Disney Accused of Pushing Explicit Agenda After Adding “Grindr” Joke To Show

Earlier this week, Disney made history when they invited their most controversial character, Deadpool, to Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort. Deadpool’s presence at Disneyland Resort is like no other character’s experience in the park, and fans have lots of opposing opinions on the character’s new attraction.

As the irreverent and witty anti-hero from the Marvel universe, Deadpool’s storytime brings a unique and edgy vibe to the family-friendly environment of Disneyland. Disney Park Guests have the opportunity to interact with Deadpool in a way that is both entertaining and slightly unpredictable, making for an unforgettable experience.

However, some fans question how far it is to go when it comes to Deadpool’s dark jokes and r-rates subject matter. In a recent viral clip, Deadpool mentions Grindr, an LGBTQ+ dating app. Many people felt that this subject, while comical, may have been too controversial for a setting like Disneyland Resort.

Deadpool Storytime Brings Controversy

Known for his offbeat humor and unconventional approach, Deadpool’s storytime sessions are not like your typical Disney fairy tales. Instead, guests are treated to hilarious and envelope-pushing stories that are part comedy, part adventure, and always full of surprises. It’s a chance for visitors to see a different side of storytelling at the park and provides a fresh take on classic narratives.

Moreover, Deadpool’s presence at Disneyland Resort is part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe integration into the Disney parks. With the introduction of Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park, guests can immerse themselves in the world of Marvel superheroes, including interactions with characters like Deadpool and his new partner, Wolverine. This seamless blending of the Marvel universe with the magic of Disney creates a dynamic and thrilling experience for fans of all ages.

However, not all of the jokes from this new show have been well received by guests. Last week, some fans were shocked by a joke about the closure of Splash Mountain. Now, it’s a Grindr joke that has the internet in shambles.

Is This Joke Appropriate for Kids?

In a now-viral post made by user @Finding_denny on Instagram, Deadpool can be seen telling guests a joke about Grindr. Grindr is a gay dating app that commonly has a less-than-positive reputation.

While many guests defended the joke and said it was harmless, others found it extremely unsettling for the venue. Comments call out the writing, saying:

“I very much support inclusivity and believe we need more representation, but THIS is unacceptable. Grindr is literally just a sex app and honestly dangerous in and of itself”

As the days go by and more and more jokes are added to this show, it has become clear that this show’s writers are not afraid to push the boundaries of what is acceptable in a theme park. Overall, Deadpool’s presence at Disneyland Resort adds a touch of irreverent fun and excitement to the park.

From his unconventional storytelling sessions to his energetic dance parties, Deadpool brings a unique and entertaining element to the Disney experience. Guests can look forward to encountering the Merc with a Mouth in unexpected ways, making their visit to Disneyland Resort truly unforgettable.
