Yea, he made the joke years ago but look at the comments. Plenty of people still view it as a reach.

First comment that popped up for me.

 
I get what they were ATTEMPTING to say but it is very #LowIQ to think this would have gotten over positively.

 
:rofl: they really cancelled a cartoon character
Like... son really won't be able to land roles now.
And yes, his actions in those old cartoons were mad creepy. Hyperaggressive romantic activity. Not rapey tho. That's taking it too far.
Quagmire is a more troubling character imo.
 
Disneyland’s revamped Snow White ride is facing backlash over Snow White and Prince Charming’s kiss while she’s asleep.

The classic Disney story goes like this: Snow White is poisoned by an evil queen and falls into a comatose state. That is, until Prince Charming’s “true love’s kiss” breaks the spell, and they live happily ever after.

SFGATE’s managing editor, Katie Dowd, and reporter, Julie Tremaine wrote an article explaining while the ride itself is “really good,” the famous kiss is problematic.

Dowd and Tremaine argue Prince Charming is shown kissing Snow White without her consent and it “cannot possibly” be true love.

“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,” Dowd and Tremaine wrote in the article.

The criticism follows changes to other Disney Park rides deemed offensive and racist. Splash Mountain will be replaced with a ride featuring “The Princess and the Frog,” a 2009 animated film featuring Tiana, the studio’s first Black princess. Last June, Splash Mountain’s storyline was adapted from the 1946 movie, “Song of the South,” which was found to have racist undertones.

Seth Rogen says he doesn't plan to work with James Franco again

Last month, Charlyne Yi called out Seth Rogen on Instagram saying that she raised concerns to Rogen after he continued to work with James Franco on The Disaster Artist even though multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct. But her efforts were futile—Rogen instead allegedly bribed her with a larger part in the film so she wouldn’t quit. “They minimized and said Franco being a predator was so last year, and that he changed…when I literally heard of him abusing new women that week,” Yi wrote. Rogen hadn’t responded to Yi’s accusations, but in an interview with The Sunday Times, he broke his silence on Yi’s statement.

When writer Decca Aitkenhead asked point blank if Rogen agreed that he had enabled Franco, he responded saying, “What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that.” He also addressed the joke he made on SNL in 2014 after Franco had propositioned a minor on Instagram. During his opening monologue, he said that he had “pranked” Franco by pretending to be a teenage girl and his Pineapple Express co-star seemed “unfazed” by the age.

“I do look back at a joke I made on Saturday Night Live in 2014 and I very much regret making that joke. It was a terrible joke, honestly. And I also look back to that interview in 2018 where I comment that I would keep working with James, and the truth is that I have not and I do not plan to right now,” admitted Rogen. He also confirmed that it’s no coincidence the pair—who’ve worked on numerous projects together since meeting on the Freaks And Geeks set in 1999—haven’t collaborated in years.

Hmm does "it's a f*cling cartoon" also apply to all the blatantly racist cartoons put out back then? Because I see the same people who found that problematic not having a problem with sexist cartoons in here.
