Fireman Sam dropped for not being inclusive


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A fire service says it will no longer use Fireman Sam in its promotional material because the character is outdated and not inclusive.

Lincolnshire's chief fire officer Les Britzman suggested the long-running children's TV show had stopped more women from joining the fire service and should be renamed "Firefighter Sam".

The service will instead use its own characters, fire extinguishers Freddy and Filbert, in future promotions.

Changing the name fireman to firefighter is fine with me .

Imagine being a guy who works in a job that always has women in the name lol.

However I see no reason to get rid of the guy. Men are allowed to be firefighters too. White males aren't allowed to be anything anymore...

Yeah just rename him Firefighter Sam. There's apparently already female characters on the show, so just rename it to the more modern definition and I see no problem.

I've seen them respond to non fire  emergency calls--but I rarely frequent fires. While I'm sure there are quite muscular ones, the ones I have seen I wouldn't want count on carrying me out of a burning building.

Well, the world is full of things you're unfamiliar with, isn't it? 

Compassion, fairness, education...

What's next?  Postman Pat?  There must be hundreds of professions that end with 'man'.  Fisherman, Taxman, Ombudsman, Barman, Cameraman, Chairman, Linesman, Postman, Fireman.....etc

The word 'wo-man' ends with man.  How offensive.  lol.

 

1981 - A lovable postman going to work  :D

2019 - A misogynist white supremacist  :devil:
