The woke outrage mob is trying to force the rest of society to conform to their ideology.
Now the movie industry is being targeted for some big changes.
And classic mob movie Goodfellas has fallen victim to the woke outrage mob with this bad decision.
Goodfellas gets slapped with a trigger warning
The 1990 classic Goodfellas is generally considered one of the best mob movies ever made.
Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese and a heavyweight cast that included Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci brought to life the world of the New York mafia from the 1950s to the 1980s.
It’s based on Crime Reporter Nicholas Pileggi’s nonfiction book Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family, which chronicles the story of real-life mobster Henry Hill, who later became an FBI informant.
Now, AMC Networks is slapping a trigger warning on Goodfellas before the film hits its streaming service because it may “offend some viewers.”
“This film includes language and/or cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with today’s standards of inclusion and tolerance and may offend some viewers,” AMC warns viewers.

AMC Networks believes that viewers of Goodfellas might be offended because the film – which is based on a true story – might depict allegedly offensive stereotypes of Italian Americans.
Anyone watching the legendary mob movie knows what they’re in for when they flip it on.
Trigger warnings grew out of woke indoctrination on college campuses, as brain-washed students demanded that their delicate feelings be protected from anything they deem “offensive.”
Now, they’re spreading out into the wider culture as those who’ve been programmed into dutiful members of the woke outrage mob have worked their way into powerful positions throughout corporate America and government.
AMC responds to questions over Goodfellas trigger warning
The New York Post reached out to AMC Networks to figure out why Goodfellas was slapped with a trigger warning.
“In 2020, we began adding advisories in front of certain films that include racial or cultural references that some viewers might find offensive,” an AMC spokesman told The Post.
Obviously, 2020 was the same year in which the woke outrage mob came truly unhinged, as they rioted nationwide in response to the death of George Floyd, causing corporations to become deathly afraid of offending anyone.
But curiously, AMC Networks has hit other mob movies on its platform with such a trigger warning.
The 1972 mob classic The Godfather avoided a warning despite covering the same subject matter as Goodfellas.
As a matter of fact, Scorsese has specifically said that his work on Goodfellas was directly influenced by The Godfather, as the latter focused on the upper levels of the mafia’s hierarchy, while the former focused on lower-level “soldiers.”
As is the case with any rated-R movie on any platform, AMC preempted The Godfather with the typical “viewer discretion advised” warning for “brief nudity, strong language, and intense violence.”
Retired New York City Police Department Officer Bo Dietl, who was cast to play the role of one of the NYPD officers in Goodfellas, was outraged at AMC’s trigger warning.
“The f**king political correctness has f**king taken everything away,” Dietl told The Post. “This is how life was back then. It was not a clean, beautiful thing. You can’t cleanse history. If you want to tell true history, you gotta tell it the way it is.”
Even former Colombo crime family Caporegime Michael Franzese was stunned at the decision.
“We don’t need anyone protecting mob guys,” Franzese said. “It’s crazy.”
The United States Library of Congress declared Goodfellas “culturally significant” in 2000 and added it to the National Film Registry.
Now, it has become a victim of a hit by the woke outrage mob’s war on culture.
