GATEWAY PUNDIT — Nickelodeon facing backlash after releasing a video of a creepy drag queen singing about Pride in front of a trans-flag.
The video also prominently features the black power fist.
The clip was posted to TikTok. It is currently unclear if they intend to air it on the network as well.
Of course, with this one, Nickelodeon went too far for many parents, one of whom asked “is this the slippery slope I was told not to worry about?”

“Baby blue, pink, white represent transgender people,” the purple haired drag queen sings. “And black and brown represent the queer and trans people of color.”
The video then cuts to a black power fist.
The children’s network has been openly pushing their Communist agenda for some time, but have amped up the boldness of their programming in recent months. […]
RW,
Thanks for mirroring this over here at WW.
Although you and I knew about this over a week ago, I do think many folks missed it. Also, we may wish to add that the current President of Nickelodeon is one Mr. Brian Robbins.
He was an actor on the 1980s sitcom Head of the Class, which was pushing many of the current ideas so popular today beginning as early as 1985. He then went on to become a director of some rather mainstream projects, which included working with one of his fellow actors from the sitcom. This actor / friend of his also worked with Nickelodeon; however, his contract (or the contract between his company and the network) ended under some very suspicious circumstances.
Let me add a few links so that folks will understand what I am referring to:

There is a large contingent of Nickelodeon watchers and parents who would like Mr. Robbins fired. Although a reasonable idea, I do not think it could possibly fix this network, which needs completely new ownership and a total retooling both in ideas, as well as personnel (just my humble opinion).
Best,
