Couldn't they just show trigger warnings for controversial content? Disney does this with old classics[1]. This is historical animation, I think it's worth show

Couldn't they just show trigger warnings for controversial content? Disney does this with old classics[1]. This is historical animation, I think it's worth showing an accurate snapshot of the past. [1]: https://imgur.com/dkMC6gd https://imgur.com/dkMC6gd

Couldn't they just show trigger warnings Or people could just grow up and realize that you can't judge people who lived a hundred years ago by today's standards. Imagine what ordinary things you do every day that people a hundred years from now will consider a social crime and want you banned or cancelled for.

  I completely agree, but some parents might not want their kids to watch old stuff. A content advisory is a good middle ground, since it doesn't censor the past while giving the streaming service a free pass.

    Or parents could pay more attention to what their children are watching. Just like when all we had was antenna TVs.

      Parents prefer streaming services that don't expect them to watch kids shows in advance to make casw by case decision which boring show is ok or not. Like antenna TV programming used to be - guaranteed to be inoffesive so you don't have to watch crap kids like to watch.

        Just flag those episodes so they don't show on kids profiles, and add the warning anyway for when the parents are on their own profiles.

  I reckon part of the reasoning is that they don’t want to make it too easy for these “controversial” bits to percolate to youtube. Of course they are already out there, but you have to know where to look; making them easy to find would empower too many random streamers to recycle it for shock value. It’s the inevitable tension between Warner’s will to forever use this art for outright commercial purposes (i.e. sell T&J to kids) and the simple wish of academics and passionate consumers to just enjoy the art for what it is.

    They (Warner) actively remove content from Youtube but for some reason no one ever removes anything from Dailymotion. This is one of the "Censored 11" cartoons: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6q8qen https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6q8qen
