has little regard for world order, and is overall dangerous. That's not to say that everything he does is tainted or bad by virtue of these things, but he isn't a poster child for virtue. Nor does he pretend to be. Satire is wonderful - it lets us punch up and plays to our sense of humour and fairness. It lets us tackle difficult subjects without bursting into tears. But how far can we go? Obama the n****r? The sl*ve? The raghead Ayatollah? Netanyahu the $$ grabbing Jew with space lasers and a hooked nose? When we open the door to ridicule based upon certain things, we can't close it that easily. It becomes casual. If we can laugh at Trump in makeup, why can't we laugh at Caitlyn Jenner for her terrible attempt to look feminine, including the makeup? The opinions shouldn't be censored. People should have the right to offend and be offensive. But those who refer to Trump's make-up would often be horrified if someone were to make fun of a man wearing makeup and looking ridiculous in other circumstances. You will find no sympathy for Trump from us. Just interest in what certain people find acceptable when shoes are on certain feet. | |||
