Maher criticizes Disney and liberals for sexualizing children

According to comic Bill Maher, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was correct in calling out Disney for sexualizing children, but liberals ignored the issue because it was brought up by a Republican. Maher criticized liberals for their “woke” views on children and appropriate behavior, highlighting the disturbing Max documentary, “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV”, which exposes the sexualization and abuse in kids’ television, particularly at Nickelodeon.

Maher pointed out the hypocrisy in the treatment of DeSantis, who raised concerns about Disney, similar to those at Nickelodeon. Maher also highlighted past reports of sexual crimes at Disney and the sexualization of child stars, questioning the difference between the two companies.

He criticized the tribalism that overlooks serious issues, such as child exploitation, based on political affiliations. Maher also discussed other concerning trends involving children, including drag queen story hours and parental exploitation for social media likes.

Ultimately, Maher suggested that society should take a break from cultural wars, especially when it comes to children, until important issues are addressed.
