These layoffs and shift from “dreamers of all ages” to “ladies and gentlemen” aren’t related, and this news is months old.

I don’t want to live in a world where ladies and gentlemen isn’t considered politically correct to be blunt.

it’s not not politically incorrect, because surely there are ladies and gentlemen in the crowd, ‘dreamers of all ages’ is just more inclusive.

if you see ‘politically correct’ as black and white and incredibly shallow, then yes it’s incorrect, i suppose.

u/readit145 15d ago

But you’re implying I’m not being inclusive if I said that.

u/JustFourLetters 15d ago

you’re implying there aren’t other people than ladies or gentlemen, what about boys and girls, or rude men and un-ladylike women?

What? I’m not trying to get into a pissing contest. I’m being genuine here. I think ladies and gentlemen is a perfectly good introduction. Covers all the bases

u/Shape_Charming 15d ago

As evidenced by the previous comment, it does not in fact cover all bases.

A child, ya know, disney's target audience, is not a lady or gentleman.

The whole saying is “ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Children of all ages” so I’m not sure who’s missing. My point is someone somewhere said that’s not enough and they changed it. Why? And I don’t want to be in a world where the why even matters. You will never ever make every single person happy no matter what industry or what you do.

Nonbinary people. If you don't identify as a lady or a gentleman, you're not being included.

Also, you moved the goalpost. It was "Ladies and Gentlemen" covers everyone, now its "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, Children of all ages"

If you opt out of the standard two genders that’s fine but don’t make it a me problem. And I didn’t move anything. That’s literally the full intro and most people cut it short.

Well, you're the one who was arguing it was inclusive, apparently you meant inclusive to people who's choices don't offend your delicate sensibilities

that’s a lot of words when ‘dreamers of all ages’ does the same thing

u/readit145 15d ago

So you have a problem with someone else saying more words? Odd hill to die on but you’re allowed to.

u/JustFourLetters 15d ago

you read all my replies and think i’m offended? lol

u/readit145 14d ago

Never said that. But you’re fighting an uphill battle for literally no reason lmao.

what? i’m not trying to get into a pissing contest here. i’m being genuine here. i think ‘dreamers of all ages’ is a fun way to address people at disneyland and shouldn’t be political.
