Just 2 weeks and 2020 gets a big win, no dumb articles about "baby it's cold outside" being about rape

Every year since at least 2012 we've had at least 1 major piece about the evils of "baby it's cold outside", this year, nothing so far.

In 2012 we had chunk of stupid from Salon.com calling it a date rape anthem,
in 2013 "the view" went off on it
In 2014 we had the Washingtonpost get in on the game
in 2015 slate was on the case
in 2016 vanity fair took the reigns
in 2017 USA today had us covered
in 2018 NPR was wasting government resources on the topic
in 2019 we were subjected to the modernized one and everybody was getting in on the action, time, forbes, npr, ny times
in 2020... nothing, ny times has an article called Baby it's cold outside that's just about the weather and out door decorating
I can't find any major articles on the trash song being about rape for some idiotic reason.

so if nothing else in 2020 we were spared dumb articles about a crap song
also I really really hate "baby it's cold outside" because I thought it was annoying and went on forever.

In a weird way your post reminded me of it and all the stupid articles of before, so in a way your post is just as bad as a 2020 article, if not worse because it aggregates all the past stuff Into one spot. So thanks OP for screwing us out of being allowed to forget about this in 2020. You couldn’t have just let us peacefully forget about it.

You guys will believe anything if it fits the narrative in your head.
believe what? This shit has gone on for ages now. Like how you should say happy holidays and not merry Christmas to be more inclusive. How many examples do you need before something becomes a fact?

Now that you mention it those original lyrics do seem a little suspect. I'll be sticking to my sanitised Michael Bubble version that you very much.
 
In the UK, they censored that christmas song that says slut and faggot. Christmas in new york is it? or summat? It's a crap song anyway, may as well have censored all of it

Does this not count as an article ?

I think it does. Has the exact same effect for me.

Op played himself
pretty sure I'm not a major news outlet.

I just figured stations stopped playing it, the progressives got their win, and they moved on to their next target.
