The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) reclassified the classic 1961 West Side Story film that starred Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, and Richard Beymer over “occasional sexist and transphobic remarks.”
Ooooh, I feel faint! Instead of popcorn, they should sell smelling salts in the theaters. "Characters occasionally smoke cigarettes"? Every eight year old knows what a vape pen is. "Cuts and scrapes"? Every eight year old I know is constantly covered in them. "Implied post coital intimacy"? No eight year old will catch the implication.
This is why the UK has fallen.
Censors that only sanctimoniously censor works that do not celebrate their barely-disguised fetishes and moral inversion.
These censors will not be happy until the only films shown are adaptations of yellow pages.
...and even there they will probably remove the occasional "offensive" name.
People get paid for this? Now I see why Hollywood is failing.

This is another sign the UK is done. We need to just abandon them to their fate, they deserve it. Been downhill since they rejected Churchill
Well I can see a reclassification because all the knife fighting. Hits harder now then it did in 2005, doesn't it? /sarcasm
