Pirates were horrifying people but our culture has already romanticized them in such a weird way that if I had a daughter I would rather she gets to view a scene of a badass pirate lady holding her own on an iconic ride instead of a woman sex slave being sold at auction. Like I know Disney people are maybe secretly the worst when it comes to Facebook comments but it's especially crazy to me the amount of actual mothers to daughters I've seen getting mad about "political correctness" on this specific one because they might lose a four word catchphrase that will probably still exist in some capacity. Very controversial decision to move away from human trafficking, I know. As a Disney nerd, I get it, but to me that's not even the most memorable part of the ride. But maybe with the new change, that scene could be it for our kids and that's cool to me.

The ride scene so memorable that it didn't even make its way onto the movie about the ride. Please stop being wife auction scene apologists.

santanotreal posted:As opposed to the other glamorous actions of pirates? This, basically. The entire point of the ride is to glamorize a group of people whose actual lives and actions probably ought not be glamorized so much. While also being child-appropriate. Presumably Disney has something in mind for that part of the ride that will avoid the many mines associated with painting too a rosy picture of people who weren’t nearly as rosy in person. Edit: then again, when the ride was developed/opened kids still played cowboys and indians. I suspect a lot of the people associated with that time period would consider 2018 overly sensitive about a lot more than just the girl auction scene at PotC.

I just want more pirate dogs. Like, just remove every human animatronic and replicate it with various versions of that mutt with the keys at the very end. That's not a Pirates of the Caribbean thing I want them to do that to the entire park.

Removal of the bride auction is long overdue but since it's so long overdue the scene has been way funnier than the original material in a "oh poo poo I can't believe grandpa is saying that" kind of way, at least the first time through.

I’m all for the red head becoming a pirate, especially since some of the most feared pirates historically were women. I still do not understand the argument that changing it is necessary because it’s inappropriate. The entirety of the ride fits that bill, including the theme song.

Add a character actor for the red head to liven up the jack sparrow stage show outside. You can have that one for free, Disney.

I just want to ask the people saying it shouldn’t change how they would feel if it were a brown person being sold and if they see the problem now. The entire point of PotC is that it’s a comically over the top family friendly version of what real pirates were but they left in the rapey (fixed earlier) and sex trafficking bit that goes against that entire premise. The fact that real pirates were bad isn’t something anyone is arguing; a realistic portrayal of pirates is and was never the goal of the attraction.

Bottom Liner posted:I just want to ask the people saying it shouldn’t change how they would feel if it were a brown person being sold and if they see the problem now. Your second paragraph addresses the first. I don’t see a problem with the auction scene being a PoC, if the ride isn’t trying to be a comically gross misrepresentation of the period. Given the apparent intention to whitewash the less savory aspects of 18th-century piracy, any sort of human trafficking doesn’t fit. Also, rapey bits? Never noticed those when I was riding.

OK, OK. I think I get it. I think I've always looked at Disney as a kind of time capsule. Changing it feels like it's trying to rewrite history. Not the history of pirates, but the history of 1955*. I don't think of it as a living, changing place, despite the recent expansion. Like it's Colonial Williamsburg but for 50 years ago instead of 250. *MK is basically a less good C/P of Disneyland

Intellectually, I have to point out that Williamsburg probably took in a *lot* less revenue than WDW did last year. If Epcot still had all the same rides as when the park originally opened, I’m not sure it would draw nearly as many visitors as it currently does. The park needs to evolve to keep people coming, and I suppose that changing aspects within the rides is a natural part of that.

Carousel of Progress is probably the most charming ride in MK don't you dare. That said, adding another scene would be great, but I don't think circles work like that.

What we really need is a second carousel of progress that bridges the awkward jump between the 60's (or whatever it is) and modern day. Disney plz I don't care if it makes the ride an hour long

There's two Disneys: the one you went to when you were young and the one you go to now. You keep going partially because of the nostalgia from when you were younger, so it's hard when things change! I find that all of the complaints about park changes seem pretty silly when you're actually in the parks. Standing in line to meet Black Panther behind an excited kid talking about how much he loved the Guardians ride...I'm not going to interrupt and say "Tower of Terror was better!"
