Customer Reviews
I read the review hi again and I am like huh? But I think I agree
? I don’t really know ?
???
The older shows are great, but, the newer ones home around immigrants, woman, and people of color. I have nothing against this, but come on. Being a proud, white boy, I want less sexist episodes.
Call me Whisper, I am a feminine Christian.
Persona that fancy this podcast are exerting themselves due to this immature behavior happening in the review section with people like Kellia Kaen and Avocado Jean being called haters for standing up for the safety of future generations and this generation. I do not believe that what Ms. Dolo did was acceptable, this is supposed to be a family friendly podcast and children should only learn of certain things from their parents. If our world continues to be torn apart from God, what are we making of ourselves by accepting psychological lies. Although I have companions who believe in these psychological lies, I do not completely support them in that and I try to continue to brush it off instead of creating an argument that could last forever. However, I do believe that fighting for what is acceptable and appropriate is completely reasonable and I support these fighters. I do not know how I did not support them before.
Kellia and the other fighters for what is right, I greatly apologize for being standoffish and trying to accept these unacceptable occasions of innappropriate context for children in this podcast. I would appreciate it if you would forgive me for not understanding this preliminary issue.
Post Script, I still do not believe that this innappropriate context is mentioned as frequently as some are saying, but I am in fact on the "fighters" side, there are no "haters."
