I’m starting petitions to get rid of Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan, Dumbo, Hall of Presidents, Carousel of Progress, mickeys Runaway Railway, Tom Sawyer island, Pirates, and the Tiki Room.

You wont

haven't checked in on this thread in a bit. Has Disney cancelled this terrible concept yet?

This post indicates to me that you don't understand the perspective of those who are saying they are hurt by the ride's association with the film.

How long before these petitioners come after Tom Sawyer Island? If they even realize it’s there right now...

Maybe most Italians have more pressing concerns than being perpetual crybabies.

So who is it, in your opinion, who are being "perpetual crybabies?"

I am a liberal. I think publicly displaying the confederate flag is terrible. I also think parts of our history is terrible and it’s about time the real Columbus is portrayed to those who didn’t know his doings. However, changing this ride due to a vocal minority is wrong and dangerous. Will me having the picture below on my wall be seen as flying a confederate flag? I hope not. What about wearing a Splash Mountain shirt at the park? Will you get asked to turn it inside out? What’s next on this slippery slope? Tom Sawyer Island? Some of the parts on the railroad? Country Bears? Come to think of it, the golden age of Hollywood was racist, sexist and full of violence. You couldn’t be LGBT and if you were pregnant and not married the studios would force issues. Let’s get rid of Hollywood Studios too.

I better take my picture down. Again I am a bleeding heart liberal and I have these views. This is scarier than the virus.

Only #BLM, right?

Which is who, though? Who felt hurt while riding it? Has anyone seriously avoided this ride because they thought it was racist?

BLM and Antifa for starters.

In your opinion, could there ever be a segment of society who might have valid complaints about something in a Disney ride/film? If so, at what point do you think Disney should respond?

A gay or trans agenda.

Exactly. And I think that's the point many of us have been trying to make. This is a very slippery slope where ultimately no one wins, and the change solves nothing.

How long before Disney comes for it?

There has been rumors for ages about that.........

Not sure.....

A gay or trans agenda.

And do you think Disney's response has been sufficient?

 

[Parker in NYC]

Just don't mention Columbus.

 

[noodles]

Just don't mention Columbus.

Thought he was already cancelled.

 

[Parker in NYC]

And do you think Disney's response has been sufficient?

Oh I was jesting. But the mere mention of Elsa's sexuality a few pages back was met with... a certain response. Whether or not Disney was going to address it, they didn't. But there was an uproar at the possibility.

Tiana herself is one more princess in Disney’s long line of promoting sexism.. sometimes veiled, but almost always there.
Selective outrage is such an interesting thing to watch.

Nah, too many unconcerned crybabies with more important things to do are still in play. His voyage was bankrolled by Spain, so let the Spanish decide.

I don't think it's not a slippery slope in the way you're thinking. This change, if it is in response to the conversation about racism in America, may indeed lead to more changes at Disney parks as people scrutinize them for racial insensitivity. But it seems to be much more about Disney not wanting to fight in defense of the film and changing the narrative than some slippery slope to getting rid of anything that might offend anyone anywhere.
