- Disney just released five seasons of “The Muppet Show” to Disney+ and it will air with a disclaimer about “offensive content” that could cause a “harmful impact.”
- The disclaimer will be shown prior to each episode and warns of the episode containing “stereotypes” and “mistreatment of people or cultures.”
- “This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now,” the disclaimer states.
- Disney concluded the disclaimer with, “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.”
