None whatsoever.

Who can actually live their lives being so offended by things?
I’m not sure if it’s really a majority of American people who want all of these PC changes, or a select few who happen to currently run our nation

This isn't cancel culture
It's a publisher self-acknowledging that certain work is offensive & racist and choosing on their own to remove it. There are reasons for changing offensive material other than "being canceled".I'm not sure what else to call it...lol
To be fair, Fox News called it "being cancelled" twenty-two times in one segment. That's enough for some folks to believe it.It's a publisher self-acknowledging that certain work is offensive & racist and choosing on their own to remove it.

I honestly don't get why people think we need to rip out the entire land. They stopped selling 6 books and I believe 3 are featured in the land? However, I don't think there is anything in the land that could be viewed as controversial?
No one thinks that, at least no one worth listening to. None of the problematic elements are in the land, and the racism of his past work was well known to all prior to the land being builtI honestly don't get why people think we need to rip out the entire land.

OK let's take care of two things here:
Here the images from the removed books:

I don't think anyone would argue that they are extremely out-of-date characterizations about 2 different races. The publication made the decision to pull the books - without any public pressure. I'll be honest that I certainly am no fan of today's cancel culture... but this ain't it and certainly doesn't fall under that classification. If you don't think the 2 images are problematic, then may I suggest a different forum? The books will probably return with alterations in the future. It's not an easy decision because the books are "classics" so do you tamper and edit a deceased person's work, or remove and move on.
As far as the UPNT article, its headline is a bit sensationalized and pulled from Spectrum 13's reporting:
It clearly states “We’ve removed the books from our shelves as they have asked and we’ll be evaluating our in-park experience too. But our guests can plan on continuing to be able to enjoy their favorite experiences at Seuss Landing.”
AKA The generic PR response. If anything, since Seuss is pulling off licensing too, there may be some legal thing with the If I Ran the Zoo name so that covers Universal's butt.
In the meantime, we've let the thread go - but a few responses as of late are pushing it. With that.... watch that.
I’m assuming this has no credibility?
Their business motto is..."Click, click. Ka Ching Ka Ching. "I don't look at any of this an see "Universal is closing Suess Landing soon"...UPN needs to take a big ole chill pill
It just agitates me that they think they need to come up with a false headlineTheir business motto is..."Click, click. Ka Ching Ka Ching. "
We all do :ugh:Internet gonna Internet :shrug:.
Still want that Mt. Crumpit ride.
