The Netherlands has a *really* bad racism problem that I feel most non-Dutch people are unaware about because they think of it as this progressive haven or unity or whatever.
_alexpine_ on discord. 2018 was HOW many years ago?!?! 2 correct unidentified/lost media solves out of my probably hundreds of bad guesses isn't THAT bad of a track record, right?

Wouldn't be TOO surprised considering one episode of Purno de Purno season 5 called Zwarte Sjakie had a blackface character in like, 2007. Dutch company Phoenix Games B.V. also accepted Snow White And the 7 Clever Boys for release on PS2 that same year &... well...
Wouldn't be surprised if they have some deep hatred towards the French as well considering Belgium's Northern side speaks Dutch while the Southern side speaks French. And by that sense, they could also have some hatred for Quebec.

<snip> Not sure on what race issues are like over there, but LGBT+ people are FAR more accepted in the Netherlands, the UK's Southeastern neighbor, than really any other country that has ever existed(say what you could about LGBT+ folks in America having job opportunities all you want, the USA could never even come CLOSE to the level of acceptance that the Netherlands has reached. Not even Canada), so they would definitely be peeved. </snip>
My bad; I didn't see that the post was from a month ago.
It would in fact be accurate to say that this thread is a trainwreck. Should probably be locked before we start talking about cookie sneaks.

Saw some more lost/found media that did not live up to the hype: Buzzy Boop at the Concert, a previously lost cartoon short from 1938. I have watched both of Buzzy Boop's cartoons now, and I'd describe her as the Cousin Oliver of the Betty Boop franchise. Betty appeared in one more cartoon, introducing her rather flavorless successor Sally Swing, before the Betty Boop series was quietly put to bed. Sally Swing never caught on, despite some rousing singing from a teenage Rose Marie, and no further shorts starring her were produced.
