Before:
“This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. 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 is committed to creating stories with inspirational and aspirational themes that reflect the rich diversity of the human experience around the globe.”
After:
“This program is presented as originally created and may contain stereotypes or negative depictions.”
Why does it matter if they “mean” it? The point is to help people avoid topics that are sensitive to them. Who cares if they meant it or not. Whatever that means.
It actually never occurred to me that those messages would be useful to anyone… but the shorter phrasing they reverted to is less patronizing anyways, and I always appreciate that
