The anti-woke brigade was out in force today after a local newspaper in America questioned whether Prince Charming kissed Snow White “without consent”.
A new ride at California’s Disneyland called “Snow White’s Enchanted Wish” features an animatronic recreation of the fabled smooch, leading SFGate.com to question whether it remains appropriate.
The outlet’s managing editor Katie Dowd, and contributor Julie Tremaine, wrote that the kiss should be removed like other “problematic scenes from rides like Jungle Cruise and Splash Mountain’.
“Haven’t we already agreed that consent in early Disney movies is a major issue? That teaching kids that kissing, when it hasn’t been established if both parties are willing to engage, is not OK?” they wrote.
“It’s hard to understand why the Disneyland of 2021 would choose to add a scene with such old fashioned ideas of what a man is allowed to do to a woman.”
The story quickly went viral as critics and defenders seized on the review as either an example of the left-wing cancel culture mob ripping apart history.
Fox News host Todd Piro compared Prince Charming’s kiss on a poisoned Snow White to saving someone’s life with CPR, while Piers Morgan slammed the ‘exhausting woke brigade’ in his latest column.
