Who knew 2021 would include the culture cancelling of so many things already? People and products are being cancelled at breakneck speed. Here are a few from 2021 already… (links take you to other posts I’ve written about each one)
Marjorie Taylor Greene – U.S. Representative
Gina Carano – actress
Morgan Wallen – country singer
Chris Harrison – Bachelor series host
Dr. Seuss – author
Speedy Gonzalez – cartoon character
Pepe´ Le Pew – cartoon character
Now I’m wondering how songs like “Walk on the Wild Side” have skirted by without cancellation? Look up the lyrics, Lou Reed calls women of color “colored girls.”
How about Cinderella’s portrayal of stepsisters being really ugly? Or Snow White have little dwarfs work for her? It’s all so offensive! I won’t be updating the list of what or who’s been cancelled because that will keep me too busy every day. Who do you think will be next?
-Out of the Wilderness
I had to Google why Walk on the Wild Side hasn’t been canceled and found your article. I completely agree. I disagree with cancel culture and book burning, but I wouldn’t mind if this song was sucked into a black hole. Not only are the lyrics and topics included distasteful, but the melody is annoying AF. My guess is the hippy SJWs have good memories of doing drugs and sleeping around, so they gave this nostalgic song a pass.

Somehow I missed this comment, but I totally agree! Distasteful, and by today’s sensitive standards, very offensive!
