According to loudwire.com, Queen’s song “Fat Bottomed Girls” has been removed from a new kids version of the band’s Greatest Hits collection that is available on the children’s music player Yoto. “Fat Bottomed Girls” has recently caused an outcry regarding the censorship from some of the comments found on social media.
“Fat Bottomed Girls has not been cut from Queen‘s Greatest Hits either to “appease” nor due to “woke cancel culture”. It’s simply been left off the version on a new kid friendly streaming service for 6-14 year olds. But why let the truth get in the way of another wokeness story.”
“Signs of an industry eating itself,” one commenter said. “If you still listen to big labels/manufactured stars, you’re poisoning your mind.”
But another online offered that it had “not been cut from Queen’s Greatest Hits either to ‘appease’ nor to ‘woke cancel culture.’ It’s simply been left off the version on a new kid friendly streaming service for 6-14 year olds. But why let the truth get in the way of another wokeness story.”
“Now I’m confused, I would have thought Fat Bottomed Girls would have been a song of body positivity. And they do make ‘the rocking world go round’ at least in terms of angular momentum.”
“It is woke gone mad,” said a music industry insider. “Why not appreciate people of all shapes and sizes like society is saying we should, rather than get rid of it. It’s outrageous.”
