dukes of hazzard got pulled from TVLand cuz muh confederate flag

https://variety.com/2015/tv/news/tv-land-dukes-of-hazzard-confederate-flag-1201532627/
what exactly is this intended to accomplish

this controversy is worse and more fucking pointless than ferguson and gamergate combined

'oh no i can't handle history because it isn't politically correct!!!!!!'

its like fucking persecuting BBC for doing a program on hitler's regime

outside of removing it from the south carolina capital building its completely pointless to bother with trying to rid the world of the rebel flag because it does absolutely nothing productive for anyone

seriously this idea that you can ban anything because it hurts muh felnigs is so stupid
this isn't going to stop is it

of course when a symbol is so well known that it has a fucking pony character to go with it, you can kind of tell that this is never going to work in a hundred million years, soooo

just end everything seriously this is so stupid

do you really think that the quebecois are going to give up a symbol of their nationalistic bullshit because some losers who dye their hair neon and who have no problem driving people to kill themselves want them to when they've spent almost their entire existence fighting the canadian government and in general fucking their neighbors shit over
