What's Bothering You?

the fact that i’ve supported and loved someone for years who is quickly being exposed as a not-so-great person is just,, embarrassing lmao. i truly believed they were good :c
 
Looks like it's Disney pulling eps off Hulu that they assume will cause a twitter fit. They're also re-theming Splash Mountain to Princess and the frog, as well as pulled an episode of Community titled Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. Digital media is way too easy to censor.

Looks like I won’t be riding Splash Mountain anymore.

I never truly liked the ride to even begin with, because of how it’s easy to get wet, but when they get rid of historical value for something else (especially if it was done out of political correctness), I would not go on. I already decided that I will not ride a few other rides (mostly California Adventure Park rides) because of how they changed some rides to something else.

Okay, but have you SEEN Song of the South, what it was based on? I have seen clips, and I can tell you without a moment’s hesitation that it’s wildly racist. Although the ride itself didn’t contain racist elements, it still could serve as a reminder of a racist production and leave a lot of people, especially POC, feeling uncomfortable. I know it still made me uncomfortable, even though it’s a great ride as far as the drop goes.

You say historical value, but I’m not sure if you’re talking about Song of the South or Splash Mountain. If you mean Splash Mountain- it’s not like all record of splash mountain is disappearing. I’m sure there are countless videos. time goes on, things have to change. Old Epcot rides are being removed and remade as we speak because they weren’t connecting with audiences like they used to. It’s the nature of life and of theme parks. And from what I understand, the layout and drop will be the same (based on the amazing concept art that Disney posted). so the ride is very much preserved.

Now if you’re talking about the “historical value” of Song of the South - it’s incredibly, wildly racist. That’s a history we should be ashamed up and not looking to relive, IIMO.

No one made Disney do this, either. They’re doing it so that there’s no question about their modern values - they don’t want any confusion as to whether they’re praising a racist ideal or not. Companies evolve, too, and they have to choose values to put forward as a part of that.

Sorry for the soapbox, but this is an argument that’s super important to me - I want a Disney experience where everyone feels welcomed and comfortable, and it’s hard for me to understand why people oppose that.
 
Random painful bruises have started appearing on my legs from the knees down, and I have no idea how I got them nor where they could've come from. My lower legs are also now a few slight shades darker than the rest of my body, with a subtle bluish/purplish hue (mostly on the calves and ankles, the feet are the same as usual). It's probably nothing or me just imagining it to be worse than it actually is, but I'm still a little unnerved all the same. I really don't know where the bruises are coming from...

I also never cared too much about Song of the South either. I wouldn’t care if it’s not available. But, to censor out history is not a good way to handle current issues. It’s best to learn from it, not erase it. Now I wouldn’t boycott Disney completely for making that decision. I just won’t ride it.
 
Was awake between 1:30-4am feeling sick. When I did finally go to sleep figured, hey, at least I've nothing time-specific to do today so can lie in - nope, neighbours woke me up by shouting directly underneath my window. So fed-up with not sleeping well. 😔
 
Regretting the can of cola before bed. Woke-up at 1:30am feeling awful. 😖
Ugh mood. Hope you're getting better D:

Also they want me to attend the every two year eye check-up and I'm like please no they just want me to buy new eyeglasses and not wasting on that right now for a couple of reasons :(

There are differences between historical values that should be kept for good reasons, and those who shouldn't. I don't agree cutting off episodes/removing comedy stuff because people want to cling on to their precious media jobs, but honestly about the ride/movie I agree with Mary, and if they are supposedly as family friendly it might be a good idea if the movie/ride is intended for children also.

In context I haven't read nor watched Gone with the Wind, but that's a completely other case and it's intended for an adult audience so that should just be left with an explanatory preface or likewise.

Ughhh sorry man. Noisy neighbours are the worst - I got them right above me :/

Have to be up for something in the morning, so I can’t sleep. So at the moment... lack of sleep is bothering me (probably going to take a nap afterwards).
 
they have it when I looked online just now? Maybe it’s a regional thing
Mmm yeah their website has it but I can't order it other than pick-up in other IKEA store like several hours away and I can't get train tickets for that....
