A live-action Disney film that did not age well · 5:27am May 8th, 2021
I have never heard of Blank Check until now. Thanks to Drew Gooden's video, I found out how fucked up the storyline is. What's even more fucked up is the kissing scene between an 11-year-old boy and a 30-year-old woman. That is straight-up pedophilia! I know that this is from the 90s, but how the hell did this slip through the cracks??!!
Disney dropped the Love, Simon spinoff series Love, Victor because the storyline about a teen struggling with his sexual orientation is "inappropriate for children", yet allowed Blank Check to be viewed on Disney+. Wow, that is downright adding insult to injury. I'm not surprised that Disney is a homophobic and ridiculously hypocritical corporate giant.
I'm totally fine with Disney+ not available in my country and I won't be subscribing to their service anytime soon.
Disney does seem to be having a bit of an internal scuffle over their image at the moment (see the firing of Gina Carano for another example of this).

Reminds me of when ABC fired Roseanne Barr in 2018 over a racist tweet, resulting in her show getting cancelled.

That must've been hard on her fans.
