Disney+ Disclaimers Added Fuel to the Fire
Arguments arose that the disclaimer message on Disney+ does not warn how the content is offensive but instead uses cultural context as an excuse for the insensitivity in the movies. Disney has been compared to Warner Bros. and their usage of a more direct disclaimer message at the beginning of “Looney Tunes” explaining how their cartoons “depict some of the ethnic and racial prejudices that were commonplace in American society… [they] were wrong then and are wrong now.” This message was celebrated for its brutal honesty.
