Part 7/9:

Critics highlight that the climate of censorship that McKay alludes to is hypocritical when one considers the instances of self-censorship and banning that have originated from more liberal movements in the past few years. The banning of Dr. Seuss books and other children’s literature due to alleged “problematic” content raises questions about who exactly holds the power to dictate what is allowable in popular culture.

A Chaotic Landscape of Opinions

As the debate continues, various social media users and commentators have weighed in on McKay’s claims, with some asserting he is out of touch with the realities of contemporary cinema. The fear among some is that if certain works like Wicked were to face censorship, it could set a dangerous precedent for future artistic endeavors.
