Addition to "Sexism" subsection

Good evening, For my final project, I will be adding some edits dealing with the controversy of feminism that is present within the Disney Princesses into the Sexism section of this article. I will be posting these edits with correct citations later this week. Cpara2 (talk) 03:06, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

You know these films are faithful to the source materials, historically well contextualized and made in a time it was more easy respect source material without people with a certain social-political agenda and narrative and without sense of context to oppose it, right? It is also useless the add because an entire section is present below the introduction. Leyla Aisha (talk) 02:47, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Personal agenda and narrative, false information, slander/defamation and statements, witnesses, confutations/rebuttals and proofs removed.

Section created by a now blocked sock.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 21:46, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

I believe a user or more (don't want to mention anyone) removed a lot of important/crucial content (too much), statements, sources, confutations/rebuttals and proofs and spreading false informations and slanders/defamation to push/force an agenda and narrative.

I'm afraid you'll need to be more specific. But you should understand that the purpose of this article is not to debate the criticisms with "rebuttals" and "proofs", only to report what the criticisms have been. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 03:37, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Neal Gabler's statements with sources, Floyd Norman's one about Walt's "exemplary behavior and not at all noticed racist behavior of which Disney was accused after his death" statement (this latter has stated also that the approach to the Reconstruction era in Song Of The South wasn't "idealized", but simply naive), the fact that it was only SPECULATED that Disney was racist, the crows as outcast who sympathize and relate to Dumbo's plight as also them are ostracized outcasts (and how can they be poor if they are animals and uneducated if they are proven more than once to be the most smart and intelligent characters in "Dumbo"?), Sunflower is not the half-zebra and half-human Centaurette, but maybe this latter was due just for a little ignorance, the studios' anti-Nazi/Hitler propaganda, the statement from Neal Gabler that Walt Disney wasn't racist, never declared or stated either privately or publicly racial superiority or supremacy comments along with hatred ones, but just racially insensitive, the examples of more exaggerated stereotypical gags from other studios and Robert Clampett's statement, Joe Grant's "Book of Leviticus" statement, the fact that the studio hired employees of many races and ethnicities with examples (visible partially also in the 1941 film "The Reluctant Dragon"), and the Native Americans in "Peter Pan" are not Native Americans, but natives of Neverland and their depiction was inspired not only by original J. M. Barrie's work and the Victorian-Edwardian-era's imagery of the "Indians of America", but their comical appearance (coherent with the rest of the animated film) was inspired by European comic books born before the release of the film and still existing today even in cartoons forms (Lucky Luke/The Daltons, Tin Tin, Asterix & Obelix:The Great Crossing/Asterix Conquers America), Leyla Aisha (talk) 04:00, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

The article doesn't say that Walt Disney was racist. It says that people have accused him of racism. That fact doesn't require "rebuttal" because it is true that this accusation has been made. It is not the purpose of Wikipedia to provide a forum to debate those accusations. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 05:21, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Maybe I've not read it well, but the rest is true, a very big amount of informations have been cancelled or modified in a way that doesn't seem neutral, no offense. How can be explained this? Last time I saw this article a few months ago there were a lot of informations. Leyla Aisha (talk) 05:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

It is explained by people removing material that doesn't belong here. The title of this article is "Criticism of The Walt Disney Company". It is not "Criticism of The Walt Disney Company and Excuses for Why We Shouldn't Blame Walt Because Racism was More Normal Back Then". -Jason A. Quest (talk) 13:03, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
