When I was a kid, it was the right who constantly insisted on bowdlering literature, plays and movies, who complained about freedom of speech when it offended the masses, who worried about art ‘going too far’ and outraging sedate society. Now it’s the left, only they seek to enshrine their prejudices in law.This time it’s not in the realm of locking up people for supposed ‘hate speech’, it’s a less radical but no less outrageous rewriting of Peter Pan because it offends the sensibilities of the professionally offended.
Rewriting one word of Barrie’s play or story is an impudent affront to this director’s betters. She will never in her life write, direct nor create anything as long lasting, influential, profound or sublime as Peter Pan.
She should keep her filthy, SJW hands off it. Just because this year’s mores and prejudices seem to deem PP “problematic” doesn’t mean we should start carving up a classic to suit this week’s twitter mob. What’s next, Shakespeare? The Bible? This bint and her mob are Philistines who aren’t fit to lick JM Barrie’s boot, let alone defile his play and story. Why not do another season of The Vagina Monologues instead? Oh yeah, they’ve been deemed too “problematic” to pass the batshit crazy left’s muster.
A reminder that the radical left never create or builds, it only tears down and destroys, like the jackass kicking down the barn some craftsman has built. Boycott this travesty, even though it has all the diversity and depth and pure joy any true lover of the arts could wish for, the leftist scolds insist on sucking every bit of originality and meaning out of it. Hard pass.
