Saying she’s been using dog whistles for years isn’t slander. It’s factual based on her lyrics.

That isn’t slander. It’s literally what she said on her album lol

#CallToAction for civil servants who work in our legal system. We sit here day after day watching our government shit all over our Constitution & gaslight half the country into calling it heroism. Why are we cowering? Law can be used against them to. Use #StatePower & #ArrestFederalAgents. Protect 🇺🇲

Weird timing to put this out when DHS and this administration has used her music multiple times to exactly ZERO public statement from her…she’s sued fans of hers for less 😒

It’s crazy that you think anyone outside MAGA is “the uninformed masses.” Did that logic work for you when Biden was president? Was he “the boss voted in by American citizens” or did you have a hissy fit and defend your cult leader?

Same! I just played the fourth movement for my boyfriend the other day cause that was my favorite in chamber orchestra 🥰 so bombastic and powerful!

Idk that that’s true. I’m a Children’s librarian. There are kids who *COULD* read it and understand. But the content is not appropriate for most of them.

You’re allegedly mad about people’s politics, but if you leave it at movie one, then it ends with the witch flying off to combat fascism and…nothing changes cause that’s the end. The second movie is SHOWING her doing the work. It’s not “bad”. It’s not as poppy as the first one. That’s it.

The latest one, which is act 2 of a 2 act play? 🧐 which everyone knew going into it? Meaning you need to have seen BOTH to get the full story. Also, doesn’t address the “people’s politics” comment you made. The second one is even more explicit that it’s antifascist.

What “really” happened in a fictional book? 💀

This isn’t based on Baum’s books. It’s based on Maguire’s retelling from the witch’s POV.
November 24, 2025 at 1:05 AM
The reviews that say it’s “bad” are mad because it’s darker than the first movie and because they expect an in-movie plot refresher for the first one. No other movie does that. They assume you saw the first one and move on. I’ve seen it. If you like the musical, you’ll be fine.

You know Wicked is also antifascist, right? Like…explicitly the point is that the Wizard is fascist in this story?

Carefully? Lots of people have long nails and/or nose rings

The books are a completely different thing for a completely different audience that aims to do a completely different thing. I’m tired of seeing this take. And the books are not “perfect for kids”. I should know as a kid who read it as 12 💀

You’re comparing a country of 330 mil people spread out over a large area to a country of 6.5 mil the size of South Carolina. Hope this helps.

It’s not “unwilling” so much as “unable” for many people. Out healthcare is tied to our jobs. Most adults are one missed paycheck or health crisis away from homelessness. People are doing what they can do.

All this to say, yeah, I think you have a superiority complex about the weird Oz politics book and think it makes you interesting to rail against something because it’s “popular”. Just makes you sound contrary for the sake of being contrary.

Additionally, that “polished art” that “everyone can enjoy” is how we got Wicked in the first place 🙄 the original Oz books are a long series with meandering plots that didn’t get included in the movie. But people saw the movie and then created other things.

PLENTY of money has been put into his again, multi-book, very thick series about Oz politics. So much so that he’s cashing in on the movie’s success by writing more of that story.

Also “I wish more money was put into the original art”….a bestselling, FOUR BOOK series that spawned a bestselling musical that spawned a bestselling movie. Pretty sure Gregory Maguire isn’t complaining.

He wrote a new prequel about Elphaba’s childhood AND released a graphic novel of the book.
