Because leftists’ cultural transformation of America is retroactive, nothing is safe from it — not even the cartoons we grew up with. Velma from Scooby-Doo has been brought into compliance with current political correctness by becoming a lesbian.

As early as 2001, our entertainment overlords were attempting to corrupt the cartoon by recasting Velma as a sexual deviant, according to James Gunn, writer of the early live-action films.

From Variety:

In 2020, Gunn tweeted that he “tried” to make Velma a lesbian in the live-action movies. “In 2001 Velma was explicitly gay in my initial script,” he wrote. “But the studio just kept watering it down & watering it down…”

Nothing is watered down anymore when it comes to promoting the LGBT agenda.

To make the political correctness intersectional, Velma’s lesbianism is interracial:

If the envelope-pushing continues at its current rate, viewers can expect explicit sex scenes between Scooby-Doo and Shaggy within the next few sequels — unless the blessed SMOD puts us out of our misery in the meantime.

The scene at the end of Planet of the Apes, when Charlton Heston comes upon the neglected ruins of the Statue of Liberty lying broken on the beach, was gut-wrenching. But these days, nothing from fiction can compete with the horror unfolding in real life:

Melissa Viviane Jefferson a.k.a. “Lizzo” is a pop singer known for flaunting her morbid obesity by dressing in pornographic lingerie. Despite being extravagantly wealthy, she screeches that she is oppressed, on the grounds that America is racist. A fellow oppressed Woman of Color — Librarian of Congress Carla Diane Hayden — invited Lizzo to publicly defile a crystal flute owned by James Madison, one of the greatest men who has ever lived.

Even if it were an attempt at homage, it would be in grotesquely bad taste, considering Lizzo’s obscene outfit, her Miley Cyrus-style protruding tongue, and of course the profane twerking. It was the diametric opposite of homage:

James Madison, primary mastermind of the US Constitution, is now fashionably regarded as problematic because he lived in the 18th century by 18th century mores, because of the three-fifths compromise that allowed the Constitution to take effect, but mostly because he was a white guy and a giant.

For an encore, Lizzo might squirt diarrhea on the Declaration of Independence. One of her ancestors took its author’s name. But the family line has apparently decayed since then.

Remember when Saturday Night Live at least tried to be funny? There was a character named Pat. Wikipedia hasn’t memory-holed Pat yet:

Pat O’Neill Riley is an androgynous fictional character[1] created and performed by Julia Sweeney for the American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1990–1994.[2] The character was later featured in the film It’s Pat. The central humorous aspect of sketches featuring Pat is the inability of others to determine the character’s sex.

Amazingly, this SNL Pat skit hasn’t been memory-holed either:

Now that SNL consists of humorless moonbattery, Pat is no longer a joke; he/she/it is for real:

Actor and comedian Molly Kearney will become the first nonbinary cast member on “Saturday Night Live” in its upcoming 48th season.

Kearney, who is from Cleveland and uses gender-neutral pronouns, has appeared in Amazon’s “A League of Their Own” — a remake of the 1992 film that has been a huge hit with queer fans — as Fern Dannely.

Don’t you dare laugh at her/him/whatever. That would be transphobic.

Not that there is any danger of people laughing while watching SNL nowadays. Good thing it doesn’t need to be funny, so long as it is trans-inclusive.

The fossil fuels that allow us to sustain the current population make it be too warm out, according to liberal doctrine. Zillionaire Tinseltowner Steven Spielberg says he is “terrified” of those who “go blithely through life” without worrying about their imaginary impact on the climate. Meanwhile:

Spielberg’s plane, a Gulfstream G650, has burned at least $116,159 worth of jet fuel over the course of 16 trips spanning nearly 17,000 miles since June 23, according to flight tracking data from ADS-B Exchange and compiled by the database Celebrity Jets. The figures are likely an underestimate since the database didn’t calculate fuel and distance metrics of at least three trips made by Spielberg’s jet.

If only the hypocrisy of our moonbat ruling class could be converted into energy, we would not need to offend them by burning fossil fuels.

Spielberg’s jet has emitted at least 179 tons of carbon dioxide over the last two months.

Imagine the fossil fuels required to keep his mansion at the perfect temperature.

No worries; Spielberg makes up for it by shoveling $millions at Democrats, who impose policies that drive up the cost of air travel and drive down the standard of living, making members of the deplorable middle class ever less able to afford flying coach and heating their homes. That makes Spielberg carbon neutral. If he had a chest, he would be entitled to puff it out in self-righteousness.

Fortunately, Spielberg’s massive carbon emissions will have no more effect on the planet than anyone else’s. “Global warming is a scientific reality. It’s not a political trick. It’s a true piece of real, measurable, quantifiable science,” bleats Spielberg. His lifestyle proves that even he knows this isn’t true.

