Every time a law is passed pulling graphic pornography out of a middle school library, wokes cry about censorship and book burning.
In reality, they’re the biggest book burners in the world.
The same people who mocked some Christians who burned Harry Potter novels launched a boycott because J.K. Rowling insisted that women are women, and men aren’t.
The wokes aren’t anti-censorship, they’re for doing censorship their way. That’s why they’re banning Dr. Seuss and now raising the age rating for Mary Poppins.
Mary Poppins, the classic film starring Julie Andrews, has had its age rating raised by British film censors because it features “discriminatory language”.
The 1964 film has been reclassified from a U, which stands for universal, to a PG, for parental guidance. In it, a derogatory term originally used by white Europeans about nomadic peoples in southern Africa is used to refer to soot-faced chimney-sweeps.
That now “exceeds our guidelines” for U films, the BBFC said.
Wokes have been claiming for a while that having coal dust on their faces makes it blackface and therefore racist. Now they’re actually putting that into action.
The British Board of Film Classification said it classified the film in 1964 and then again for a re-release in 2013.
“Most recently, the film was resubmitted to us in February 2024 for another theatrical re-release, and we reclassified it PG for discriminatory language,” a spokesperson said.
“Mary Poppins (1964) includes two uses of the discriminatory term ‘hottentots’.
Wait until they get around to Peter Pan.
I presume the movie will play with one of the mandatory Disney “trigger warnings” now if it doesn’t already.
Wokes want to decensor graphic sexual materials but censor thought crimes. They’re not against censorship, they’re the biggest censors in the world.
Chris Shugart says
The wokies see racists under every rock and under every bed. And they called the John Birch Society paranoid.
Frank b says
That was a home run statement Right on the mark
Domenic Pepe says
If you are woke,
It there follows that you are berserk.
Q.E.D. ….. quod erat demonstrandum, meaning “that which was to be demonstrated”.
Literally it states “what was to be shown”.

Treason never prospers, what’s the reason?
If it prospers, none dare call it treason.

Creation groans at the sign of what some have become. We’re living in the last days, and we’re the only ones who have good news for the world! That requires a walk with the Lord, a desire for a personal holiness, The media doesn’t, Academia doesn’t., the entertainment industry doesn’t, the politicians and statesman certainly don’t, and the woke have shown us we live in a pretty mixed up society concerning how we are made biologically.
Spurwing Plover says
Ban everything that offends the little snowflakes we’ll have nothing but I Want a New Butt or Climate Change stuff
Jeff Bargholz says
And marathon reruns of “Roots” and “The Teletubbies.”
Mickorn says
Yeah. Ban “Roots”!
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, play marathons of a TV series based on a fraudulent family history written by Alex Haley that took fraudulent and racist dramatic liberties with the already fraudulent book.
DERP.
danknight says
Fear not Daniel …
… at the rate we’re going …
… Lefties will ban straight heterosexual porn by the end of the year …
… for being cis-normative-patriarchal-oppression …
Only obese porn, tranny porn, gay porn, and kiddie porn will be okay …
Jeff Bargholz says
You forgot bear porn. It’s probably as disgusting as tranny porn.
A few years ago there were posters in some of the glass cases on covered bus stops around town that read “PrEP is for: drag queens and bears,” with three truly grotesque guys on it; a skinny tranny with pig tails in a skirt and stockings, a fat one with that garish and outlandish makeup and clothes so many of them favor, and a fat slob in men’s clothes. looked up PrEP and bear. PrEP is some kind of drug that supposedly prevents AIDS and bears are fat, ugly gay guys. The guy in the photo isn’t hairy so I guess the woketards who made the poster need a lesson in bear etiquette. I took a photo of it because I thougt it was funny in a disgusting way.
Jeff Bargholz says
I see we have a bear porn fan here. Is that you, Dickhorn?
Geeeez Wiz says
So the woke Brits will soon be re-rating classic Monty Python as X ?
The Mijistty of Silly Walks skits dies not achieve racial diversity, and they walk like old white men from Oxford.
CowboyUp says
For anyone on the planet that didn’t know, “Mijistty,” was a typo for “Ministry.” My brain usually autocorrects for those.
Monty Python, will be rated X, the name itself being patriarchal, and Benny Hill flat out cancelled.
Jeff Bargholz says
I loved the way Benny was always slapping that old mman’s bald head. My brother and I used to do that to our kid sister and brother, and called them “Bennys.” They would cry to our parents “Jeff and David gave me Bennys!”
Jeff Bargholz says
“British Board of Film Classification?” Thank God those ignorant morons have no control in America, because our left-wing/politically correct/moonbat/wokes are bad enough. Like all racist “woke” fanatics, the BBFC woketards are historically ignorant and have been reading too much Weakapedia.
The term “Hottentot” was never a Dutch pejorative for the bushmen they encountered in the Southern tip of what is now South Africa, who were cattle ranchers instead of hunter gatherers as the ones much farther North. The mid 17th century Dutch intermarried and interbred with the Hottentots and there is absolutely no evidence that the term is racist or offensive. Nobody racist intermarries with another race, THAT”S IMPOSSIBLE. The term sure didn’t offend the Hottentots because they often used it when conversing with the Dutch. It only offends the perpetually offended woketards who currently plague Western societies and are so incredibly ignorant and stupid that they think bushmen are negroes. The hyper hypocrites are such Big B’wana colonialists and racists that they stupidly call the hunter gatherer bushmen “San,” which isn’t a tribe, ethnic group or race, it’s a pejorative the rancher bushmen used for them long ago. They call the bushmen descended from the ranchers Khoekhoe because they decreed that the last term they used, Khoikhoi, was racist. (WTF?) Those people don’t use either term for themselves.
I saw a re-release of Mary Poppins” on my seventh or eighth birthday and there’s nothing offensive about it at all. It’s a great movie for kids. Julie Andrews played a governess of a boy and a girl, and Dick Van Dyke played her chimney sweep friend, so both boys and girls were able to enjoy the film. I know I did. I asked to see it for my birthday. Both the Andrews and Van Dyke characters were working class so no wonder wokesters hate them. Walt made wholesome movies, never never offensive ones. Only the current Disney does that, and its movies are offensive to the overwhelming majority of Americans. Disney hasn’t had a hit since 2019. Even last Summer’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” lost an estimated 100 million dollars.
Wokesters will never be satisfied with society, not even if it were to go full retard.
CowboyUp says
Thanks for the background, I just knew that Hottentot women were known for their incredibly large glutus maximus. You just explained why a childhood friend’s mom had that body, though she was ‘white.’
The point is that the left is never satisfied. Change is a constant, but theirs is rarely an improvement, and made just for the sake of change and disruption.
Jeff Bargholz says
Those chicks do tend have big butts, don’t they? The “scientific” name for genetically inherited big butts is “steatopygia,” which makes it sound like a deformity or something. I love them and most of my girlfriends for the last four years have them of varying sizes. Stone age Europeans and a lot cultures from the ancient world around the Mediterranean and the Eurasian Near East made lots of clay figurines, statues and even paintings of women like that so they must’ve digged them, too.
“The point is that the left is never satisfied. Change is a constant, but theirs is rarely an improvement, and made just for the sake of change and disruption.” That’s for sure.

