There are tons of movies out there that this cancel culture can get into. It's why you can't use differing standards of today and apply them to movies that are 40 plus years old.

It's just the usual virtue signaling by the vocal minority pinheads on twitter.

I feel lucky. I retired at 45 and am not indebted to an employer. I don’t have to worry about my political beliefs causing others to get so worked up that they deem to deny me my right to earn a living. This to me is one of the most disgusting aspects of progressivism.

I work with a far lefty progressive guy and I have to literally keep my mouth shut. It's just the two of us in the area I work and before the pandemic I was unfortunately glued to the hip to this guy.

He brings up NPR articles and other far left websites and drones on and on. I can only politely change the subject so much. Sometimes he gets the hint and shuts the hell up, but not always.

I thought it was a lot of fun with some catchy tunes...

Is this a joke?

I do not know what is more idiotic. That some see Grease as 'racist, rapey, and homophobic" or that a batch of babbling fools is actually trying to interpret a stupid movie like Grease. And finding a treasure of stuff that ain't there.

Is rapey a word?

Way to not have your pulse on America. The woke will LOVE Rent. It checks all the boxes - lots of diversity and LGBT issues there.

We are lost.



I thought as a man in 2020 America we were supposed to be moving beyond objectifying women? I thought we were supposed to be dumping our "Toxic Masculinity" but watching that video it is pretty clear that those women in it want us to be dumping something else.. Is the back track really "there are some whores in the house" ?



Unbelievable that this is such a popular song that is teaching young women to sell their bodies for money but somehow Sandy from Grease sends a negative message?
Yeah well, Sandy’s white.

These wokeholes will lose their minds if they ever watch Fast Times At Ridgemont High.
