I love Disney World, but wokeness is ruining the experience | Commentary

QuoteDisney is in the process of taking the woke scalpel to the Jungle Cruise. Trader Sam is out because he might offend certain people. Every grown-up in the room realizes that Trader Sam is not a representation of reality and is meant as a funny and silly caricature. It is no more based in racism than every Disney caricature of an out-of-touch white American dad.

https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Trader_Sam

QuoteHe was the grandson of one Billamongawonga AKA Trader Bill, a trader of shrunken heads which seemingly lead to Sam becoming part of the family business. Sam's family was also cannibalistic and largely composed of warriors.

Trader Sam is the Jungle's Head Salesman.

I still don't get it.

I think they are comparing a black person getting upset and violent about being called a n***** to Mickey Mouse getting upset about being called a mouse. They are taking a real thing and exaggerating to a ridiculous degree for humorous affect.

It shows the deliberate ignorance at play to completely ignore all the context. You can almost hear Garrison's plaintive whine "why are they upset, they are n*****?".

Funny stuff for the sorts who think a sticker on their monster truck that says I IDENTIFY AS A PRIUS is fun.

I think if I can get on board the pronoun train, I can imagine a Disneyworld where the characters/creatures have rejected specionymic last names (and indeed any reference to their ur-species) as regressive.

love that he thinks free rides are a bad thing. americans are weird

So what does Goofy identify as in this new woke Disney?

He'd be called Mickey X if he was a black power activist. Nope, I have no idea.

What's odd is Garrison could legitimately attack Disney for ignoring Chinese human rights abuses in Xinjiang, as he's so anti-China. They also have a long history of using sweatshops to make merchandise and exploiting/underpaying American workers, but I guess that's good old fashioned capitalism that Garrison can get behind. Do some research, Ben!

idunnosomename

He doesnt even know that when you get into Disneyland, you dont have to pay for ANY of the rides! Because it's very expensive to get in!

Not to mention erasing black people from it's marketing for the Chinese market.



Massive open goal there, if you're attacking Disney for it's performative wokeness.

Kankurette

I thought he'd approve of Disney, all those racist old cartoons.

The movie poster thing is fake anti-China Twitter propaganda. Those are just normal alternate posters selected to make a misleading comparison.

No need to derail this thread by responding to the anti-China "human rights abuses" propaganda (in a student newspaper editorial).

Appreciate the scare quotes. Heh. With gweilos like this, who needs a politburo?

Fambo Number Mive

Garrison's latest nonsense:

QuoteYes, whether you like it or not, Gates will use mosquitoes to inject substances into you that you may not want in your body. Far fetched?

He also compares Gates to Stalin and claims

QuoteHe is buying up vast amounts of farmland—probably to decrease crop production

I'm actually interested in reality and sourced reporting, unlike many.

So Disney is "woke" but Donald Duck is a MAGA supporter?

Maybe it's midget. Cos a dwarf is saying it. Doesn't make much sense, but fuck knows.

It now says:

Double plus pathetic

Fucking hell, even Ben doesn't know what his joke is.


Keebleman

Other than the word/acronym confusion I thought it was one of his better efforts.  The Tran Station, Black Lives Matterhorn and the socialism go-round being a free ride were all pertinent to the theme-park, er, theme.

And Donald Duck is being victimised purely because he's a Donald.  I assume.

So that Star Wars poster with the one black character omitted wasn't unique to the Chinese market?
