The Dr. Seuss Controversy (sigh)

[Crimson1967]

A dive into Richards’ Wikipedia page made me laugh. Prior to being governor, she was the state Treasurer. The person who was Treasurer before her was Warren G. Harding. He was preceded by a man named Jesse James.

Disney “cancels” more of their movies.

Disney+ pulls ‘Peter Pan,’ ‘Dumbo’ from children’s profiles due to stereotypes, negative depictions

“The Aristocats” and “Swiss Family Robinson” were also pulled from its offerings for children under 7.

I remember seeing Dumbo when I was 8. I thought it was racist then.

When our son was little we got a tape of Peter Pan that he watched continuously. The scene where they sang “What makes the red man red?” was very cringe worthy and clearly not something that would be done today.

Now that they are releasing movies with content warnings, will they revive Song of the South?

Oh just wait. I’m sure we are going to have someone compare the Native Americans to some Louisiana nation of people and bring up polls saying that Native Americans aren’t offended. Trying to say this is more white guilt instead of the right thing to do.

And a short disclaimer at the beginning saying this isn’t something we’d make today totally ruins the viewing experience for these people.

If I remember correctly, didn’t Jerry Falwell get all upset because he thought one of the Teletubbies was gay? I think it’s that a purse was involved.
I was still doing drugs then so I actually thought the Teletubbies were cool!

I think it was because one of them was purple or some color that is “gay”.

I put it on once when my son was little. It was so stupid I never allowed it to be put on again.

It was because he was purple and his name was Tinky Winky

It wasn't a purse, but a fanny pack (dad purse, "murse") and if you put it on too tight your "tinky winky" does turn purple......so I hear.

Make Them Say Exactly What is Being Canceled

Conservatives angry about Dr. Seuss books being taken out of print really don't want to talk about what is actually in those books.

i'm totally not a racist, i just want to let the market decide.

Just read that the Disney+ decision to block seven year-olds from seeing certain movies was made five months ago. So I guess it was Trump’s doing.

I had a co-worker insist Green Eggs and Ham was one of the books removed by the people that own it. But this is the same guy who said Hank Aaron died from the COVID vaccine.

So I got Disney + and tried to watch Peter Pan. All it does was make sure you are above the age of 7. I think people are blowing this way out of proportion like the disclaimer that was put by HBO Max for Gone with the Wind.

I saw people say parents should decide what their kids see. Parents have the ability to let them see the movies. I don’t see the problem. Maybe it won’t let you see it if you have the mentality of a seven year old and that is why they are upset.

They're also mad that Pepe Le Pew isn't in the new Space Jam apparently

TBH.... Space Jam 2 probably shouldn’t exist anyways. The first one was bad enough but it was nostalgic enough to say “it’s the 90’s”. I think it’s just Lebron trying to say “I’m the new Jordan”, and it’s pretty obvious.

But i do find it humorous that anti SJWs are mad about the absence of Bunny breasts and a raper skunk.

 

[81usaf92]

On Lola Bunny... I will never get why a girl bunny MUST have human breasts, thick thighs, and a big butt to exist. I think the Looney Tunes show is probably her best version because she isn’t overly sexualized and she actually is funny instead of just that generic femme fatale. But these man babies in their mom’s basement can’t be happy without their sexy bunny.