Other posturing Hollyweirdos match his hypocrisy:

Leonardo DiCaprio went on multiple fossil fuel-powered trips over the last several years while pushing for extreme measures to combat climate change.

In 2016, DiCaprio reportedly flew 8,000 miles via private jet from Europe to New York City to accept an award for his environmental activism. He then returned to Europe for a charity event.

That same year, DiCaprio took a private jet to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland. At the summit, the WEF gave DiCaprio its Crystal Award for his “leadership in tackling the climate crisis.”

As noted at Not the Bee,

Perhaps we should stop listening to celebrities who get rich off playacting.

Spielberg preaches that “everybody has to be held responsible” for their personal role in the fictional climate change crisis. It would be more constructive to hold people responsible for elevating jackasses to positions of public prominence.

John Wayne became an icon by emblematizing the rugged individualism that made America great. This is why he must be canceled. However, Wayne remains such a cultural giant that despite their efforts Democrats have not even managed to change the name of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California. A disgraceful event from Hollywood history may give them the pretext they need.

Via History.com:

On March 27, 1973, the actor Marlon Brando declines the Academy Award for Best Actor for his career-reviving performance in The Godfather. The Native American actress Sacheen Littlefeather attended the ceremony in Brando’s place, stating that the actor “very regretfully” could not accept the award, as he was protesting Hollywood’s portrayal of Native Americans in film.

What a posturing, sanctimonious jackass. Note that the award he threw back in Tinseltown’s face was granted to him for playing an Italian mobster. This is closer to a bigoted stereotype than Hollywood’s white-washed depiction of the horrific Stone Age barbarism prevailing in the wild West before it was tamed.

Having portrayed the sort of guy who tamed it has John Wayne in the crosshairs of the thought police:

While some cheered Littlefeather on, many others voiced their disagreement with what she was saying. Amongst them was Wayne, who regularly starred as a cowboy who was often at odds with Indigenous characters.

“During my presentation, he was coming towards me to forcibly take me off the stage, and he had to be restrained by six security men to prevent him from doing so,” Littlefeather told The Guardian in a 2021 interview that has resurfaced.

Whether this is an accurate depiction of the event is irrelevant. Who is going to call Sacheen Littlefeather a liar? That could get you canceled — which is the fate they have in mind for John Wayne.

Get classics like The Searchers on DVD while you still can.

The sort of moonbats who run Hollyweird love abortion, but that isn’t why they aborted Batgirl after blowing $90 million on yet another obnoxiously woke superhero movie.

Warner Bros. has stated that the film will not receive a theatrical release, nor will be made available on HBO Max, the studio’s streaming service.

Here’s why Hollyweird won’t inflict Batgirl on the public:

Tax breaks are precious with greedy Democrats running the government, but creating bombs and then never showing them because there is no audience for unwatchable politically correct garbage is not a winning strategy in the long run for Tinseltown. Someone will come along and make movies that people want to see. Those movies will not be woke.

The leftist entertainment industry passes itself off as our culture. It is not our culture. It is something that has been temporarily imposed on us, like a foreign occupation.

“Recession” is not the only word that is losing its meaning under moonbat domination. Can anyone really say what the word “parody” means, if They/Them is not parody?

Kevin Bacon is starring in a gritty horror thriller as a Bible-thumping, LGBT-hating, conversion-camp director where the queer folx get hunted down and killed “Friday the 13th” style. …

It’s filled with every anti-conservative, pro-LGBT, horror-genre trope imaginable.

Even the trailer could give you bad dreams — that is, nightmares about being forced to sit through the whole thing:

At the other end of a career that appears to be over, Bacon was the star of the camp horror classic Friday the 13th, which like moonbattery, has been parodied by this alleged nonparody.

The rebellious posturing of obsequious establishment rock bands has never been more preposterous than Rage Against the Machine’s dutiful denunciation of Roe v. Wade’s repeal. It conspicuously featured their fear of using the word “women” lest they offend LGBT cultural overlords, who demand that we believe there is no such thing. Simpering lickspittles like Rage Against the Machine say “birth-givers” instead:

If you are unclear what the establishment wants you to think, just ask Rage Against the Machine. They will scream the talking points even louder than the mainstream media, and provide the added benefit of letting you feel edgy while you submissively obey.

About Catholics defines an indulgence as “remission (removal) of temporal punishment for sin in response to certain prayers or spiritual works.” The corrupt buying and selling of indulgences helped launch the Reformation back in the 16th century. Yet the practice continues to this day, having been revived by our state religion, Critical Race Theory. Marta Kauffman is paying $4 million to remit punishment for the sin of creating a sitcom about white people:

Kauffman has pledged $4 million to African and African American studies as she apologised for the lack of diversity on ‘Friends’.

