FULL TITLE: It's political correctness gone Psycho! Remake won't show the killer cross-dressing in a shower scene in order to avoid 'transphobia'
It is the chilling moment from the classic film Psycho that once seen can never be forgotten.
Deranged motel proprietor Norman Bates, dressed up in his mother’s clothes, launches a murderous knife attack on a defenceless guest in the shower.
But now the scene from the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller starring Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh has been remade, but with a crucial difference.
Bates is no longer wearing women’s clothes – for fear of damaging the image of the transgender community.
This is despite the fact he wears his mother’s dresses at other moments in the series.
It is the climatic episode in the fifth and final season of US television series Bates Motel starring British actor Freddie Highmore as Norman Bates and singing superstar Rihanna as his intended victim, Marion Crane.
I am a armature writer and it is truly sad how scared the writing community is right now of political correctness....
QUICK someone get a steamroller and flatten out Alfred Hitchcock’s grave!!
So what’s the terror angle now? Scare the victim with microaggressions and deny them a safe space?
But I thought cross dressing was like, totally in vogue right now. I’m sure they’d have a long line of cross dressers willing to try out for the role!

Exactly Trillian, Norman Bates was decades before his time. What’s the big deal? So he stabbed a few women who came to his motel? Nobody’s perfect.
Bully
They are not scared
They are propagandists through and through
You ever wonder what percentage of newsrooms and Hollywood and academia are queer?
Just look
“You ever wonder what percentage of newsrooms and Hollywood and academia are queer?”
They all are.
And Gus is a fag
Haha.. I’d rather watch the Married with Children episode when the Bundys go to Dumpwater, FL and encounter the murderer at Poppy’s by the Tree.
Ouch, don’t know which family was worse. Norman and his Mother or the Bundys. Both are rank.
It feels that way
I’ve been in a few newsrooms
Tennessean
Miami Herald
Dallas Morning News
They are overwhelmingly minority and fembot and queer
The publishing side is the white side....often Jewish but white nonetheless
He probably would have gotten great Yelp reviews from the people he didn’t kill.
Much like I expect that The Silence of the Lambs would never see the light of day in today’s PC culture.
It’s really strange. Political Correctness amounts to nothing more than total denial of obvious realities for the specific and sole purpose of advancing a leftist political agenda.
The new Norman Bates is white and [I have no idea what ‘superstar Rhianna’ looks like and I’m not going to do her the credit of searching for her name on the internet] I’m guessing his victim is black?
Shoot me if I’m wrong.
The problem with the article is while he wasn’t cross-dressing in that scene. He has dressed like a woman a few times during the course of the show.
This is crazy!
You’d never see a lot of classics from the 70s and 80s. Animal House comes to mind.
Not sure why the link to this did not came up
