do you see the problem there? one rule for one...etc
I'd guess Fairy tale has been banned for containing an actual slur, although why they couldn't just mute it for a second is beyond my comprehension - but I don't know the full details.

So unless this song contains slurs then why would they ban it? No one bans movies for glorifying gangs and crime etc.

You can't have woke culture as just a way to criticise things you disagree with.

Movies have ratings for a reason.

Unless this song is only played after 9pm, is that what you are saying?

Turn on the radio and you'll hear songs about all kinds of things that we wouldn't be allowed to see in films during the day time, and all before 9pm.

And I didn't say you don't have a right to think, I was just suggesting that maybe you use that ability to work out the inconsistencies.
