People are very crazy about the Disney Plus 5-month Peter Pan update

Having successfully distracted themselves from the gloomy futility of life for a few precious moments in buy every Dr. Seuss book at your fingertips– and thus sticking it to those bastards of Dr Seuss’ estate, who decided not to continue publishing some of the author’s beloved books that trafficked under racist tropes – the Conservative Outrage Machine has now apparently set on his next worthy target for his crusade on things that sound like “cancel culture” if you don’t really know what those words mean: A five-month update from Disney Plus. It’ll show them!

Specifically, Variety reports on the messages posted this week by the two The New York Post and Fox News, apparently unhappy with the streaming service’s decision – five months ago – not to include films requiring a content disclaimer for historic racism to be seen on accounts reported for 7-year-olds or less. (The movies are all still on the service, notice you, and easily accessible; you can’t just access them if there is a reasonable expectation that you, the consumer, are too young to read or understand the no. -responsibility related to context.) understand Peter Pan, Dumbo, Swiss family Robinson, The Aristocats, Fancy, The jungle Book, and The Lady and the Tramp.

Who, again: all of this was in place in October 2020, before Green eggs and ham had even become a fundamental conservative text. But the all-seeing, all-shining eye of COM has no concern for your linear understanding of time, mortals. The disclaimer were part of a wave of streaming services that accepted the racially insensitive legacy of older material, a modern iteration of the “What do we do with Blown away by the wind?”A question that has been the subject of fierce cinema criticism for decades. (Or the problem “What to do with the sitcom’s blackface?” back to the late 2000s.) None of this is new, and most seem reasonable enough, as parents might, in fact, want to talk to their children before showing them something like the racist stereotypes exhibited in Peter Pan.

On the other hand, the To post was presumably sitting on this “Disney Less“Burning for a year now, so much the better for them to finally get it out of their systems.
