“We live in a world where there is a warning before the film Aladdin ????♂️” the 49-year-old man simply wrote on Facebook, triggering a debate in the comments under his publication.
Among the hundreds of Internet users who commented on the “light” status, several see no problem with the warnings before the films, some are outraged, others wonder why a 49 year old man watches Aladdin or even, what warning is there does he act?
On Disney+, if we click on the details of the film Aladdin, a children’s classic released in 1992, we can find this text:
“Content Notice:

Rather than removing this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful consequences and encourage conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”
Faced with the quantity of comments that flooded under his publication, the man in charge of Bye Bye wrote: “I swear everyone, I don’t even try to write controversial posts, in fact, I actively try not to anymore, but it seems like it follows me in spite of myself…”
