Grease accusato di incitamento allo stupro
Nelle ultime ore il classico del cinema Grease è stato al centro di forti polemiche proveniente dall’UK che dopo esser stato trasmesso il giorno di Santo Stefano su BBC1 è stato accusato di essere un film misogeno, razzista e omofobo.
Nello specifico le accuse di razzismo sono arrivate per la scarsa rappresentazione di altre etnie, quelle di omofobia perché nel film l’annunciatore radiofonico invita i ballerine a non formare coppie dello stesso sesso e misogino per la canzone Summer Night in cui Danny parla del suo tentato approccio verso Sandy. Una delle strofe recita infatti “Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?” ( “Dimmi di più, dimmi di più, lei ha lottato?”) che secondo alcuni sarebbe un incitamento allo stupro.
What do you think about this? Im offended that there are people stupid enough to be offended by a light hearted film! What is wrong with people these days?
Grease is 'racist, rapey, homophobic and slut-shaming' say snowflakes https://t.co/0S6lGST5wf via @MailOnline

Rewatching #grease in my older years and thinking what kind of message is this to give to young girls.

How time changes the way we see things
I'm still singing along to #Grease but now I'm seeing all kinds of problematic issues.
Gang warfare, sexism, assault, toxic masculinity, bitchy bullying girl gangs, peer pressure, slut shaming…
And we're only 15minutea in 😂😄🎬— Jasmine Dotiwala OBE (@jasminedotiwala) December 26, 2020
Grease is just toxic masculinity the musical

And the moral of the film – if your boyfriend doesn't like the way you look, just change your entire style and personality to win his heart! #Grease

Just watched Grease, the moral of the story is – for a relationship to succeed, a woman needs to change her complete personality & beliefs.

Grease has the most appalling message (change your appearance and values to hold onto a man, women who put out are sluts, boys will be boys etc) but the songs are BANGERS.

It's weird but; my biggest issue with Grease has always been the ending. Just bc it gives off such a rubbish message re: being true to yourself instead of changing to fit what a man wants you to be.

My kids gasped when they said couples had to be boy/girl pmsl Changed days, indeed.

okay also can we agree that the message in grease is the worst message ever and that the movie isn’t even that good other than the songs? like girl they really said change yourself for a man 😭

Grease is actually kinda dumb isn’t it?
Don’t get me wrong, I love it but like, Sandy changing the way she looks for a guy? For a douchebag no less? For a class A Fuckboy?!
Girl, CHANGE FOR NO MAN! If he don’t want you for all you are BOY BYE
But I do love Grease tehe 🤷🏻♀️— emjem ✨ (@em_jem_) December 26, 2020

I am happy to say that I've never watched Grease. From what I've gathered there's a school girl worrying she might be pregnant and the main female character has to change herself into a skin tight leather clad, thick makeuped chain smoker in order get the guy. Not a great message
