Doesn't matter to them, really. The confederate (war) flag refers to a pivotal period in the history of the US, and one that was started, among other things, by disagreements over slavery. In fact, the flag refers to the side promoting it, and these days with the whole black lives matter and debates on racism going on, showing it on anything is a no go. In fact, the flag has now been banned in NASCAR, and even more importantly, the state of Mississippi passed a change to their flag to remove the confederate design that was on it.
Could they remove the flag from the General Lee? Sure, some would applause it, but others would condemn it. Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't...
Now, Back to the Future!
Gigawatt I have to keep an eye on, if anything my wife and I love the trilogy.
As a non American I can understand that but the car unaltered is a big part of culture and a part of people's childhoods imo regardless of what people who have no interest in these things think. I find most people that find issue with these things A) aren't fans and B) are just constantly offended and never happy.
Look at the silliness surrounding the syrup stuff and coco pops for example.
I know marvel invented Hydra to skirt around the Yahtzees but if a storyline came out with a character or a con wearing a Yahtzee symbol, or something akin, I think a lot of people would still buy it in spite of the terrible atrocities they carried out. To be clear I'm vehemently opposed to the Yahtzees.
Iirc drift wore a rising sun on his alt mode which can be construed as offensive but it's there and people bought it. I know Asia don't particularly bend to the cancel culture.
It's about where the book stops like there's countries that could probably be annoyed at Sky Lynx as he bears the USA flag but I'm curious if that would actually stop someone from buying it.
It's a fascinating conversation.
I'm looking forward to this BTTF crossover and I hope we get many more like The General Lee, The A Team van, Starsky and Hutch, The Mystery Machine, TMNT party wagon and the Batmobile (huge possibility from Adam West, 89, Animated series, Bale Batman and Batfleck). I believe the demand is there for sure.
Looking to swap a takara Titan class fortress maximus head for a Hasbro US retail Titan fortress maximus head.
Would alternatively buy a Hasbro US retail fortress maximus head on its own if anyone had one for sale.
PM me.
