Can you? That feels more like grasping at straws to me. It was first that Disney is hiding Facilier away and not using him because he is "problematic", now its he's not in his Voodoo mask so they are acknowledging him but not really acknowledging him.
Both are grasping at straws, that's the point. Him being in a 2 second clip alongside Mad Madam Mim, The Horned King, and Mother Gothel is not a bold endorsement. If he had multiple clips like Scar, Ursula, Evil Queen/Hag, Maleficent, Jafar, Yzma....then maybe you'd have a point.
Well to be fair the fact he is present at all in an official Disney presentation and in the official Disney Halloween events is more indication then an assumption that Disney thinks he's "problematic".
Maybe they can retheme Winnie the Pooh to something else that takes place in the bayou, like the Rescuers or another Pirates ride.
It would actually make a great Tiana ride with us exploring the bayou in a darkride form. Maybe we could be looking for a band or spice for some celebration.
Maybe the rethemed Pooh ride could actually be a sequel to Tiana's Bayou Adventure? Now that Tiana has hired a new band of critters, she realizes she needs to pay them a livable wage. Not wanting to mooch off of Naveen's parents, Tiana returns to the bayou. But this time, instead of looking for special spice or critter friends, she is looking for treasure that she hopes to cash in in order to finance the salaries of her new hires!

During this journey (which will not feature Dr. Facillier or any excitement) Tiana won't find gold, but she will meet several lovable new characters (all reskinned animatronics from the Pooh attraction) and instead will learn that the real treasure is the friends she made along the way.
The ride concludes with Tiana deciding to give herself a pay cut so she can afford to pay her staff, because friendship — not money — is what really matters.
The ride could be called Tiana's Other Bayou Adventure or Return to the Bayou: Featuring Princess Tiana!
I think all attractions (including HOP) should be re themed to either Moana or TianaMaybe the rethemed Pooh ride could actually be a sequel to Tiana's Bayou Adventure?

Lol. I feel I've been mostly consistent in my thought process. Here are the thoughts I've generally expressed about the retheme:
What’s interesting is with RoA “glowing away” in WDW and the Bayou Country name change this was an opportunity to sunset the canoes. But I’m happy to see this is not the case.
Canoes is a low expense attraction, so it probably doesn't save much money to close it.
sometimes you guys need to chill
