Cancel culture—-ON TOPIC

Disney+ gives ‘The Muppet Show’ an ‘offensive content’ disclaimer before select episodes

“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,”...

I didn’t post a thread about the “cancel culture” before now because I naively/stupidly thought it would go away. As more and more people and things are being canceled though, I guess it needs its own thread.

For some reason, some people are unable to reason in their minds that things that happened a long time ago are not going to be the same as the current “woke culture” and should be either canceled or whitewashed. The latest thing to be found offensive or “canceled”, is The Muppet Show.

Everything that we know, or experience is just a huge tapestry that we cannot fully see, because we are too close, or because we bring all of our own baggage to the party. It's complicated.

Thank you Dr. Fauci!

I find a message like this maybe be the best we can do. They aren’t removing the content, just distancing themselves from it, while still making money off of it....

Why is it that one particular political persuasion is doing most, if not all, the cancelling? Exactly why would anyone find a world run by a lynch mob mentality attractive? Seems it's reaching way beyond Twitter now.

I remember seeing "Song of the South" in the theater when I was a kid, Disney completely buried it you can't even buy a copy now and I can't really blame them.

Disney is fighting a losing battle. I predict The Muppets will disappear soon.

"We disapprove of racism, but not so much that we won't make a buck off it."
Lol.

What does Disney find offensive? Mel Brooks' depiction of a Nazi Officer?

I wish Disney would disappear soon. From the face of the earth.

I wish they would run the unedited version of Blazing Saddles 24/7 on all channels for a couple months.

Oh, I knows. I knows. I'm just a worn-out ol' man what don't do nothin' but tell stories. But they ain't never done no harm to nobody. And if they don't do no good, how come they last so long? This here's the only home I knows. I was going to whitewash the walls, too, but not now. Time done run out.
