    Is The What if Bond is modernized from a straight white male in the next film adventure? A political thread and discourse and should it be taken down? And what are the rules on political threads or discourse?

    Looks like it's been taken down. I was quite enjoying the discussions on the topic. Most of them were respectful and interesting.

    That particular discussion regarding a non-white Bond is still there. It's just that the thread title has been changed to another "What if...?" topic as is usual for that thread.

    I don't myself see the discussion of race as overtly political though for some it obviously was (see National Socialism in Germany for one infamous example). As you say, members were respectful and party politics were thankfully left at the door. As long as that's the case I don't think there's too much to worry about. If it does ever happen to get out of hand I'm sure the mods will step in to resolve any issues.

    It could well be. I didn't read much of it as I try to stay away from any contentious hypothetical matters as much as possible.

    Very sensible :D

    At least the 'what if' subject matter has now changed to something a little less incendiary...

    Yes, it's good that it has the option to keep evolving into new topics. I myself don't think there's much point debating a non-white Bond until it actually happens. It would be time enough then to discuss it.
