Forrest Gump has been deemed 'troublesome' b/c he got his name from Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, the original Imperial Grand Lizard King or whatever the head of the KKK is called. Variety magazine has a list of 10 movies that need 'Warning Labels' due to the content. It's easily found online.
I think this is a great example for discussion.
You find this problematic, where "this" is...let's see...a single clickbait listicle written by someone at Variety.
That's it, that's the only outrage I found. That article was a top search result for "Forrest Gump" (
screenshot of my results) and the only one that indicated anyone is upset with it for any reason at this moment. This author's argument does not appear to have caught on with anyone in the world at large. There is no Woke Mob screaming for Forrest Gump to get CANCELLED, contrary to your argument above.
This reminds me of not long ago when revots wept about Paw Patrol getting CANCELLED, calling it evidence of
something out of George Orwell. It seemed unimportant to his argument that, by all accounts, the event he decried
doesn't appear to have actually happened.
It would of course be fun and entertaining and lols would be had by all for me to single out the most extreme and idiotic takes written by whatever group of people you agree with, and pretend that they're representative of your whole group. But that wouldn't make it true.
Either you're getting totally hoodwinked by the media you read into thinking "Oh my god, Woke Mob Cancel Culture Is Taking Over The World" based on total bullshit, or you're doing it intentionally. Whichever it is, neither reflects very well on you.
