It hasn't been brought up here but it has been elsewhere.Not sure if anyone else brought this up but the concept of the new scene doesn't make sense to me? Why are the pirates auctioning off the goods to other pirates?

If we are at the point in society that using the terms male and female are deemed offensive, it really shows that you'll never make everyone happy and someone will always be offended no matter what.
It came because why else would they change this specific scene? I'm all for plussing and making things better but there are numerous other rides that need it more than pirates.
We're getting off topic so I'll leave it at this: as a woman I don't appreciate being referred to as a "female". I am a female human, a.k.a. a woman. I don't speak for all women but I can tell you every woman I am friends with feels the same.
Just a pro tip.
To get back on topic, I'm glad Disney is keeping with Walt's vision of an ever-changing, constantly growing and improving theme park. This scene has to go. It's also fatphobic, in my opinion. Glad to see what they come up with to improve this great classic ride.

Is it like where a thread has some major clean up done and then suddenly it's a jumble of thoughts that seemingly don't make much sense??If you put some people on ignore this thread becomes HILARIOUS!

I am sure they will have a storyline. Maybe that is all that was plundered and then they bid on who gets what ( and then use the proceeds for a pizza party or something)
Of course no one, but Disney truly knows why they are removing the controversial elements. But there's only two possible reasons for the change.
either
1. P.C. hippies have forced Disney's hand
or
2. Disney decided to change it because of the negative message it portrayed

Either way, I don't like the decision. Sure, people will still keep going on the attraction. Because even with all of the changes it's still one of the best rides in the park. But where does the changes end? Will there be anything from people's childhood memories that remain? Or will it be like Universal who seems to have no loyalty.
There's so many attractions that could be changed if everything has to be totally P.C. Is Haunted Mansion going to be changed as well? It tells the story of a woman who likes to kill off her husbands for their money. A person is even shown hanging from a noose at the beginning of the attraction.
Every woman I know sees being called "female" as a huge red flag.

Ok this is purely out of curiosity. If anyone is offended by the auction scene, are they also offended by the spousal abuse allegations of Johnny Depp?
Now this I disagree with. The scene isn't outdated unless you look at it in a PC point of view. Epcot is just outdated period. Like I said before I stand by that other attractions needed to be updated and changed before pirates did.The scene is simply outdated and needed to be modernized...we scream for the VERY same at Epcot - the principle still applies. Move on.
Honestly curious about this as I have literally never heard of this. I just asked my wife and neither has she and sees being a female just what biologically she is and would have no issue
I try to be sensitive to these things and involved with some stuff at work looking at how to to have equal treatment for women (He for She, etc) but I have never heard of that being an issue
Its a thing with modern men... the use of "female" is a bit dismissive, IDK, probably the wrong word, but I see it loads, in a not positive way.
