News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

I prefer not to get this land if it means destroying the Rivers of America, Mark Twain, Tom Sawyer, and Huck Finn. Disney is taking the heart and soul out of their parks! Something that they will never get back!

I’m sad about RoA but I think TSI would have needed to be rethemed or renamed if it stayed, the book literally has the super racist character of “Injun Joe”, and I imagine Disney would want to distance themselves from that like they did with Song of the South

Again, we’re back to context. Villains do exist. Letting people encounter them is important. But a villains land is a celebration of villainy. Villains exist to be vanquished. Not to be celebrated. A land of villains is a land devoid of hope, beauty, and order.

Neither Haunted Mansion or Pirates is about "defeating" the villainy
Both are a celebration of the "bad" characters doing some really terrible things
