They’re not. But I doubt anyone had an issue with it until recently. It’s a slippery slope. Give an inch, they’ll demand a yard. Somebody is going to have a cow over the headhunters on the Jungle Cruise ride if they haven’t already.

If there’s a Jabba’s palace section in the forthcoming Star Wars land, forget about any slave girls.

Mostly this.

I think it’s fine to update rides to suit modern tastes but I worry about that slippery slope.

There is a new kind of Puritanism behind these changes. It’s amazing what was permitted in children’s entertainment 40/50 years ago. There was a Muppet Show sketch/song where a pregnant Miss Piggy in a wedding dress was left standing at the church by her already married boyfriend, played by Kermit. I guess our society was more broad-minded in those days!
