See, this is likely a problem in respect of the written word sometimes not being able to express tone (or you and your #1-fan friend are just being deliberately obtuse, but I'll give you both the benefit of the doubt). I wasn't freaking out. I'm commenting on something, just as you are. I just have a different opinion than you do.

What about Cinderella?

Wasn't she stereotyped as having to clean all of the time; and then being rescued by a man?

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Do you just normally attribute thoughts and actions to people without evidence?

Where did I deny some of the "racism" in the 40s?

Yeah, the 7 AM games got bumped back to 8:30, so I’ve got some time to watch adult men complain about cartoons.

I mean you're getting mad over a warning placed in front of a movie and the removal of character profiles

Worth noting that they only took it from the kids profiles, but it's still available on the platform.


One would think that is worth noting, yes.

Just like the title of this thread?
Leaving out the most important part but including everything else.

I would think that Disney (and overly sensitive people who are offended by them) are the ones complaining about the cartoons, no?

Again, I'm not "mad" though.

But even if I were, that is not an example of denying anything.

Well, unlike the MSM and entertainment industry, I am given very limited space in the subject line to deliver a message, but then again, it’s a fricking subject line. The content is within. If there’s a point of contention within the thread you’d like to take issue with, then the thread itself is where you are free to have at it.

And people were ridiculing me telling you to go buy these movies because they soon won't be available at all. Shocked Lady and the Tramp wasn't also cancelled.

How is this much different than adding a PG-13 rating when there was once only PG and R?

I’m sure the 0-6 year olds of today are pissed they can’t watch a 70-year-old cartoon without their parent’s consent



You think they're going to give adults that option this time next year?

Could be. The Overton Window shift has been accelerating quite a bit recently.

This isn't being a drama queen, this is censorship. I can't believe last week some Leftists were saying "Hey you still have 30 Dr Seuss books that aren't cancelled... yet, and the Cat in the Hat is probably up next." Just imagine saying "Sure we burnt every copy of Hamlet, Macbeth, and Julius Caesar, but you still have 30 other Shakespearean plays you can read, so no biggie... and by the way King Lear may be next."

The Walt Disney Company pulled “Dumbo,” “Peter Pan,” “The Aristocats” and “Swiss Family Robinson” from its offerings for children under 7.


So they didn’t really pull it. They just added a new lawyer screen to click through.

And soon you'll be saying "freaking out about banning movies with racist characters is pretty overdramatic."
