I just don't understand who any of this is for, whether it's heavy handed or done tactfully.
More than ever we, as a culture, talk about pieces of art that "didn't age well" (for an ever-widening list of reasons) and critically examine the meta aspects of things that were never made to be deeply analyzed. That's what we do for fun in 2020. Go on YouTube and type in your favorite IP and you can watch a 60 minute video essay dissecting every tiny piece of it.
There's no need for training wheels when we're already riding the bike. I guess you could make a decent case for these messages before outdated kids movies because they don't have world experience yet, but that assumes they can even read.
So the obvious answer is, this is simply being done to appease the far left. As usual. So they can pat themselves on the back and think they've taken another step in making the world a utopia.
But here's the thing: isn't the world made better when people realize for themselves when something they see is outdated or racist or sexist? Shouldn't people learn to understand that themselves, so that they view not only the piece of content through that lens, but the outside world too?
