What's Bothering You?

Looks like it's Disney pulling eps off Hulu that they assume will cause a twitter fit. They're also re-theming Splash Mountain to Princess and the frog, as well as pulled an episode of Community titled Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Digital media is way too easy to censor.

I had to Google to figure out what was wrong with the Community episode. I've seen that episode countless times and don't actually remember Chang dressing up (although it is totally something he would do). 😅
 
Seeing completely normal things that I cannot relate to at all is kinda bothering me. Yeah, most people want to find a boyfriend/girlfriend. I've never felt that way in my entire life...

I can actually relate to that example perfectly, so there are at least two of us. At least for now, I'm quite happy on my own.

I am also pretty sure some people have a letter and a flag for this feeling but I have never been bothered by it enough to look into it
 
The bf and I got into an argument today. It wasn’t over anything major and I wasn’t super worried about it initially because I figured it was the kind of little fight that just blows over once everyone gets the chance to cool off. But he hasn’t texted me back at all this evening which is unusual for him. I usually get a “goodnight, sweet dreams, I love you” at the very least, even when we’re not in agreement on everything at the moment. It’s possible he just forgot or fell asleep early, but of course my anxiety is spiking 🙃
 
i spent about 6 hours straight drawing on my computer and now my head is killing me. tried to go to bed but still cannot sleep.
 
Okay, but have you SEEN Song of the South, what it was based on? I have seen clips, and I can tell you without a moment’s hesitation that it’s wildly racist. Although the ride itself didn’t contain racist elements, it still could serve as a reminder of a racist production and leave a lot of people, especially POC, feeling uncomfortable. I know it still made me uncomfortable, even though it’s a great ride as far as the drop goes.

You say historical value, but I’m not sure if you’re talking about Song of the South or Splash Mountain. If you mean Splash Mountain- it’s not like all record of splash mountain is disappearing. I’m sure there are countless videos. time goes on, things have to change. Old Epcot rides are being removed and remade as we speak because they weren’t connecting with audiences like they used to. It’s the nature of life and of theme parks. And from what I understand, the layout and drop will be the same (based on the amazing concept art that Disney posted). so the ride is very much preserved.

Now if you’re talking about the “historical value” of Song of the South - it’s incredibly, wildly racist. That’s a history we should be ashamed up and not looking to relive, IIMO.

No one made Disney do this, either. They’re doing it so that there’s no question about their modern values - they don’t want any confusion as to whether they’re praising a racist ideal or not. Companies evolve, too, and they have to choose values to put forward as a part of that.

Sorry for the soapbox, but this is an argument that’s super important to me - I want a Disney experience where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable, and it’s hard for me to understand why people oppose that.
