Greybeard Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Good idea, bad idea, makes no difference? Personally, I don't need the warning but I am really interested in how some sections of society are going to react to this. https://summit.news/2019/11/14/disney-puts-outdated-cultural-depictions-trigger-warning-on-old-movies/

Gray Beard Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I saw that Warner Brothers cartoons (Tom and Jerry) also have warnings about outdated cultural depictions. I’m curious about this, because my daughter has commented that the old Peter Pan movies mock “red Indians”, and it’s pretty obvious that there are racist stereotypes with the crows in Dumbo, just to name a few.

Actually, there’s a Graybeard, a Gray Beard, and a Greybeard. I’m Graybeard and Gray Beard, but Graybeard isn’t used anymore because of a password and email mix up. 1

I mean it's basically a quick reminder that "Hey these childhood films are great but they probably contain some ***** up things you didn't think about at the time."
Just Joshin' Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 Why do I need a warning - I am capable of making up my own mind. The fact that a few movies have a warning is not a big deal by itself but it is one more drop of water in the wave that wants to control all messaging.
snafu Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 I'm triggered by the fact that they are warning me that I might be triggered. And I'm anxious that if I watch, I might not be triggered and then I won't fit in.
RaoulDuke79 Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) Can I request warnings on movies with dudes getting intimate with one another? I'm not down with that. Edited November 15, 2019 by RaoulDuke79

I mean it's basically a quick reminder that "Hey these childhood films are great but they probably contain some ***** up things you didn't think about at the time." I'm with you. There's been more than a few occasions where I've re-watched films and TV shows and been surprised at some of the language and tropes used that never entered my mind as a kid. It's not my culture that would be depicted in any kind of derogatory fashion so I'm not about to tell people of other cultures that they can't be upset by it.

I guess I could of put it in to a softer light when stating my opinion on society today. I'm glad I grew up in a different world then today. a time when society was not so offended by things as they are today. I mean, it has come to a time where the disney shows that were before and during my time now have to have a warning so the feelings are not hurt. sad. 1
