Grease - isn’t the word

[1198]

I’ve just been reading how the traditional Christmas showing of the film Grease has got the soft pink fluffy people annoyed at hurt at the fact it’s racist, sexist and indeed encourages rape.
I’d imagine they watched the whole film whilst their hurt and rage increased rather than just switching off.
Is there anything that doesn’t upset some soft sensitive fucker these days?

Nope

How is it racist? Because Olivia Neutron Bomb is dressed in black?

Anyway, here's a good bit of 'Fuck you Snowflakes' about Grease.

No mention of the poor black, white and brown cows that gave their lives for all the leather jackets used in the film.

I'll bet the bastards had milk in their coffee on set as well!

Why this car is automatic,
It's systematic,
It's hydromatic,
But it's highly unlikely to be ULEZ compliant.

We'll get some solar fast chargers and electric scooters instead.

Flash Gordon got it too.

Apparently only Asian actors are allowed to wear a Fu Manchu moustache and shouldn't be depicted as baddies. I suspect Fu Manchu is also racist but I don't know how else I'm supposed to referr to that style of moustache.

"Ming was of East Asian appearance and was played by Sweden's Max Von Sydow."

Ming the Merciless was a fucking ALIEN you tossers. From the planet Mongo. As is clearly indicated by his oddly sculpted eyebrows and green blood. Just like Mr Spock. The only Asian feature was a long black moustache.

The only real racial stereotype in it was Flash himself. 100% Jock.

Roots is racist, there are no white actors playing slaves.

Grease is a product of the 1970s and should be seen as such, not criticised because it doesn't meet today's PC standards. I remember going to the local fleapit to see it with my mum. I don't remember her taking offence and walking out...

I like the old Carry-On films, and this Christmas I introduced my kids to them. Even my right-on 16 year old daughter enjoyed them once she got over the culture shock.

Films should be seen in context, not criticised because they don't meet contemporary standards of right and wrong.

Also, how can something as harmless as a kids romance musical, where the worst thing is the girls dress in pink and the boys in black be the subject of so much antagonism when stuff like Saw, 300, Kill Bill etc. be perfectly acceptable.

The world is some fcuked up place.

I wonder how Fu Man Chu would stack against today's morality? I used to love that as a kid...
