We rarely hear how prudish and uptight S&P really are. The bits we do get show just how bad it gets.
I recall one bit for The Simpsons where they complained about the line "Yeah, well Bart can kiss my hairy yellow butt" as they perceived it as "potentially homosexual".
It feels like the people that run it have never gone outside.

None of this surprises ne

I'm glad even such conservative twats didn't ruin the show and many of its awesomely crude jokes.
Jesus that would be a nightmare lol. Shit like this is why I don't feel comfortable with disney having their hands in every damn IP
Standards and Practices, they're basically a division at companies to make sure things are good for television (or good for kids television) they can be... stupidly restrictive.
They're a division of the company that (in this case) scripts and likely art designs would have to be sent to before and during production to ensure the words/images aren't offensive or provocative in the slightest way. Disney being a giant "family brand' seems to be a lot more restrictive in completely ridiculous ways over things that may hurt said brand.
I'm sorry but what the fuck, Disney has the gall to be promoting this in their Pride collection this month?
S&P is a pain in the ass, I get why they exist though, lord knows how many law suits a creator could get pulled into because of some idiot. Even House of Mouse had issues with S&P. They dropped safes on censor monekies, representing the censor board,when they cut the cartoons off for being too violent. No im not kidding, Mickey out right complains they're supposed to give Donald Duck broken bones for a slapstick routine. Its in the thread.
S&P was probably too busy scrutinizing BTAS. Though Bruce Timm says what S&P said half the time helped them get more creative. Like how Dick's parent's dying was originally meant to be shown.
Wow... these notes are absurd. Good on Hirsch for sharing them, his time at Disney sounds awful.

By fighting hard, lucking out with some higher ups that approved, but then getting struck by other higher ups cutting season 3 down to three double-length episodes.
This was the first thing that came to mind, and for the unfamiliar, was notably a series flying by the seat of its pants enough that the eleventh episode was mostly about taking shots at S&P.
Well I mean, not too long ago the idea of Hawkgirl dating John Stewart's GL would have been told to not happen. A decade before Gravity falls Alex couldn't even hint at some of the stuff that they got ghe okay for on a show. Yes Disney is trying to get brownie points but a lot has changed in the last decade, so the fact that they can not worry that the "think of the children" groups will dive head first into lawsuits is at least a positive turn.
Hell I still have early Young Avengers books where reads were screaming about Billy and Teddy, and thankfully Marvel stuck to its guns on that one, but my gosh it was bad, and same thing happen when Iron fist started to date Misty. All hell broke loose on the letters page over it.
So yeah I feel for him, but also I do get the juggling act these group's need to do when it comes to this sort of stuff. Especially on the international level.

Absurd S+P censorship is nowhere near exclusive to Disney, although Disney's S+P department might be more restrictive than some others due to trying to maintain their "family friendly" image, and the homophobia seems like a betrayal because there aren't many corporations that pretend to be as woke as Disney does.
If you want to catch any live content on Disney it is even worse. Disney + is a blessing.
Fun fact. Disney got a bug up its ass and delayed a big Amphibia season finale mere hours before it aired out of nowhere leading to a major leak.
Gravity Falls scheduling was equally as bad if not worse at times.
