    Ok I will kick us off.

    Ladies and gentlemen: Garfield and Friends

    Non inclusive language

    Dancing, fiesta, romancing, siesta Samba, let's lanza... ay caramba!

    This is pretty bad. Lots of spanish words but the Samba dance is Afro-brazilian. Oops.

    I don't know what lanza is. Googling just brings up Adam Lanza busting the moves on DDR.

      The transcription I was using as my reference had "La Bamba" instead of "Let's Lanza", which I believe is a reference to a song by that name which is originally a Mexican folk song, but I'd imagine it was intended towards the covered version by Ritchie Valens, which is more popular in the USA. That's pretty damning right there, although the title of the song is presumably connected with the Spanish verb "bambolear", meaning "to sway," "to shake" or "to wobble." So there is the potential for this to in fact be a nod the IWW, who famously were popularly called "The Wobblies", although even the origin of that nickname isn't free from being weighted down by the muck of racism.

    I had a weird dream where it was the revolution, we were in a submarine and using it to knock down a bridge, but one comrade wouldnt get in and close the hatch because they were claustrophobic. then somehow within the dream i felt the painful need to piss after youve held it forever, as well as the alarming feeling of shit sliding out of my ass right this second ready or not.

    I woke up, I neither had to piss or shit, but my legs were very asleep cuz I slept in a strange position.

    Garfield and Friends is racist. Source: I love Garfield and Friends, and I am actually cryptofash. Garfield and Friends aligns perfectly with my Nick Land, neo-reactionary views.

    If it was allowed to air it's probably racist or doesn't tackle the racist status quo thereby passively endorsing the genocide of native peoples and enslavement of black people. What is Garfield and friend's stance on blm? They aren't being quiet are they?
