Mary Poppins' Rating Shift: A Nod to Woke Standards Over 'Discriminatory' Language
The British Board of Film Classification has revised Mary Poppins to a PG, "Parental Guidance" rating, yielding to woke standards that label historical realities as offensive.
The term 'Hottentot,' linked to the Khoekhoe people but now considered derogatory, prompted this change. This move, signaling to parents about content now seen as unsuitable for children, showcases the extent of woke censorship.
It highlights a growing trend of viewing historical content through a lens that often distorts and oversimplifies, branding straightforward elements as inherently offensive.
The decision fuels the debate around how woke culture's sensitivity impacts the presentation and perception of historical works, suggesting a shift towards a reality shaped by contemporary biases rather than historical context.
