I predict that the new Troglodyte Congress will spend months trying to craft a Federal "Anti-Woke" bill. Of course, none of them will be able to define "woke", or explain the purpose of the bill. But, that won't stop them from diving in head first.
I am officially calling for a boycott against the boycotters. If you boycott Wicked for this asinine reason, I have no reason to ever interact with, buy from, or have anything to do with you.
In England in the 1970s/80s we had Mary Whitehouse who led a Christian group that boycotted movies anf plays...creating the "Video Nasties" list....in the end it came out NONE of them had seen a single movie they banned....they just believed right wing prejudice and bullshit.....she's feels the same
They are a bunch of uptight perverts who are miserable, so they want to make sure others are, too. Their obsession with other people's genitalia and sex lives is creepy and cringey.
Let ‘em boycott. The movie’s already made a massive profit, broken a box office record, and Part 2 is coming.
We don’t want them spreading their viruses in the theater anyway.
I think it’s a fine time to start a go fund me account & hire private eyes to follow these conservative groups and maga legislators. Bring on the mistresses, bring on the shady 💩 and then expose expose expose.
A boycott? After it has already done boffo box office since Thanksgiving weekend, and developed a huge following, both within and outside the musical theatre community?
EEEEEYUP. Just like banning books are the quickest ways to get kids to want to read them. What did we ALL do when told not to play with matches or run with scissors? Mmm... yeah. ::cackle::
They just want attention. Just like MTQ.. they do dumb shit to get it. I’ve moved along to ignore (their stupid nonsense) and redirect (focus my attention elsewhere).
Hahahaha, this is just too funny. When are these people going to wake up and realise that there isn't an agenda. Nobody can force a change of sexuality on another person. It's too ludicrous for words.
I am sure Wicked will miss these people attending their movie. They may even hold some sort of memorial service for them prior to the movie.
JFC can we just let people live their lives and quit judging people who are different from us as evil. Soon these nuts will
be screaming about people with 1 green eye & 1 brown eye being spawn of the devil.
I am so done with all of this and I don't belong to any of the categories that these asshats have chosen to judge so far. You must be exhausted. my heart goes out to you.
I usually block anyone throwing around the term 'woke' like its something that is actually tangible. Truly pathetic of them in every sense of the word. Even more so for anyone reading their bilge and nodding along like a braying jackass.
They boycott it after seeing it for the last 2 weeks and making it a #1 box office draw 😵💫🤣😂
We saw this same schtick with Barbie last year after conservatives dressed up like Barbie to walk a pink carpet premiere
Perhaps they'd like to ban "Bad Boys".
Two "lifelong friends" investigate a drug theft. One talks to "Max", an ex-lover, for help.
Men impersonate each other (metaphorically get inside another man). Big car chase (phallic), they get outed by Marcus's wife. Man on man action leaves them exhausted.
Conservatives have no desire to co-exist with people who don't conform to their backward, self-serving standards. It's all about them. They decide what's right and wrong while they themselves are corrupt and morally bankrupt.
Don't you love how the right wing loves to cry about censorship when they're the ones that engage and cancel culture the most and then cry when leftists boycott anything or anyone? I sure do.
AH, we haven't heard from the One Million Moms group in a while. Last I heard from them, they had their panties in a twist over Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls ice cream. 2011 Memory Hole:
(and to be clear, they are neither 1 million in number nor are they moms)
This isn't about what movies people see. It's about their cultural impotence. Their fringe, bigoted views are not culturally relevant. They don't set the tone of the cultural narrative, they haven't in over a generation. So they launch stupid boycotts in an effort to assert their cultural dominance.
It's so interesting how these people are always blaring about "big government" and then turn around and spend their time asking for the government to intervene (and do their bidding).
Cool. Another place I can go and not be bothered by them. I swear they are going to paint themselves into a corner and end up locked in their houses. Whatever.
Reminds me of when we took our students (Gr.3-5) to see 1st "Harry Potter" movie. One parent dragged her son out to the theater lobby & sat there for the whole film because it was sacrilegious. Even though they'd read the book she didn't know it was about witches!
This hyperfocus on sex has nothing in common w/ Christian theology - these folks are just a damaged bunch of ridiculous, sexually uptight Karens, peering between everybody’s legs & trying to micromanage everybody’s sex life. It’s a bastardized Christianity that only appeals to a bunch of perverts.
Too late and silly. It’s already tearing up the box office and every time these wing nuts cry boycott everyone else rushes to show. Harry Potter is a fine example.
I'm shocked this obnoxiousness didn't start sooner. They're usually real quick to jump on some fresh outrage so they can spread hatred.
Meanwhile, it's doing mighty fine at the box office. I might see it again.
OH!! And then let's not forget that their orange savior loves - I mean LOVES - doing then double jerk-off dance to the song YMCA - which is a gay anthem!! Sooooooo WOW! Do they ever think about what they're saying?
They don't have to go see Wicked at all. If it offends them that much, use their own damn discretion and chose not to see Wicked. They're not going to direct what I chose to see or not see, period! This is still America..🖕🤬🤬🤬🤬
I would too, except they will have the entire force of the government to bring down upon the things they don't like. And suppression of the arts is common for authoritarians.
Reminder - "they didn't burn witches, they burned women" and ugh, these ppl are kinda predictable and boring aren't they?
ps thank you George for staying in the game rather than checking out - which you certainly would have a right to do! but I am sure glad you have not. 💜
I was waiting for someone to post the real answer. They really hate looking in the mirror. Here lies the real problem. Same reason 1984 is being banned.
They're still angry. They won every single thing they possibly could. They won the White House. They won Congress. They own the SCOTUS for generations. And they're STILL angry. MAGAs are addicted to rage. They are the most miserable lot of people ever. And it's all self-inflicted.
Sigh. So let me see if I'm still keeping this straight. "We the right" can elect and worship rapists, racists and child sex predators. But same sex attraction is evil? Okay. Listen here Linda....Fuck You.

