Disney Thinks Tinker Bell and Captain
Hook Are ‘Potentially Problematic’

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 4/19/2022 8:04:26 AM

Disney execs worried that Tinker Bell and Captain Hook were “potentially problematic” during their review of content headed to the new Disney+ streaming service, the New York Times reports. The review is part of Disney’s “Stories Matter” initiative, a wide-ranging effort to bring more inclusion into the Disney-sphere. From the project’s website: As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures. Tinker Bell (yes, I thought it was one word too) raised concern because she is “body conscious”

Yeah, we need a trans female to play the part of Tinker Bell, one with a flatter hind quarters.

When does the "inclusion" Disney desperately desires reach a limit? Will Disney next "include" practitioners of Necrophilia? Will rapists find their advocate? What is the next fetish that must be championed, celebrated, and marketed to children?

So Tinker Bell and Captain Hook might upset the delicate sensitivities of their audience, but grooming and sexualizing elementary school children is fine.

Better back in the day when classical music was introduced through cartoons to young children by creative adults who wanted to teach good things to them and make them want to learn more, and I can remember humor in cartoons that was sometimes subtle - maybe a little irony - but the creators of the cartoons never talked down to children. They did not underestimate them. That was then, and now........................................some want children to aspire to be mediocre.

I would hate to see the product of animation by Disney today that would be PC and unobtrusive. It would reek of weird sicko indoctrination/grooming for sure. I'll sit back and think of early Disney while Walt was still alive in the 1950s and early 60s.

When the Wonderful World of Disney was first broadcast on TV, Tinker Bell introduced the show. "Well, we can't have that!" say the current perverts in charge.

Just remember, hook didn't ALWAYS have a disability... Peter happily told Wendy that he cut off Hook's hand and fed it to the crocodile, which is why it stalks Hook all over Neverland, hoping to get the rest of him.

Well, gee. Since every piece of literature, movie, work of art, speech, tv show, or play must include some type of conflict I guess there will always be good guys and bad guys. So someone somewhere somehow will be offended. So just go sit down and shut up while the State feeds us some bland, approved, history-erasing pablum about how wonderful we all have been forever. Wouldn't it be wild if the fake Metaverse ironically becomes a place to escape from our fake, fabricated pristine society?

So Disney wants a cartoon world where everybody is nice, gay and uninteresting? The problem is not with the Disney characters, it's the stupid family and pedophiles that run the organization. Their favorite character must be Goofy from the way they present themselves. When the theme parks close, the movies flop and the cruise ships all go to drydock, one of them will undoubtedly commission a study to determine what happened.

If Disney should lose money and attendance in the theme parks seriously declines. I do not think the people at the top making decisions, or the family will see the connection between the changes and declining success and popularity Disney has had for decades. I think they will push their agenda even if unpopular with the majority. They just will not care. I compare this with the tone-deaf response the Biden administration displays to the country, no matter the obvious pain it is causing so many people. His poll numbers continue to decline, people complain, and it falls on deaf ears. Arrogant, flippant, uncaring members of his team lie and keep Biden away from the public and refuse to honestly address any questions or concerns.

Oh, #9, thank you for the recollection of Tink opening the show. I can still feel the thrill of seeing her on the screen, knowing I can let myself be pulled into whatever wonderfulness awaits. It's heartbreaking and infuriating to see watch today's Disney destroy such a wonderful and pure creation.

Re #21 and Capt. Hook's being Republican: Although Disney's Captain Hook is a cartoon character, when Dustin Hoffman# appeared in Hook, he reportedly patterned his character after William F. Buckley, Jr. because Buckley allegedly "frightened" him*. I haven't seen that movie. Can anyone here confirm that Hoffman sounded even slightly like my mentor? *In Annie Hall (1977) Woody Allen used a rolled up National Review to deal with household pests. # Forty years ago after Tootsie SCTV did a fantastic skit with Joe Flaherty and John Candy (Big Jim McBob and Billy Sol Hurok) in Farm Film Celebrity Blow Up. They blew up Dustin as Tootsie. (Of course they would.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrttPwepgp0 Don't be drinking anything when you get to the end of this skit. It'll come out, Believe me.

My first exposure to Peter Pan was the 1960 movie where Mary Martin played the role. I was about 7 years old. I thought the name was Peterpan. And the idea that a woman was playing the part of a man did not occur to me. Peterpan was female. I did not notice that the first name was Peter. Then came the Robin Williams version. And as a middle aged adult I became confused that Peterpan was being played by a man. Then the reviewers raved about what an incredible job Mary Martin had done playing the male role of Peter Pan. And how she had "pulled it off" so well. What?! I said. Peterpan is supposed to be a man?! What?! Oh. First name is Peter. I was a child and I never thought for a second that the Mary Martin character was supposed to be male. Even as a 7 year old I could tell the difference between and male and a female and I knew Mary Martin was female. I wasn't a complete idiot. But now we are asking children to be complete idiots. After they realize how we are trying to trick them into believing things that are obviously not true how are we going to convince them about global warming?

