The entertainment industry, particularly as
represented by Hollywood, is a vast, virtue signaling, repository of frauds and
hypocrites.
In yet another recent example of this, Warner Bros.
admitted to cutting scenes with gay dialogue out of its latest
"Fantastic Beasts" movie in order to appease Chinese censors. The company released a statement to News.com.au
confirming that it complied with the CCP’s censorship request. It read: “As a
studio, we’re committed to safeguarding the integrity of every film we release,
and that extends to circumstances that necessitate making nuanced cuts in order
to respond sensitively to a variety of in-market factors. Our hope is to
release our features worldwide as released by their creators but historically
we have faced small edits made in local markets.”
WB is “Committed to safeguarding the film’s integrity?”
But circumstances may “necessitate making nuanced cuts?” To “sensitively”
respond to certain “in-market factors?” What a load of tripe.
Would WB have
made the same “nuanced” cuts to appease American Christians? Of course not. We
all know that. It would have called them intolerant, red-necked bigots. But
China can dictate the content of its movies. (As can some Muslim nations, as
well.) Because, well, that’s different. That’s their culture, and WB doesn’t
want to offend the Chinese or their Communist overlords. A thought
experiment: would Warner Bros. have publicly admitted today to removing gay
dialogue at the behest of Putin’s Russia?
The brief scenes/dialogue referenced were excised
from Warner Bros. new movie titled "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of
Dumbledore.” They were statements Dumbledore made about his same-sex attraction
to the character Grindelwald.
Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. is,
like Disney, an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment
conglomerate. Like Disney, it is headquartered in the People’s Republic of
California. Burbank to be precise. Like Disney, it is steadfastly “woke” when
it comes to America, but equally craven and nauseatingly obsequious when
dealing with China.
Where is the leftists’
outrage about WB hateful decision to appease Communist tyrants at the expense
of the LGBTQ community? Has anyone heard from Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, or Regina Hall?
I suggest
Warner Bros. rename the movie in the interests of truth and transparency. It
should be retitled “Fantastic Beasts: ‘Don’t
Say Gay.’”
