This is ineffably insulting.

@JackxJewell “Slam Frank”…was inspired by a viral thread on Twitter asking the incendiary question “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?” The writers were attempting to “decolonise Frank’s diary”. Beyond belief.

@DreyfusJames I can’t even comprehend this.

@JackxJewell So MLK is fair game then?

@k_pies RACIST

@JackxJewell This is literally satire. And it’s satirizing the exact annoying strain of liberals I’m sure you hate but you appear too dense to realize it

@JackxJewell Is this a joke? Babylon Bee? The Onion? It cant be real.

@JackxJewell Does it show her writing with a ballpoint pen?

@JackxJewell That is the intention. Throw away all the history and whatever wealth of wisdom one might hope to put to use & pass on to the next generation. Reject it and invent something. Invert. Replace. Stop remembering.

@JackxJewell As a liberal leaning human, that's awful. She was 13 and shared what little life she had with the world. No one has a right to take advantage of the fact that her adulthood was stolen by rewriting her. How did this get funding?

@JackxJewell This play makes "Springtime for Hitler" look like accurate history.

@JackxJewell These writers aren’t being clever or pushing boundaries, they are rewriting history. This isn’t a character from a book, beyond disrespectful to the dead, and to her father who released the diary as a tribute. It’s like defacing a tombstone.

@JackxJewell As a Gay Jew I can not tell you just how offensive this is. This “queer” nonsense ideology is not only offensive but actually damaging and threatening my and most others LGBT rights.

@JackxJewell Insane... this is the kind of thing people were joking about months ago when talking about Intifada and now they've gone and done it. New York's self-hating ultra-progressive Jews are apparently beyond help if this doesn't deeply insult them. Don't think you need to be "Zionist"

@JackxJewell That’s fun. Now do one about Muhammad. Be real edgy for once.

@JackxJewell Offhand reminds me of when they made an Opera "The Death of Klinghoffer"

@JackxJewell As a Jewish American I am shocked and extremely offended by their making light of the Holocaust, and their disrespectful portrayal of Anne Frank. There is bad taste, and there is being deliberately insulting, which this is. What a freakishly racist production.

@JackxJewell It seems the "reimagining" is to remove the holocaust horror as a function of her identity. Appalling.

@JackxJewell I thought she was in the attic not the closet……I’ll show myself out 😂

@JackxJewell The market should not exist for this. How does this even get funding? Who pays to see things like this? But absent the market driving it from the stage, they should get sued into oblivion. Where is the Frank Museum? Who owns the rights to her story currently? @BillAckman maybe

@JackxJewell As a person who has Latina, LGBTQ, Jewish, and Neurodivergent people in my family, I can report that we are ALL offended by this. Wow.

@JackxJewell A generation ago, this would have been a crucifix in urine or something. That no longer shocks people so now it's not taking the Holocaust seriously.

@JackxJewell Isn’t reimagining usually for fictional characters? This is like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

@JackxJewell Based, put Anne Frank in a polycule where no one knows if they’re the father of her kids.

@JackxJewell So these same did the Jesus play with that black woman, and now this...I hope you were all upset at the Jesus one too...both are horrible. I demand they do one about Muhammad now using LGBT characters...DO IT

@JackxJewell Way to insult several cultures at once, many of us Latinos are getting tired of DEI policies that add our people just to tick a box. Specially when they give us mental illness, we are already messed up from the chanclazos, don't need any more trauma.

@JackxJewell Nothing says “progress” like using the dead to advertise your ideology.

@JackxJewell I wonder what the remake of Othello is going to look like. You know it’s coming 🙄

@JackxJewell No progressive dehumanizing smear is too low if it is leveled at a Jew, better yet a murdered Jew.

@JackxJewell This looks like a work of art if done with self-awareness or a tragedy to be thoroughly made fun of if a tone of ideological seriousness bleeds through.

@JackxJewell NYT recently wrote a big piece about how new broadway musicals are failing and this explains a lot

@JackxJewell אני מתחננת, אם יש קרובים חיים לאנה… תתבעו להם את האימ אימ אימא. תגרמו להם להתחנן שהם עברו שמינית ממה שהיא עברה

@JackxJewell Read the article and it seems to be satire, a bit like "Springtime for Hitler" in The Producers. But I get that the way things are going, it's become hard to tell. https://archive.ph/LxD0C

@JackxJewell Hahaha if you can’t beat them, bastardize them. Just be really really bad a playing a Jew

@JackxJewell It’s what the prominent 4x2s of her era would’ve wanted.

@JackxJewell Let’s do Harriet Tubman as a sassy drag queen

@JackxJewell Now do Harvey Milk as a gun tooting bible carrying ladies man
