Honestly **** twitter. It’s **** like that that makes the website so toxic. It is completely FILLED with whiny SJW’s who feel self entitled to everything.

it’s people who look like THIS that make those stupid complaints:

There might be one episode pulled because of someone’s child pornography arrest.

Anyone want to place bets on which episode causes Twitter/social media uproar and gets pulled from Disney+? Since it'll be widely accessible for the first time in about 20 years, there's bound to be some sort of minor backlash. My guess is (if it happens) it'll be the Johnny Cash one since he performs behind a Confederate flag. Have to wonder if they'll have edited that out beforehand.
I've had this in my head too. At the very least, they'll probably put some kind of disclaimer on the episodes with decidedly unfortunate aspects (like the entire closing of the James Coburn episode).

I'm gonna act like every post on social media with some sort of complaint is 100% valid, but c'mon man.

Some are valid, sure, other times it’s just like “okay, whatever.”

In the end I get some things didn’t age well, but instead of erasing history, why not do what Warner has done with their old looney tunes cartoons and put up disclaimers?

Totally forgot about that guy and his episode. Pretty odd coincidence that all the episodes me, you, and OscarFan mentioned that could ruffle some feathers are from season 5.

Look, as much of a "product of their time" some of these episodes might be, I don't expect people on Twitter to get worked up over the freakin' Muppets.

Hard to tell with current social media culture. Of course, any minor backlash an episode or two receives will be countered by the fact that so many people will get to watch and enjoy the show for the first time.
