Encanto is excellent, though maybe you disliked how sexually explicit it was, what with showing not one, not two, but three couples having (obviously, by their animation) biological children.

This begs the question, why do some care?
Why do some people care or even feel offended if others prefer not to watch certain content in movies and entertainment?

I think that is the relevant question here. It seems rather strange to me.

Remember when Disney was focused around Mickey, Minnie, Donald, & Pluto?

And that was a cash cow. There are hundreds of thousands of babies every single day. Those are potential customers. My kids absolutely loved Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and all of the versions involving those characters. Families are yearning for wholesome content. Disney used to fill that void.

It didnt happen overnight, they didnt force anyone to watch movies or TV shows that depicted them in positive ways...it was done very SLOWLY and Subtlety, and eventually over time, opinions change.



We can literally look back in recent history and watch opinions change on these things! I can name numerous popular movies, TV shows in the 70s that depicted homosexuality in negative ways...but you wont see that today!


This is how public opinion changes over time on these topics, its a slow and subtle process.


Ive brought this up before, that the same thing is being done with the kiddies now, I see it in many movies and TV shows, just like the past, its not bold and direct, it takes many many years to change public opinion, but I do think within 20 yrs, public opinion will have changed in regards to kids, we are seeing the first stages of it right now and naturally, people do not like it, and try to resist it...the same thing happened when they sought to change opinions on homosexuality and interracial, its the same exact thing!

I'm not offended.

Care? Only as much as people care about people who hold any prejudice. Trying to find out why.

Wasnt going to see it anyway.

That is preferable to making out with Jar Jar Binks.

In 20 years it will be "Normal World". They are pushing for every deviancy to become normalized and accepted.

30 years from now, Disney will make a Science Fiction film called, "Moral World", but nobody in the audience will believe it because the idea of morally pure people will seem so far-fetched. "Nobody could ever be that good," they will say.

We are a looong way from the Boy Scout creed.

"On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight."

Honor? Duty" God? Morally straight" Pffffttttmmmuuuahhh guffah. Not these woke days.

What people really want to say is that you have to watch degenerate stuff snuck in movies, whether you like it or not.

That is what you get reading between the lines.
