This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Also Brigitte Bardot is a racist pos. People, especially media, want to gloss over that because she was hot. Same with how Coco Chanel still gets venerated.
HP Lovecraft racist or rich white woman born in the 30s racist?
Marrying the advisor of Jean-Marie Le Pen ( leader of Front Nationale a far-right French political party) type of racist. Plus she called Marie le Pen (daughter of Jean-Marie Le Pen and also a fascist) the Joan of Arc of the 21st century in an interview.
i mean if she lights the pyre
That's literally the same racism, when do you think HP Lovecraft was living/writing...?
Also, we gotta stop giving old people passes. They have the ability to change, they just choose to be bigots. My 90+ year old grandma wholeheartedly embraces my trans friends even if she doesn't fully understand how or why "Robert" became "Annalise", and she had never interacted with a trans person in her life before then.
Brigitte Bardot was just a racist, xenophobic bitter POS until the end.
Lovecraft's racism was born and fuelled out of fear of the unknown. Bardot's racism is more of the common hate-kind.
Uber-racist (and homophobe, anti-feminist, etc...)
She would have been a great asset in the Trump administration
