(WPDE) — Disney+ has removed several movies from children's profiles on its service due to negative stereotypes.
ADVERTISEMENT The Walt Disney Company previously showed content warnings on the films for “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people and cultures” in October but has now removed access to the films for children under 7.
Adults can still view the movies on their Disney+ accounts with the content warnings.
Some of what Disney has said about each of the movies at the "Stories Matter" section include:
“Dumbo” (1941): “The crows and musical number pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations. The leader of the group in Dumbo is Jim Crow, which shares the name of laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.” “Peter Pan” (1953): “The film portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions. It shows them speaking in an unintelligible language and repeatedly refers to them as ‘redskins,’ an offensive term. Peter and the Lost Boys engage in dancing, wearing headdresses and other exaggerated tropes.” “Swiss Family Robinson” (1960): “The pirates who antagonize the Robinson family are portrayed as a stereotypical foreign menace. Many appear in ‘yellow face’ or ‘brown face’ and are costumed in an exaggerated and inaccurate manner with top knot hairstyles, queues, robes and overdone facial make-up and jewelry, reinforcing their barbarism and ‘otherness.’” “The Aristocats” (1970): “The (Siamese) cat (Shun Gon) is depicted as a racist caricature of East Asian peoples with exaggerated stereotypical traits such as slanted eyes and buck teeth. He sings in poorly accented English voiced by a white actor and plays the piano with chopsticks.” The content warning displays on the films says:
“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together. Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
This Counter Culture has gone WAY too far.
How!
Meanwhile, Cardi B hits us over the head with her WAP!
The Left is offended by everything except for the persecution, condemnation and harassment of conservatives. That’s not only OK with them, they encourage it.
Blazing Saddles must make their heads explode...................
Is “F Troop” going to be cancelled?
“Where Indian fights are colorful sights and nobody takes a licken’. Where Paleface and Redskins both turn chicken!
Growing up I took it that Indians called whites Paleface and whites call Indians Redskins. Why wasn’t it offensive then?
I hate to say this, as progressive Europe can be, I don’t think they are doing this, we are becoming a parody.
Last time I saw it on TV, the theme song had been replaced with an instrumental version...............NO LYRICS!.............
I didn’t see Song of the South?? or has Zippity doo dah been banned already??
There. Fixed it.
“This Counter Culture has gone WAY too far.”
No, no it hasn’t. It makes the average Biden voter feel so virtuous. If it had gone to far, Disney+ would lose a lot of subscribers. So far, they haven’t.
It’s only going to get worse.
What’s “Disney+”?
Deep State answer or version of Q+?
I seriously considering moving to Europe
It’s their streaming service.....................
It’s been ‘Un-movied’.....................
The basic job of race hustlers is to make people easier of offend, otherwise as society became less racist people who should logically happier and more content would no longer need race hustlers and they’d be out of a job.
To be blunt: just as people who’ve got time to feel oppressed by statues and place names are not oppressed at all so to are folks who’ve got time to eagerly be offended by anything have nothing of consequence in 5heir lives to be offended by.
Some people thrive on being offended.
There name is Karen........................
And when people discover that the incredible amount of damage that has been done to American society affects them directly -- their lives, their childrens' lives, their quality of life -- I expect there will be a reckoning, including even by the Left, which the politicians, "experts", business owners, "educators" and the like who have deliberately caused all of this damage, damn-well fear far more than they do anything the Right will do.
Well the crows are pretty cringe-worthy in Dumbo. Just cut that scene.
