Addendum #PhenomnRevisionRemake and even #TheoryDeterminismHistoricalPresentism ? To explain, the tweet seems to be concerned with supposed media censorship. Given this, the frame here has been taken from a story fiction i.e. it wasn't real. And so, any effort to revise it can't be interpreted as censorship because doing so necessitates that the original was true (and not a fiction) in the first place. Additionally, using such an example as evidence of supposed censorship can be seen as an effort to advance a 'presentism' argument through justifying present-day criticism of cultural sensitivities through contrasting these with an insensitive example from the past. Significantly, this form of argument fails to recognise that meaning contained within cultural expressions, such as films etc. change and evolve over time; by their nature of being products of culture - unless you're seeking to claim that culture is in some way stable and fixed in the first place i.e. #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #TheorySociologySocialInertia ?

Context "Zeus Carver (Jackson) is a shop-owner, who rescues McClane from the first of Simon's tasks: sending the cop on a walk through Harlem, sporting a sandwich-board which reads 'I hate niggers.' This angle, played largely for laughs, is one which likely seems in worse taste now than it did then. [Though when shot on location, the sign was blank - the text was digitally added later, and on TV broadcasts, typically reads 'I have everybody']" https://filmblitz.org/die-hard-with-a-vengeance-1995/ #IRLActorBruceWillis #IRLActorJeremyIrons #IRLActorSamuelLJackson #MetaphorSignSandwichBoard
