If The Bbc Are Nauseatingly Woke, How Bad Are Google ?

We have just had an E Mail from Google about a new "Family site" :

 

We've created a one-stop resource with helpful info about parental controls, online safety, digital wellbeing, family fun, and more to help you confidently navigate the ins and outs of tech.

 

The problem is not with that (apart from possibly the term "digital wellbeing"...), but with the three pictures they use in the E mail to advertise it.

 

1 - A mixed race family (as one of three pics I'd have no problem with that)

2 - Two young blokes with baby (i.e. a male gay couple family) 

3 - Two young women with baby (i.e. a female gay couple family)

 

Is there really anyone on here who doesn't think that is nauseatingly woke (as well as being statistically about as likely as winning the lottery) ?

 

As regards the actual home page of the site there seven pictures,  only one of which is a conventional family (i.e. man + woman + kid(s), and that is mixed race family (not that I would have a problem with that if there were also pictures of white families).

Given the influence of Google (and the Beeb come to that) how worrying is this ?

Where will it all end ?

 

 

I’m with you on this.

Now we are getting somewhere. 
 

I’d estimate that almost nobody that I spend time with thinks like that. 
 

Maybe you would like to share your reasons for thinking like that.  And maybe offer some proof that “most people” think as you do.

I would argue that everyone I know would think it ridiculous but super funny.

 

There's proof for you.

I take it you think it's fine.

Why do you think it's fine to misrepresent society for some PC agenda ?

If you think it's because of some PC agenda, more fool you...

 

...I'll wager it is entirely a commercial decision, based on data gathered from numerous different picture setups.

I find it very annoying that they are subconsciously trying to tell me how to think.

There has to be a reason you're so angry at so many different things... as evidenced by your many posts on this forum...

 

...what's so special about you?

I’ve just been to the hospital and the technician asked me questions on a form for me to answer, one question was / were you born a man or a women, I felt insulted, second question / do you prefer being addressed as he or her, I wouldn’t answer, just plain stupid woke ideas.

Why? Just have a laugh about it and answer it ffs, exactly the same as being ID'd in the supermarket for booze, I am now in my 40s and this still happens occasionally. Do I run to the press with sad compo face?No, I have a giggle with the staff about it, show my drivers license and the world moves on.

And folk wonder why so many people, especially kids growing up are suffering with their mental health and depression.

Poor buggers used to have to only worry and stress about whether to take French or German at school....now, due to all this absolute nonsense about gender identity, they don't know whether they are coming or going.

 

It's borderline child abuse IMO.

You could put 'not sure now, what's the upshot' - address me as Mr .....'

It's only an opinion,  it's good for people to question things,  it's helpful to enable people to know if they share the same thoughts,  it's remonstration not anger.

I find it all incredibly amusing to be honest. It's like a contest to see who can be most look at us " we really really care"

Sit back and enjoy it.

What worries me is the influence that Google have, and if they are this bad where will it all end ?

I thought the Beeb were bad* but this is a whole different level.

 

* During the pandemic when they stopped people getting married the Beeb ran a piece on couples' whose weddings had had to be postponed, it was lesbian couple. Now, less that 3% of marriages (in 2017) were for gay people, i.e. about 34X more weddings are "straight" than "gay". So why, unless there is an agenda, choose a gay couple for the piece ? But the answer, of course, is there is an agenda "we will educate you how to think".

Compared to the Beeb, statistically, Google's latest offering is off the scale particularly because Gay couples might be quite likely to adopt but a much smaller proportion have their own kids. Since both the gay couples in Google's E mail had babies you start getting to quite high numbers of statistical improbability assuming the three pictures were randomly chosen. Which, of course, they were not, and that is the whole point.

Tell me HeHsRisen, since the vast majority of families still consist of a man, and a woman and kid(s), and of those the great majority are same race, why do Google choose three family pictures which do not include any of those ?

Why ?<<

 

I really couldnt care less, it affects my life, and yours as it happens, in absolutely no way whatssoever.

If you are that outraged, feel free to start boycotting Google. You may find this tricky if you have an Android phone, mind.

Did you realise you didn't actually answer the question ?

Do you want to actually do that at all ?