The 65-year-old, who created the sitcom with David Crane, 64, gave the donation to her alma mater, the Boston area’s Brandeis University, to create an endowed professorship.

Her Marta F Kauffman ’78 Professorship in African and African American Studies will support a distinguished scholar with a concentration in the study of the peoples and cultures of Africa.

That is, her indulgence payment will fund racist demagogues along the lines of Ibram X. Kendi of nearby Boston University.

Kauffman said she felt “embarrassed” ‘Friends’ featured a predominantly white cast.

Crawling in self-abasement before the vengeful gods of CRT, Kauffman bleats,

“Admitting and accepting guilt is not easy. It’s painful looking at yourself in the mirror.”

Her fellow moonbats will not forgive her. They never do. Forgiveness has no place in their religion.

It’s a good thing that all media is getting digitized, because otherwise it would be impossible to erase everything American culture has produced up to the current moment, which must be done to protect powerful identity groups from offense. Until recently, humor was permissible. This resulted in infractions against political correctness, including a 2007 episode of The Simpsons, in which Bart becomes a superhero inspired by Batman.

Via WND:

“Bartman” dispatches numerous foes, including “Poison Lenny” — Homer Simpson’s friend Lenny dressed as Batman enemy Poison Ivy, with a long red wig and thigh-high stripper boots.

“No villain is safe from me!” Bartman declares.

Lenny responds, “I’m not a villain. I’m a transvestite!”

“Explain that to your maker!” Bartman says, throwing the transvestite against a high voltage electrical box, where the shock illuminates his skeleton.

Then Lenny gets shot by a cop.

Maybe the thought police will refrain from putting this episode down the memory hole. It is as close as they will find to evidence that the LGBT lobby deserves power for being oppressed:

The liberal entertainment establishment would rather impose its twisted ideology than make money by pleasing audiences. This creates the impression that we live in a sick, dying society comprised of sheer moonbattery. But the contrived woke culture portrayed on screens is not our real culture. One indication of this is that if a movie slips through that doesn’t pander to political correctness, audiences stampede to see it:

As the patriotic anticommunist Walt Disney spins in his grave, Disney keeps doubling down on its depraved radical left stance. Maybe Disney will succeed in its mission to sexualize, homosexualize, and transsexualize American children. Or make it will drive itself out of business.

What might it look like if hated white males took the intelligentsia’s rhetoric seriously and behaved as if they had privilege? After receiving college indoctrination, Beavis and Butt-Head demonstrate:

The scene is from Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, in which “they actually seem to get away with making fun of woke culture,” as The Blaze cheerfully reports.

We haven’t seen much comedy lately that dares to transgress against the rigid ideology of the liberal ruling class. That’s why comedy usually isn’t funny anymore.

If Beavis and Butt-Head can get away with laughing at moonbattery, the thought police are losing their totalitarian grip. That would be the best possible news not only for comedy but for American culture in general.

When it comes to corrupting children on behalf of the LGBT community, Disney may be in the lead, but it has competition. Paramount+ sponsors children dancing on stage for money alongside drag queens:

The event, RuPaul’s DragCon 2022, took place in Los Angeles and welcomed over 60 featured drag queens from across the country. Featured “talent” included drag queens such as “A’Whora,” whose Instagram is ripe with videos of men wearing fake bouncy breasts, “Madame LaQueer,” and “Trinity the Tuck.”

Paramount+ pitches its programming:

Not all the participants were adults:

At least two children are seen on stage with one dancing, “dropping it low,” and collecting money from a crowd of grown adults cheering the child on. The other dances with a drag queen.

If you have children in the house, here is why you should not let Paramount+ into it:

Paramount owns Nickelodeon, which is infamous for subjecting small children to sexualized brainwashing.

Woke corporations will not stop subjecting children to depravity so long as we keep giving them money.

Just how sick are the creepy perverts running Disney? To get an idea, consider that this has evidently been on Disney+ for a year now:

When the guy calling himself Nina West barks about affirming the sexual identity of “LGBTQ+ students in grades K through 12,” he is literally referring to lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, sexually confused, and otherwise sexually deviant children as young as 4 years old.

No such person exists, except in the repugnant fantasies of the sexually “diverse.” But that does not stop predators from attempting to groom.

Even if the depraved rug rat sex fiends they pretend to be protecting are as unreal as the menstruating men they demand we believe in, no mind is too young to subject to real damage.

As noted at Twitchy,

Research shows that the early elementary grades are the best time to reach young minds before them become ingrained with “cisnormative” thinking.

Consider the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Then imagine what we deserve for letting the LGBT agenda fester.
