Like locusts, the Left swarms its way through beloved cultural intellectual properties (IPs), destroying everything it touches in the name of 'reimagining' entertainment for 'modern audiences.'
It's laughable and has ruined Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, and other IPs.
Now they're coming for Jane Austen.
“The BBC’s new Jane Austen drama will not feature “fetishised” posh accents, its makers have said.”

ie. Everything traditional sucks and we are gonna do this again, even though everyone else that does this flops. pic.twitter.com/1yzazeRAOK
The accents and the clothing are integral to Jane Austen, who lived in and wrote about a very specific time in British history.
There's a reason Austen, like Shakespeare, still resonates with audiences today: we like what she wrote and the world she showed us.
As she wrote it.
As filmmakers and television have portrayed it for decades.
But why are they all white?

Someone slip up?
Heh.
That’s a photo of an older film which was more authentic lol

That's the 2005 adaptation of 'Pride and Prejudice' directed by Joe Wright and starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.
Perhaps, instead of asking if the BBC "doesn't get it" maybe we should finally understand, that the BBC does get it and expect everyone to comply with their message. Isn't it about time to stop watching the BBC altogether and put a genuine end to this nonsense?

THIS.
Jane Austen’s world is the posh - what are they going to do strive for inauthenticity- yes we are going to do Jane Austen but don’t worry we won’t do it well

It will not do well.
Wokeness destroyed 'Doctor Who' and the BBC will do the same for Austen.
I'll be sure not to see this.

The Bridgertonisation is ruining period dramas for me. I’m here for the bonnets and the A line dresses, not the acrylic nails and false eyelashes https://t.co/kS6uMy5JQB

Thank you!
So a butchered bastardized Jane Austen copy cat. Ugh! Leave Jane Austen alone, you monsters! https://t.co/9pJsh1kLZa

Yes. Leave Austen alone.
If you don't want bonnets or 'posh' accents, write your own story.
I won’t be watching it and I think many others will also reject it. Why do those who work for the @BBC hate everything British? https://t.co/jTkXJc9hvO

They're woke Leftists. That's why they hate everything British.
