Can we o do something about those “Contains tobacco depictions” warnings now?

Are parents not allowed to be warned of tobacco usage in a movie or show so they can decide whether they want their kids to watch such usage?

You trying to get more kids smoking? You work for Big Tobacco or something?

It’s been unavailable in the US since the
’90s, well before people started crying woke.

Back then, they used the term "politically correct." Woke simply replaced that.

I think it would be financially stupid for Disney to re-release Song of the South at this point. It should have gotten a limited Walt Disney Treasures release in the early 2000s, but at this point the movie has been effectively banned for almost 40 years and is too much of a lightning rod for controversy, even if the release was carefully assembled and filled with all the appropriate disclaimers. I really think at this point Disney is just waiting for the movie to eventually slide into public domain (about 17 years from now) so that they can finally be rid of any responsibility for it.