Ursula, Tinkerbell, and Captain Hook are not real. They are pretend characters. Scary sea witches like Ursula look scary. Tinker Bell looks like a fairy. In real life there are mean people with disabilities like Capt. Hook. There are people like Tinker Bell who worry about how they look (like lots of people). That is real life. Will Disney just start using only grey stick figures for characters so nobody is offended? Nope, because stick figures would discriminate against fat people.

Joe Biden’s ‘Stand for Ukraine’?

This April 17 ABC News photo of a man petting a frightened dog with its paws wrapped around his leg beside the ruins of a home damaged by strikes amid Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine, speaks ever so loudly of the tragedy of war. Left in the rubble of what was once its home, was the poor little dog frightened and confused? Indeed, the photo is heart-wrenching to see. Wars—no matter where they happen—always claim the lives of innocent victims on both warring sides.

We all get that political strategists like to cheerlead for their party. Some might even say that it’s their job. I, however, think that a good strategist is willing to see and speak the truth. If their party is failing, they aren’t doing anyone any favors by pretending things are going well. Which brings me to Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, who appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday and gave the most laughable assessment of the upcoming midterms I’ve seen. According to Brazile, the GOP is “essentially running on fumes” from allegations of voter fraud in 2020, while Democrats “are running on the economy that’s roaring back” and “fighting inflation.”

The world leaders are acting like trapped men. Vladimir Putin, having begun what many would consider an ill-conceived invasion of neighboring Ukraine, is speeding down a road he probably realizes ends in disaster. Yet he cannot stop or exit on terms consistent with the basis of his power because any deals with Kyiv, except accepting its surrender, would be a sign of weakness. Since Russia lacks the material strength to compel submission, the only alternatives are to keep pulling the same ineffective levers harder, whatever the cost. The casualties mount even at the center. Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, already rumored to be in disgrace, has allegedly suffered a

Crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi made headlines last year after snapping up Dorsey's tweet, which reads: "just setting up my twttr." The Iranian-born Estavi expected to make more than 15x on the investment, listing it on popular NFT marketplace OpenSea last week for $48 million. He vowed to send 50% of the proceeds to charity. Unfortunately for Estavi, the top bid as of this writing is just $30,739 - a loss on paper of roughly 99% what he paid. [Tweet] NFTs exist on the blockchain

Thank God for fact-checkers. Where would we be without them? Instead of believing the evidence provided by our own two eyes, we’re assured that what we see isn’t really what we thought we saw. Except when it is. But that’s another story. Last Thursday, Joe Biden spoke to students and faculty at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro. It was boilerplate political stuff — blaming the supply chain problems on COVID-19, increased fuel prices on the Russians, and inflation wasn’t his fault. At the end of the speech, Biden’s eyes became a little glassy and he turned around slowly and extended his hand. Except there was no one there.

One of the most visible signs of our federal government’s corruption is the treatment being meted out to the January 6 prisoners, who have been deprived of their express and inherent rights under the Constitution, one of which is the right to an impartial judge. Dustin Thompson, however, was not accorded that right, as Judge Reggie Walton explicitly showed his political bias and hostility to Thompson. Walton should have recused himself before the trial. With the trial over, at the very least, the judgment should be reversed. Ideally, Walton would be removed from the bench and disbarred.

President Joe Biden's Education Department again moved to ease the burden of U.S. student loans on Tuesday, with the federal government claiming its latest reforms will wipe out debts for 40,000 such borrowers and bring 3.6 million Americans closer to ending their payments.Education Secretary Miguel Cardona called the current system a 'life sentence' for millions of low-income borrowers and pledged to correct 'historical failures' that have plagued repayment schemes like the income-driven repayment program (IDR) and Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF). Borrowers working as public servants are eligible for forgiveness under PSLF once they’ve made 10 years of qualifying payments.
Why Are Women Unhappy 26 replies

A little over a decade ago, two researchers at Wharton published a paper showing that, despite women’s increasing work and educational opportunities, their self-reported happiness was in steady decline. Back in 1970, women were on average happier than men; they are now less happy than men. Broadly, since 1970, everyone has gotten more miserable. But the decline in women’s overall happiness has outpaced men’s, and the happiness curve inverted sometime in the early 1990s. The paper also documents increasing anxiety and neuroticism, as well as decreasing social cohesion among women.
