The warning about “evils” is in a frenzy with people like a whirlwind… many condemn the warning about discrimination against people with green skin.
Here’s the deal… British Board of Film Classification reviews films by a number of criteria; telling parents if there is nudity, violence, injury and discrimination, among other categories.
In the “Evil” section it is written: “A woman with green skin is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin color. A disabled woman is treated with pity by able-bodied people. A fantastic society.”
As you can imagine… people online I’m not happy about it because many people use the hashtag “GoWokeGoBroke” and oppose the analysis that warns people about non-existent skin color and discrimination against talking animals.

Piers Morgan among the victims. she took to Instagram, asking the “woke brigade” to “get off this bullshit.”
It’s worth noting… no trigger warning precedes the film in America. It’s unclear if this is the case in the UK, though this looks more like an ancillary resource for people to use rather than something the studio actually put in.
And Wicked has always had themes of racism… yes, Elphaba has green skin, but it’s a metaphor, so it makes sense for the BBFC to point it out to parents and children who might be more sensitive. to the material.
But it seems not everyone agrees with the warning… and they’re ready to send their flying monkeys behind the board.
