Is it the same affliction that seemingly hit “The Tap Dance Kid,” which scrubbed any reference to a character being fat? Lyrics in “Music Man” were changed so as not to possibly sound anything less than feminist? Of course that’s going to water everything down. How can anyone tell stories this way??
The phrase “PC police” used to be a dog whistle used by conservatives afraid of positive change, but I fear the pendulum has now swung so far, the phrase is becoming something truly worth fearing. |
