Six the Musical locks X account following backlash over Dylan Mulvaney casting (Trans hate)

Trans actress and TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been cast in Broadway‘s Six the Musical. The 29-year-old will star as Anne Boleyn, the second wife of King Henry VIII.

However, the announcement sparked a significant backlash, largely from right-wing and gender-critical accounts on X.com, with many people calling the casting decision “woke”, and others saying that the role of Anne Boleyn should have gone to someone assigned female at birth.

Following the backlash, Six the musical’s X (Twitter) account was made private. The account is currently locked to non-followers.

The musical’s Instagram account is still public. However, comments have been turned off on the post announcing Mulvaney’s casting. This is not the case for the rest of the casting announcements.

These "morans" are just discovering that Broadway is "woke"?

... shitstains that call anything WOKE, and intend it as a pejorative, more often than not don't even know what the word means. For the few of them that may haunt this site, and can read at a 3rd-grade level, attend:
[To be] aware of, and actively attentive to, important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

If you have a problem with that, then you are an irredeemably ignorant asshole who shouldn't even be allowed to breed indiscriminately, never mind vote.

Admittedly, the thought of the spirit of Henry VIII seeing Ann Boleyn portrayed by Dylan Mulvaney almost tickles me as much as MAGA and Kid Rock's reaction. LOL
