    mummy is an extremely offensive term. we need to cancel all movies and books that used this problematic term.

    Why/how is this oniony?

  8. udo3 says

    Not recognizing that mummies were once real live people (an issue mentioned in article) is ABSOLUTELY NOT a problem with the use of the word “mummy.” It is a problem stemming from an incredibly ignorant, un-educated population of morons who probably barely comprehend complete sentences.

    Ahh it was the Hancock up in Newcastle, everyone would have just referred to them as “mams”

    I get what they’re trying to do (increase the treatment and baseline level of respect for the corpses of deceased humans) but I’m not sure this is the way to do it lol

    I understand wanting to emphasize they were once living people but come on. They’ll always be mummies.