Obviously the movie got them all hot and bothered and cold showers, with massaging showerhead, ensued.
As for witchcraft, they are blathering.
You're welcome.
A. Spite people who don’t want people to see it.
B. Make sure more movies like this get made and seen.
C. Support peoples experiences and existence even if they aren’t my own.
We don’t want them spreading their viruses in the theater anyway.
Also conservatives: “Boycott Wicked!!!”
People need to be re educated lol
Boycott away. The ship has sailed.
JFC can we just let people live their lives and quit judging people who are different from us as evil. Soon these nuts will

Everyone else: Boycott Conservative Group due to allegedly pushing 'ignorant agenda'.
Who are the snowflakes now? Lol
Alice Cooper sent a bouquet of flowers to Mary Whitehouse, thanking her for making him a household name in Great Britain
This boycott will go the same way

"There's these two Black cops and th-"
"PASSSSSSSSS"
Immediate follow
🥱
Ok that’s their 15 minutes.
I have been just stumbling upon events, coming in off the street like “There’s gay things and no one told me??”
(and to be clear, they are neither 1 million in number nor are they moms)
https://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2011/09/ben-jerrys-new-schweddy-balls-ice-cream-draws-parent-boycott/
Don't even give this group the airtime, IMO
Shocker.
Or just the one with black, asian and brown people in it??
That’ll show ‘em
Conservative group turns out to be the biggest most closeted bunch of homos in history.
(oh, wait - they can't tell fact from fiction...)
Some people are incapable of feeling joy and just crab-in-a-barrel life. Intolerance just doesn't like happy.

The stupidity is out of control!
'cause we're silly...and I'm sure definitely didn't make a dent in her tainted profits from it.
JKR can rot in her festering rotted hell. She may be making billions, but not from me.
Meanwhile, it's doing mighty fine at the box office. I might see it again.

Musical theater?
These people are extreme extreme…jeez
