Even our escapist entertainment haven has proven to be unsafe from toxic liberal culture.
The latest Broadway-to-big-screen disaster, "Wicked" has made more headlines because its stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo can't seem to shut their mouth about the story's inherent queerness. However, the film is now making headlines because fans obnoxious fans have turned theaters into a circus experience.
The film is based on the 90s modern feminist stage play and book of the same name which retells of the Wizard of Oz. Fans, more interested in capturing TikTok moments than enjoying the actual movie, have started a trend of taking photos during screenings.
We pay good money, most of the time too much money, to watch a film, not to be blinded by phone lights or have your experience ruined by selfie-obsessed attendees.
The theater was once a place where we could escape the real world's chaos, but even that is now being violated. It's disrespectful to the art of filmmaking and the communal experience of watching a movie in silence.
Cinema chains like Alamo Drafthouse, trying to maintain some decorum, have had to step in, but the damage is done.
Not only has feminism and obnoxious woke culture ruined the Wizard of Oz, but it's now eroding the concept of common courtesy.
Maybe if these fans spent less time virtue signaling online and more time appreciating the craft, we'd all have a better movie-going experience. But no, they've turned "Wicked" into something truly wicked for the rest of us.
