It’s official: nothing, but nothing, is safe from the “diversity and inclusion” crowd.
Once upon a time, it was your Obergruppenfuhrer types who dedicated all their time to meticulously analysing racial quotas. Now, it’s the Cancelkulturfuhrers of the Twitterreich casting their gimlet eyes over everything, even children’s entertainment.
The goal now is not to cleanse the volk of “Jewishness”, but of “whiteness”.
Enter, the Wiggles.
For the past few decades, the Wiggles have entertained generations of Australian children with silly, catchy songs about Big Red Cars and Fruit Salad. But in recent years they’ve been in grave danger of finding themselves on the dreaded “wrong side of history”.
Their crime? Being too white. And male.
Of course, the original Wiggles lineup included Jeff “Wake Up, Jeff!” Fatt. But Jeff was never a Wiggle because of his Chinese ancestry. Jeff was a core member of, first the Cockroaches, then the Wiggles, because he was a damn good musician, songwriter and entertainer. Nobody cared what he looked like. He was never the “Chink Wiggle”, he was always just the Purple Wiggle, everybody loved him, and that was that.
But Diversity & Inclusion has no truck with such petty stuff as talent. It’s all about gender, sexual orientation and skin colour.
At some point they added a woman; no one knows her name, and she probably caused all sorts of drama and mayhem back stage but she was kind of pretty and comes across alright in this important, even seminal, piece, “Pappadum, Pappadum, Pappa Pappa Pappa Dum”.
Nice try, Wiggles. That one saw them lambasted by the Wokerati as “racist”.
[That] may have been the beginning of the end for our beloved Wiggles as they have now gone full blown retard-woke and added four extra members, all diverse.
Have fun guessing which of these Wokles is “Aboriginal”. If you pinged the darkie, you’re dead wrong. Like most modern “First Nation’s Australians”, the token Aborigine is as white as the driven snow. Still, no doubt she’s a “Proud™ [Insert Tribe] Woman”.
The Wiggles are seeking to inspire a diverse audience with its gender-balanced and diverse cast and make sure children around the world see themselves reflected on the screen.
They have also added three new characters, which are a dancing police officer named Officer Beaples, Shirley Shawn the non-binary Unicorn, and Bok the hand puppet.
But if the Wokles think that’s enough to get them off the hook, they’ve surely got another thing coming. Where’s the Trans Wiggle? The Child Drag Queen Wiggle? The NOMAP Wiggle?
Yet another of these non-controversies where you get a handful of people on Twitter whinging about something and then some journowhore decides to lazily write something about it for clicks and ad revenue. Some of those reactions:
Unfortunately these stupid controversies do have real world consequences in that they intimidate and inhibit others from doing whatever fun things they want to do, and make our world more boring and constricted in turn.

As Johnny Rotten once said, “You remember fun, don’t you?”
Well, you won’t, if the Fun Police have their way.
