Off Topic: Disney further sanitizing Pirates of the Caribbean

Disney has announced that they are further sanitizing their Pirates of the Caribbean attractions as to not offend anyone by having their pirates act like despicable pirates.

Sorry, I know this isn't Knott's related but I'm NOT happy about this. Why empower people who are offended by something? Anyone can be offended by anything, its the easiest thing in the world to be. You don't even have to have a reason at all for being offended, just claiming you are is enough to get attention.

Being offended is a state of mind one puts themselves in. Instead of seeking self improvement and not allowing themselves to be offended, they shit on everyone else's parade. They'll rewrite history, censor humor, and neuter great storytelling in a selfish effort to avoid dealing with THEIR problem of being offended. Won't be long before Splash Mountain is removed to avoid offending someone.

This is just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

EDIT: Gotta say, upon revisiting this I was tempted to delete it. The childish rant just seems soo cringy in hindsight but then Disney decided to replace Splash Mountain...IDK, just something about spending millions of dollars to update one of your most popular attractions in your parks to just be an equally popular attraction - when they have plenty of other unpopular attractions that need replaced or updated to ease the burden of crowding - that screams corporate virtue signaling. Thank god for Tokyo Disneyland!
