In the next remodel, pirates will probably be rebranded as men that fought for women's rights.

There were several women pirates tho:

You probably didn't even know this was a thing until this thread. Folks getting so bent out of shape over shite like this are almost as annoying as the SJW movement.

Gotcha. I've been on POTC ride probably 7-8 times and never noticed anything I thought could be potentially offensive to anyone.

PC people just looking for reasons to be offended. Next they'll be complaining about Donald and Daisy Duck's relationship because Donald's anger management issues may be upsetting to some women.

Pirates were really bad people...



They could just add this song:

Oooohhhhhh

We honor rape
And we honor death
But we're gonna fight
To our last breathe
To keep the white girl
Mary-Beth

From being auctioned
At Disney world

Oooohhhhhh

Yes we kill
And we plunder
And we rape
And we steal
But we won't let
Your feelings feel
A momentof sadness
For this poor veal

From being auctioned
At Disney World.

We kill little kids
And we rape their moms
We kill their dads
With gruesome bombs
Through all of this
Yes we keep calm
But saying "we wants
That red head Pom
Is just too much to show on

That little auction
At Disney Wooooorrrlldd

Yo-ho me ladies. Yo-ho.

She is?

I am sure she will be a strong empowered role model!

And they will make her homely like the girl in brave

yeah, just like it was clear to target.

Slackster, outside of your facebook bubble... is the real world. SJW are a very small percentage of the real world. Typically jobless and under 30. Not a huge demographic.

But, thanks to social media, now those with the smallest brains can make the most noise.

Wish they would troll the SJW's and put a singing Uncle Remus in the Zip A Dee Do Da scene on the ride.

Huh? I'm no SJW.

However, I do understand the majority of customers are apathetic. Companies make PC decisions all the time because they believe/know there are more pro-PC people who will change their spending habits than there are anti-PC folks. This isn't really a shocking take, and it is why people who are actually upset about things like this should make a stand with their wallet.

This is one of the reasons why a Disney film will never feature a LGBT lead character - they know which buttons they can push to appease the PC crowd without upsetting the applecart.

No doubt the bidding was high. The group to follow was rough.

Went to Disneyland after Christmas. Happened to spot the live actress Brave character walking around in Magic Kingdom. She was not homely. She was a true ginger goddess, in all the best ways. Sorry, no pics. Just a gorgeous image forever etched into my mind.

Are they moving her because she is a redhead or does it just so happen,that the one they decided to move.. Is a redhead? In other words, is there some political correctness shite going on with the redhead being there?
