Disney Plus Adds Content Disclaimer to ‘The Muppet Show’ Episodes

“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the disclaimer reads. “Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

The disclaimer has been added to a total of 18 episodes throughout the show’s five seasons, including those guest hosted by Jim Nabors, Joel Grey, Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, Cleo Laine, James Coco, Spike Milligan, Crystal Gayle, Kenny Rogers, Beverly Sills, Jonathan Winters, Alan Arkin, James Coburn, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Debbie Harry, Wally Boag and Marty Feldman.

“Disney is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe,” the disclaimer continues. “To learn more about how stories have impacted society visit: www. Disney.com/StoriesMatter.”initiative outlines the platform’s reasoning for adding the labels to its content.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, we are in the process of reviewing our library and adding advisories to content that includes negative depictions or mistreatment of people or cultures,” a statement on Disney’s website says. “Rather than removing this content, we see an opportunity to spark conversation and open dialogue on history that affects us all.

So they added Glee and The Muppet show with some adult humor.. but Love, Victor has to go to Hulu. Even 10 things I hate about you is on Disney+ and there is a penis on a mans face in that movie.🤔🥸😡

YET... Disney did NOT find it *offensive* for China to demand black actors (like Chadwick Boseman & John Boyega) be removed from (Marvel & Star Wars, respectively) movie promos? What a bunch of 🐮 💩💩💩💩💩.

Insanity. wokeness

Fair enough I guess. I completely agree with the disclaimers if the episode includes genuinely negative and offensive stereotypes and stuff but maybe the Johnny Cash one is a tiny bit overkill as attention is never brought to the flag, it’s in the background and it’s small.

that disclaimer is pretty worthless, get creative with editing instead... for example, turn the confederate flag into a rainbow flag
