Reply to comment by olddicklemon72 in ‘It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ Has Become A Bee-Hive For Stupid Parent Complaints by Da_Kahuna

There are a lot of people that are refusing to view media through the lens in which it was created. The phrase “it’s wrong now, and was wrong then” appears at the start of a few Disney+ shows and while I agree with the sentiment, it’s not true. It was 100% not wrong then it was widely acceptable to use stereotypes in media.

Widely accepted and wrong are vastly different. Slavery was widely accepted but it was still morally wrong no matter what lease you view.

Morally wrong is subjective and slavery was considered morally right my many/most people of the time.

Just because you and I in 2022 believe it’s wrong doesn’t mean it was wrong to the people that lives during its time.

There been moral opposition to slavery since the Persian Empire, anyone who wasn't a wealthy land owner wasn't a fan.

I did not know that buy I also have vetted the information so I don’t know if it’s true. Slavery also has little to do with Charlie Brown or stereotypes in old media which is what my original comment was about.

Man just give up, you’re not gonna convince anyone they slavery wasn’t wrong.

Somewhere some film major made a big project out of the hidden allegory and metaphors in Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin both.
