I guess you could remake them either way, just simply not a like-for-like remake.
What I don't like about it is the wokists would prefer to pretend these things never existed. They try to erase them from existence. Something is wrong with your movement and personality when it would be easier to have a conversation with a Nazi than it would with a wokist.

Mind you, most remakes never work anyway.
Imagine remaking Fawlty Towers or Friends?
Or even Till Death Do Us Part with Alf Garnett?

You are accurately describing Cancel Culture, Semigoodlooking , although people are diluting the definition to simply mean ignoring something/someone, rather than wiping out all memory.
The terms ‘cancel culture’ and ‘wokeness’ have been overused to the point of exhaustion. Let’s hope they run their course soon.
I think in terms of general life it is a case of those who shout loudest. They do not represent a majority of people, but are making the most noise.
However, where cancel culture and wokeness are cause for concern is in universities and education in general. The idea of shutting down free thinking in a university seems incredible to me, but that is what's happening.
