Elmo was a character on Sesame Street. Elmo was never on “the Muppet Show”. Helps to know the material you’re whining about.
Disney cares about money.
Also Kevin Clash had to be disappeared from Sesame Street.
Elmo did cuss at me once.
True story.
Disney is appealing to their 20-40 middle class white liberal viewers.
shocking.
Weird isn’t it? Almost like they’re a huge demographic now or something.

I love being relevant for once…
Samm: Jezcoe:This thread is about Disney.
No … its about what Disney did and why they did it. I’m talking about the why.
They did it because they are a large entertainment corporation that is run by faceless spreadsheets that want the output to be greater than the input.
So they want the revenue from airing beloved content, but want to hedge it by acknowledging that some of the content didn’t necessarily age well.
Who knew that culture war reactionaries would react?
Well literally everyone… but we all think that the reaction is quite silly.
You are thinking too small. They did it because the PC and Woke society pressured them into it.
Funny no one seems to have issue with Disney supporting the CCP, which is my bigger gripe than singing cats, but do carry on. I’ve got to get to work.

Everything Disney does is to make money.
It is the sole reason for their existence
Samm:Nonsense. They did it because they were pressured by the Wokes.
If they were pressured by the woke then they would throw it in the vault at the bottom of the ocean with Song of the South.
Is that what you really believe about the Muppets?

No.
But a content warning isn’t something to get all up in arms about.
Just like any other business. Which is probably why they need to be regulated.

Because that is what people buying Disney stuff want.
Its almost like they are trying to appeal to a demographic.
If by “wokes” you mean their audience, then yes. That’s what I said.
No. They don’t hear from most of their audience because most people are not offended by the Muppets. People don’t complain about the things that they like.
It’s certainly more valid than getting upset over mustard or feet on a desk. Not by much though.

The average Disney audience is a White Liberal in their 30-40s.
Samm:You have no standing to tell me what my posts are about.
Well I can definitely read the posts.
I wish you would start doing so, rather than to read into them what you think they say.
Samm:Nonsense. They did it because they were pressured by the Wokes.
The only thing Disney cares about is their stock price.
Then they have a surprise coming.

why a lot of boomers buying Disney Plus to watch shows from the 90s?
Yes. The evil corporation is going to listen to the imaginary complainers who never watch the show versus actual subscribers who fork over their money. You run with that.