Standing ovation! Now THAT was good!
NAVY ET1 says
There once was a girl named Mary,
Then ‘hottentots” the woke found contrary.
Sensitivities skyrocket,
Until out of their pocket,
Fell porn they got from the library.
Kasandra says
What we have here is what James Lindsay refers to as “the iron law of woke projection.”
Onzeur Trante says
Soon there will be nothing left to ban. That’s reassuring.

“The issue is not the issue. It is always about the revolution.”
Mickorn says
I think it’s hilarious you don’t even know what JK Rowling’s argument is. It ain’t what you think it is.
Jeff Bargholz says
He obviously does now. Men are men and women are women is self explanatory, dimwit.
Mickorn says
Comparing giving a film a PG rating to burning books is classic Greenfield.
Jeff Bargholz says
Giving a wholesome movie such as “Mary Poppins” a PG rating is WORSE than burning books, because some books are obscene, some present lies as facts and others incite violence, stupidity, racism and other toxic notions and acts.
Miranda Rose Smith says
Anyone besides me remember Johanna Spyri’s beloved children’s classic, Heidi? There’s a scene where Heidi is teaching Peter to read, using a book of rhymes about the alphabet. One of them is “He who hesitates on Z/ With the Hottentots shall be.” Watch out,lovers of Heidi
Jeff Bargholz says
My sister read “Heidi” and liked the Shirley Temple version of the movie when she was a kid.
I wonder if the reference to hesitates on “Z” line refers to Zulus?
Miranda Rose Smith says
I don’t think so. There’s a rhymevfor each letter of the alphabet, and they are scary. One of them is “If W you still ignore/ Look at the rod beside the door.”
Johanna Spyri wrote other books besides Heidi. One of them, Veronica, is darker than Heidi, and contains melodrama
Veronica is a teenager and there’s a villain with the hots for her
Jeff Bargholz says
Wow. Reminds me of “Lolita” for little girls to read.

Revisionism in movies. Revisionism in books. Revisionism on the internet. Makes it harder to understand what the viewpoints of earlier eras were like.
