Interesting that the problematic aspects of Tinkerbell and Hook are her body-consciousness and his hook hand, but no mention of the scene that the two actually have together, which is very “patriarchal” and “sexist”, as Hook manipulates Tink’s emotions, while almost wooing her and flirting with her.

In other words, we want to virtue-signal *and* keep making money off these movies...

When I was a boy all us boys wanted to be Captain Hook. The girls wanted to be Tinker Bell. It did not damage us. Jana grew up to be hot hot hot, and I a man.

It did not damage us.

While we’re at it, isn’t Scar a little darker-colored than Mufasa in “The Lion King?” What’s up with that? Buncha dang racists.

No more villains, no more heroes, only ordinary bland characters of indeterminate gender.

“I’d Love To Change The World”
Ten Years After

“I’d Love To Change The World”

Everywhere is freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor, ‘til there are no rich no more
I’d love to change the world - but I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you

Population - keeps on breeding, nation bleeding,
Still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny, bees make honey
Who needs money? Monopoly!
I’d love to change the world - but I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you... Oh yeah

World pollution, there’s no solution, institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor, them and us
We’ll stop the war!
I’d love to change the world - but I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you... It’s called luck

I would have figured Captain Hook would have been Disney’s new mascot! I mean, I always saw Hook as a bit of a pedophile, he spends all his days chasing adolescent boys around and doing no real pirating. Pretty strange if you ask me.

As has been said by others, including myself, Walt Disney has to be rolling in his grave!

That’s interesting. I was just thinking myself that Disney and its cadre of pedophiles are problematic.

The three main organizations that Disney hired to set up Stories Matter are:

The African American Film Critics Association, specializing in Diversity
The GLAAD Media Institute, specializing in LGBTQ
The Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, specializing in Gender balance

Not one of them indicates anything that is geared toward children’s entertainment or growth except at the adult level. So how much of an expert group are they when they are not experts in determining the correctness of a children’s product?

Tinkerbell is also a euphemism for a faggot.

Just think, they could destigmatize that just like homosexuals now embrace the term "queer". The problem, of course, is that Tinkerbell in Peter Pan was definitely not homosexual.

Agreed. Have they nothing better to do than dissect decades old fictitious characters?
