As long as media companies are bowing to "social media users," it is relevant. See: Gina Carano.


The tweets the article quotes are general criticisms of Grease, not people saying it should be canceled. It then quotes other tweets assuming, for little to no reason, that Grease will be canceled based off a few people saying the movie hasn't aged well. The only people generating outrage are the people reacting to a few critical tweets (and MSN, by publishing an article with a misleading headline they knew would be eaten up by idiots). Grease isn't currently being produced, and the level of outrage didn't come from anyone involved with making of this 40 year old movie doing something stupid.

This situation isn't the same, and you could probably use the same lesson Carano could have internalized: noticing a surface similarity doesn't make two situations equivalent.
