Nach NECA hat es jetzt auch die drei geplanten Enterbay Figuren erwischt. Massiven Protesten zufolge verharmlosen die Figuren die Schrecken der Sklaverei. Die Political Correctness treibt hier wieder seltsame Blüten. Enterbay veröffentlichte gerade auf Facebook folgende Meldung:
Django Unchained has been targeted by a barrage of criticism for its depiction of slavery in America’s Antebellum South in the 19th century. Among the most outspoken opponents of the merchandising move was Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and director Spike Lee who called for a national boycott of the film and its merchandise.
The Weinstein Company has officially informed ENTERBAY to discontinue our Django Unchained figurine after receiving complaints that the dolls were offensive and trivialized the horrors of slavery. The Weinstein Company released this statement: “In light of the reaction to the Django Unchained action figures, we are removing them from distribution. We have tremendous respect for the audience and it was never our intent to offend anyone.”
