Photo: Disney+ Adds Content Warning For The Muppet Show
After watching The Muppet Show on Disney + over the weekend Big Jim noticed that there is a Content Warning for the show…
Disney+ has added a new disclaimer to old episodes of The Muppet Show, warning of “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures” throughout the series.
“These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. 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.”
Disney+ has added an on-screen content advisory to films that include “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures.”
