Its definitely a movie of its time but why ban it?

Just put a disclaimer. Its a pretty good musical

None of those people said it should be banned though?

Grease is on and its so sexist but so fun happy Christmas

You can recognize issues in something and still watch/enjoy it even.

Like literally the only tweets in that article talking about banning it are rightwing snowflakes making up that the left wants to ban it. Shut the fuck up TC

The lack of LGBTQ+ representation and diversity in the cast angered others.

Ah, I see illegitimate news outlets are cherry-picking a few tweets that weren't even getting that much attention to begin with again (which always makes mountains out of molehills).

Why?

I'm not sure I've ever seen the entire movie and can't recall the ending outside of the leather outfit...

Wasn't there a song or something that implied "take it even if she doesn't want it"? As I said I don't remember shit so I'm likely way off...

Not really. They were both willing to change for each other. Pretty normal high school love shit.

It ends with Sandra Dee realizing that Billy Whatshisfuck wants a girl that is entirely different from her so instead of finding someone who wants to be with her she changes everything about herself so that Billy Whatshisfuck will like her.

I'm not here for the morale of the story, is all I'm saying.

Didnt Danny spend like the whole other part of the movie trying to change himself for Sandy? Like I think he even ended up graduating with some sports thing

You missed the point. She suppressed her sexuality and her encounter with Danny finally made her comfortable to be herself and the song is how he better shape up if he wants to be with HER.

It really is a horribly outdated message. Sandy basically has to change her values, her entire style and start smoking so she can be with Danny. The sequel wasn't really any better, the genders were just reversed. They're entertaining movies but they definitely don't hold up, culturally.

This. He was also willing to change for her as well. It shows both people willing to grow a bit for their partner who they love. I think the look of her sexy vibe sorta gets people to focus on that only

And most of them are just valid observations that some parts haven't aged well, but they are still enjoying it.

The outlet is just trying to start outrage for clicks.

This is the third example of this sort of thing I've seen in just the past few days. Pays to be a right wing propagandist I guess
