You can't make this stuff up. Green-skinned people are under attack! The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has decided to issue a trigger warning for "Wicked," citing concerns over discrimination against a "green-skinned" people.

The film follows the friendship between Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman with green skin played by Cynthia Erivo, and Glinda, a popular rich girl portrayed by Ariana Grande.

I didnt knew that England was located in planet Namek... Or Azeroth.

A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin colour. A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending manner by able-bodied people. Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society.

This one isn't even the standout dumbest, literally everything they list is so r-slurred :marseyxd:

threat and horror

Occasional threatening scenes include fantastical creatures and human guards chasing after two women. People narrowly escape an explosion. Monkeys appear in pain and distress as they grow wings, and there are brief scary moments.

s*x

People flirt with each other, and it is implied during a dance that a married woman becomes pregnant by another man.

injury detail

A man is briefly seen with a small scratch on his face.

There's no way I don't blame women for the existence of these agencies :doomerchud:

Honestly if you're around me for 15 minutes and say nothing in a condescending manner I'm going to think you're being dishonest and sneaky and up to something.

The legend of the green children of Woolpit concerns two children of unusual skin colour who reportedly appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England, sometime in the 12th century, perhaps during the reign of King Stephen (r. 1135–1154). The children, found to be brother and sister, were of generally normal appearance except for the green colour of their skin. They spoke in an unknown language and would eat only raw broad beans. Eventually, they learned to eat other food and lost their green colour, but the boy was sickly and died around the time of his and his sister's baptism. The girl adjusted to her new life, but she was considered to be "very wanton and impudent". After she learned to speak English, the girl explained that she and her brother had come from a land where the sun never shone, and the light was like twilight. According to one version of the story, she said that everything there was green; according to another, she said it was called Saint Martin's Land.

Maybe I'm just too stupid to have Media Literacy™️ but isn't the green skin discrimination an allegory for racism and that's the major plot point of the show. She's talented but misunderstood because heckin munchkins did a racism or some shit.

Trigger Warnings are a way to treat audiences as little children. It comes out as a lecture, as if being told you're too stupid to process a film, or work of art, on your own. You basically need to be talked down to. It amounts to an absolute insult to our intelligence.

What does the author think a ratings board does? They're literally there to decide if something is appropriate for little children

Ehhh there's a difference between saying 'stuff in here not for kids, leave em at home' and wading into the nitty gritty of everything that could possibly upset someone. If you really need the second for some off reason you can independently find an in depth review website.

Assuming someone is so fricking sensitive they'd be insulting by a green person facing discrimination in a musical is insultingly infantilizing, I get the push back.

The film is rated pg so they'll go into every tiny thing anyone could possibly care about as that means appropriate for basically any age, that's just what they do.
