    OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE! EVEN FUCKING SHAKESPEARE IS TOO “WOKE” FOR THEM!

    God damn, I shouldn’t let them piss me off so much, but this is craziness.

      They 100% want to turn the US into a white ethnostate. Writing LGBTQIA+ people out of existence along with forcing us into a caste system is part of the plan.

        Yeah, but Shakespeare was a white, (probably) heterosexual Englishman who mostly just wrote about other white people. How much more ethnic whiteness do they want?

        It’s Othello, isn’t it? They’re objecting to Othello.
