        It’s even crazier to watch tv you have to have a license… I never knew that. But it’s like paying your non-over the air tv bill.

          It’s better thought of as a tax that funds the BBC, but it can’t be called a tax because it’s not run by the government.

          It’s an outdated idea though that doesn’t make any sense in this era because it means that technically if you want to watch any live TV at all then you have to pay the BBC money even if you don’t watch anything by them.

          Or you could just not answer the door in the extremely rare case that any enforcement officers actually come around and instead watch TV for free.

          It pays for quality BBC programming. BBC News is horrible, but BBC dramas, documentaries, and kids shows are top-tier and I’d happily pay for that, license or tax or otherwise

        Yes, and “leftist” governments die on the hill to defend them, so they won’t be the pervert party or the real misogynists.

            Yes, but ultimately centrists cosplaying as “sane leftists” are the ones who do many of their biddings. Sometimes actual leftists too, because “this kink is problematic”, “women are regularly forced into sex work”, etc.

              It still sounds largely like a problem of a conservative agenda creeping into mainstream

      The protagonist seems to have a bussy and they don’t make any trans jokes so at least there’s that

      I thought I was the only one

      It’s for sure made by one of them without even the slightest irony that those “freedoms” are being stolen by them
