Music-centric animal animated movie Sing is killing it with kids at the box office, grossing $76 million in five days.

But sensitive social justice warriors who have gone to see the movie aren’t exactly ‘singing’ its praises on social media. Instead they’re calling the kids film tribal, principally for the fact that one plotline in the movie features a gorilla named Johnny who wants to sing but whose father runs a criminal gang.

In the movie, which stars the voices of Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Scarlett Johansson, Johnny, voiced by Taron Egerton, (SPOILER ALERT) is desperate to embrace his musical side instead of being part of the gorilla gang of robbers run by his father Big Daddy (voiced by Peter Serafinowicz).

When Johnny shirks his duties as a getaway driver for Big Daddy’s gang during a gold robbery, his father ends up in jail. Even though Big Daddy ultimately ends up appreciating his son’s musical career, that’s not good enough for people out there who seem intent on equating gorillas being on the wrong side of the law in Sing with racism

I think that the people that are getting upset over gorillas and criminals in an animated movie and then comparing them to races in real life are the people being tribal.

Ya know, its really clear how much of an starfish you are, when you walk into a movie theatre going "how can I be offended today?"

It's implying black people (who look like gorillas) are all criminals. Disgustingly tribal.

sjw's at it again with their oversensitivity and inability to realize that whatever is offending them may not actually be a problem.

Seems like they're the tribal ones if they're associating a race with an animal

There is only one race: the human race.

The only racism is coming from the SJW's assuming Gorillas to be black
