Disney pulls "Simpsons" episode that mentions Chinese forced labor camps
Disney, ever eager to avoid any confrontation with the Chinese Communist government, cut an episode of The Simpsons from Disney Plus streaming platform in Hong Kong that referenced "forced labor camps" in China.
The episode, titled "One Angry Lisa," aired in October 2022 and showed the instructor of Marge Simpson's virtual bike class state, "Behold the wonders of China. Bitcoin mines, forced labor camps where children make smartphones." Another episode of the show that broadcast in 2005 mentioned the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the Chinese government's efforts to suppress knowledge of it; it was cut in 2021.
Yes, the old Uighur concentration camps conspiracy theory.
Except it's not a conspiracy theory.
Here, I found a left-wing article to explain:
These camps are much more like prisons than so-called boarding schools. A 2018 report by Agence France-Presse described camps in which thousands of guards carry spiked clubs, tear gas, and stun guns to surveil detainees, who are held in buildings surrounded by razor wire and infrared cameras. AFP journalists also reviewed public documents showing that government agencies overseeing the camps purchased 2,768 police batons, 550 electric cattle prods, 1,367 pairs of handcuffs, and 2,792 cans of pepper spray.
So let's face it: Disney is out here working their magic in China to make sure nobody is exposed to the truth — even when it comes in the form of a Simpsons joke.
Anything that goes against the Chinese Communist Party is just not what Disney is about. They're about money, and when you call out the CCP you don't make money in the Chinese market.
hire more managers to manage the managers
Disney getting rid of deadweight like the blue hairs working non-value added jobs is a step in the right direction.
Seems like Amazon, Google, and Facebook already are doing the same.
Higher interest rates means no more easy money, and going on hiring binges to hire more managers to manage the managers.

Would this be blackwashing?
It's not a problem that Disney is doing this, the problem is that I suspect government money is being given to Disney to do this.

If they are being paid by some sort of NGO or other government corruption, and I strongly suspect they are - the COVID bailout was one method, that's corruption.

I've met Rich several times and he's no glowie.
As if meeting somebody can prove or disprove such a thing. These people are well-versed in deception.
