Ben Shapiro calls out Warner Bros. for its 'Don't Say Gay' policy in China

Variety is reporting that the new Harry Potter prequel film, “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” is getting an edit for Chinese audiences that eliminates the gay relationship between Albus Dumbledore and his rival, Gellert Grindelwald:

“The rest of the film remained intact,” Variety reported:

A statement from Warner Bros. called the edits to appease China a “nuanced cuts in order to respond sensitively to a variety of in-market factors”:

And Warner Bros. says “the spirit of the film remains intact”:

In other words, here they’re admitting they put money ahead of their principles — just like Ben Shapiro said they did:
