I am a Christian woman or originated the role of Glinda and all the silliness that these women spew out of hate.

I get her overall point, but it's 3am and my brain turned itself inside out trying to follow this sentence.

Obviously everything the "million" moms said was exponentially stupider

I think the or is a typo and should be and.

The movie is called Wicked. It comes with a baked in warning for these assholes.

Imagine how they'd react to the Tiger scene if they read the book.

The tiger scene (and then the aftermath for the character) is the #1 reason I don’t recommend the book to people.

[sassalicious]

i literally don't remember this scene from the book.

but i only read it once a long time ago.

Trigger Warning for a brief description of SA involving an animal. [Spoiler (click to open)]When the group goes to the Philosophy Club, Tibbett is chosen for a sex show. Though the act is left unfinished, it is implied a Tiger sodomizes him.

Didn't they try this "witchcraft is evil" angle with the Harry Potter books/movies about 20 years ago too?

and now a bunch of them are pro-potter because of joanne's bigotry

They literally sing about the power of friendship in the second act. It is quite literally an "uplifting Broadway musical about friendship".

easy subtext for a general audience is hard :(

[ever_reaching]

Is it still subtext when it's in the literal text?

(for them it is)
