If it was possible to magnetize the body of Walt Disney and wrap a copper coil around his coffin you could hook it all up to the grid and power half of Los Angeles. His company has for a long time now been run by Communists, homosexuals, and other varieties of Hell’s acolytes. They are most attracted to infest places where there is good and where the most damage can be done, whether it’s churches, schools, the courts, etc.
They’ve decided that “God” is a dirty word. I guess I’m just too stupid to understand how right they are. Could you try explaining it again?
It is not just this, Heather has 2 Moms is a Disney Channel show for our kids or grand kids to watch.
There is also a show about 5 wives, don’t remember which channel will carry that one.
When we lived in SoCal, we knew a number of people who worked at various Disney enterprises. Some LOVED their jobs. Others referred to the whole conglomeration as Mouschwitz.
Disney, as a company, has an obligation to its shareholders to maximize its income. To do that, most business should be as apolitical and non-religious as possible. Remember the three things best not brought up in polite conversation? Here’s two of them.
I think Disney does a reasonable job of both.
Take gay days. Disney does not sponsor that event and goes out of its way to “ignore” that it exists. Of course they don’t mind 150,000 visitors during that week. But, duh! That’s the first week after school lets out, and Disney probably loses the same number of visitors that avoid that week as a result: it’s a busy week at Disney no matter what. Disney has no particular need or desire to alienate the gays or non-gays and so, pointedly ignores the event - an event organized and carried off by a local travel agency.
Not only that, but most of the touring plans, many semi-sponsored by Disney, give advice specifically on how to visit during gay days without being bothered by the event: event organizers announce which park the event will visit each day. Tour on a different park schedule and you’ll by and large never know the event is there.
The complaint in this story is a non-story. The block likely was an attempt to block profanity. Even God points out, as a commandment, not to use His name in that way.
AFAIK, Disney does not do any official endorsement of the homosexual celebration.....it is an event that is organized by groups that want to gather on ccertain days.
Disney does, I believe, work with Christian groups to create “Night of Joy” where believers are welcome. Of course they do it for profit, but it still is nice.
Disney is weird. They do Night of Joy, but then their TV division has kids shows with lesbian couples:
Disney claims that they have computer generated censoring of profanity. When the word “God” was used on the website, it associated it with”God damn” or other profane words that are used with “God”. They did not ban the little girl, a red pop up came on her screen asking her to be “nice”.
Because they don’t or can’t implement a more complex filter looking for context, they treat God as a cuss word.
My guess is that “the Lord” would have worked okay.
A “nicer” approach when their parser is not up to the task of determining context would be e.g. to put up a button saying “I am not swearing” and when it is hit, the message goes to a moderator for a check.
If you block/deny God, then He does not exist and homosexuals are not sinners.
That’s what I thought too.
They didn’t block “God damn.” They blocked “God.” The computer didn’t program itself.
If there are sins against “evolution,” this is one of the more prominent candidates
People could say things like “God, what a load of malarkey” and it would be beyond many parsers to interpret.
Nothing and no one was blocked. There was a pop up that came to the user (little girl) asking them to “be nice.” The mother was complaining on Fox this morning that she didn’t want her child to think using the word God, wasn’t nice. Disney explained it was their attempt to monitor what could be profane language. It was a stupid story, shouldn’t have been on national tv, the family got their fifteen minutes of fame and probably a free one day pass to a Disney park.
What do they do when someone posts something which actually is profane, without using any of the preprogrammed “profane” words, like “God” and “Jesus?” What if a pedophile makes sexually explicit comments, without using any “profane” words?
If they’re willing to risk comments like that being posted, and then presumably deleted by management, why can’t they risk the possibility of a child saying they are thankful for God on a thread where Disney asks them to say what they’re thankful for?
The problem here isn’t that they block profanity. The problem is that they identify God as profane.
Where did you get your information about the post not being blocked? AFAIK the post was blocked, in addition to the popup telling the girl to be nice.
Whoever built the system will have to answer a 3rd degree cross examination to get your questions answered.
You know, I really was just trying to explain the response from Disney and what could have happened other than an assault on God. I love my Lord, as you do, and if someone at Disney wanted to ban the use of God, then it is on their soul. I still think it was a non story and Fox looked ridiculous.
