There are multiple layers of irony at work here. One is that Freddie Mercury, a flamingly gay man, performed this heterosexual anthem with gusto and sincerity; in 1978 art still trumped "identity." Another is that a Queen song, a joint effort by a gay man and some straight men, has been cancelled in 2023 for being too... something.

Fat-bottomed girls need love too. The song has a very simple message. I don't know why it's OK why Lizzo conveys it but it's not OK when Freddie Mercury conveys it. Cultural life in 2023 is a puzzlement.

Freddie would never be tolerated now. They would consider him "too white."

Doesn't matter, he had fair skin and that alone makes him fair game for the woke communists.

You'd think they'd like Fat Bottomed Girls, because the song says that "they make the rockin' world go 'round".

This is like cancelling "Brain Damage" by Pink Floyd because it's not sensitive to the "neurodiverse community."

Ironically, I can totally see a modern band like Ghost B.C. doing a cover of this song and everyone being totally fine with it.

Without any good reason, I've recently grown a distrust for Piratebay, afraid that some malware could be hidden inside files I download from it....especially when the file has had few downloaders before me, I don't see how I could check for a threat before it settles on my hard disk....

Always a risk, I guess. Use Linux or maybe macOS. Avoid Windows as most of the malware seems designed for it.
