The Pooh one annoys me. The kid was punching the man, and he just accidentally smacked her with the ear while spinning around. I really don’t blame the kid, I blame the parents, who took a minor incident way out of proportion. Hope the kid and the guy in Pooh is doing ok now
Ugh, I was just about to comment on the same thing. while I do not blame the child, I think it was karma was hitting her back. Then when the entitled attention-seeking parents decided to bring this non-issue to court, they get NOTHING but embarrassment which is sweet. 😌 I am also passionate about costume characters, so it boils my blood when kids and/or adults disrespect preformers.
Yeah I was about to say the parents were witnessing this yet they didn't do anything to stop her from hitting a person but they only got involved when she got hurt by accident. Honestly they sound like trashy parents who let their kids get away with bad behaviour. But as soon as the kids experience consequences for their bad behaviour, they are the first to cry about it. And if the parents were that trashy, I completely understand why the child would think it's acceptable to hit a person in the first place.
@@B0BBYJ4CK I don't blame the child because I don't think the child knew any better. I think she had been allowed to get away with doing whatever she wanted her entire life and she probably thought it was ok to hit people for fun because her parents obviously did nothing about it until it affected her and therefore them.
Probably not since it would traumatize kids (and Disney is very protective about the image of their characters, especially Mickey, who is the main mascot of the company and brand).
As someone who has (and will in the future) worked as a character preformer, I can say that character performers already have it tough. I can only speak for myself when it comes to preforming. I never TRY to "ignore children". I get to the ones that are interacting with me and try to give everyone a fair chance. There will be times where I don't see certain people. Back when I worked at Six Flags as Sylvester The Cat, I frequently disappointed guests because we HAD RULES during our outings. We were out for 30 minutes and back in for 30 minute breaks. Sometiems adults would get mad as us cuz we had to stay on schedule AND EVEN SAY: "Oh you let that child take a picture with you, but we can't?" We've been cursed at for JUST following the rules the company has, and it REALLY irritates me when people assume the performers are terrible people because they didn't acknowledge ONE CHILD. Hey, maybe the actor is tired, thirsty, or worn out from being in that suit all day? And I'm not saying it's right to ignore a kid nor to be racist, but why are we so quick to call it racism WHEN WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE ACTOR LOOKS LIKE %99.9 OF THE TIME?! And we need to stop enabling greedy people for falsy accusing others for money! I'm black and I've been accused of being biased!!! We need to stop taking things at face-value and THINK. PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES AND TRY TO SEE IT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, PLEASE!! (This isn't towards the creator of the video but to people in general)
I worked as a costume character at Six Flags as well, and people claiming racism was a HUDGE problem for us too. It was really bad especially during Trick or Treat trail. If we closed the trail and it just happened to be on a black family, the mother would instantly pull the race card!
Sorry you have to go through that on the job. Maybe costumed performers need to go on strike the next time a Karen tries to ruin a performers career for money. That way the other customers can feel more motivated to hold these jerks accountable so that Karens can become more hesitant to act up again.
I'd argue the Disney ones were a case of not being able to see it but the Sesame Place mascots were shown treating multiple colored children differently than their white peers, and a long history of it too
IKR? It seems nowadays, parents can't do their jobs as parents as they see just about anything as a free babysitter, be it the internet, TV, or even mascots.
its terrifying when you're wearing a big costume and can feel people messing with you, but cant see them. I worked at a restaurant that paid me extra to put on a big chicken suit and go around the downtown. And the whole time there were teens following me and pulling on the head piece and the tail. its such a trapped feeling
The one involving Ariel was really disturbing, as the culprit was a sex offender, yet, he actually managed to get into DisneyWorld, despite the park banning such people from attending.
To be fair though, that's a useless clause anyway. You can't check every guest's background and even if you could it would hardly tell you anything. A "registered sex offender" in the US can be anyone from someone who peed outside since there were no public toilets available down to a serial r*pist. Predictive Policing also isn't a real thing so even if someone had groped someone in the past that tells you hardly anything about whether they're going to do it again. Someone without a previous conviction is almost just as likely to do so, if they have the respective mindsets. Criminal Records are but a tool of repression. They do not prevent crime from happening nor should they be the basis of any decision about an individual's future.
But how can they police that? You don’t need to show a social security number to buy a ticket - how would you even know? Pull aside the ones that LOOK like offenders? Truth is there’s no way to stop them until you see them inside doing something inappropriate.
Disney can ban people yes, but they do not know how to identify registered offenders at the park gates or ticket booth. I would know I used to work there at Magic Kingdom. And it’s the complete opposite, many offenders work for Disney and get away with such actions. I remember there was a women who had carried a baby from her rapist while at animal kingdom and Disney let him continue working there.
I feel so bad for the Minnie one, I remember someone playing Minnie in Goofys Diner that was chilling with me because she thought I was alone at the table when my family just went to use the restroom real quick, offered me a hug and everything. Whoever they were, they were so sweet and made my day
I think the "racist" Rapunzel is actually just a miss understanding. You can see she was already with a group of kids when the grandmother starts shouting, personally I wouldn't have answered her if i was the characters. Since the cast members also have to stay in character there's not much they can do about rude guests other than just ignore them.
I'm sorry but that didn't look like a punch. It seems Tigger was getting off balance so he just did like what we all do, grab something in our surroundings to break a fall.
That DID look accidental and like he was trying to help but don’t forget he was the same guy who was in the goofy costume, who was accused of touching a woman’s breast. And pushing other employees. They were claimed as other stories, as he was "just looking at the girls pins" and the push thing was an "accident". There were stories to them that proved there were different stories, but that sure is a few accidents involving other people…. And physical touch… but you’re right, those other stories could be true and it could’ve been an accident.
@@existential_horror5045 If its 0.06 of one cent then yes its less than 1. But he failed to clarify it which makes it look like 6 cents. 0.06 is 6 cents in a dollar
Two things, I remember seeing on Reddit someone who works for Disney talk about a time they broke character because of racism. He played Donald Duck and apparently some mom who was upset with him because he kept ignoring her son because of the color of his skin. He then turns to the lady and then pulls his sleeve down to reveal that he’s also African-American. He left the mom speechless. Another incident that you left out of the video was this one time a lady had it appropriately touched Gaston and then he broke character and told her to “get out”
So black peopke can be just as racist and hateful against they own people. Remember slavery when slaves was there to beat other slave for master it called boot licking and it still go on today. I see why crt need to be taught in college. Not all skin folks or kin folks. Colonizer would kidnap native people to try and get them to betray their tribe in infiltrate it. Those so called blk leaders white people say are blk leaders in the blk community is a lie because blk people don’t see them as their leaders or they spoke person at all especially the young blk people. Random as a blk person who is their community leader and you see what I am talking about. The real leaders that really try and do something that will not hurt the community are alway killed off by the government period because they view it as a threat. Look up red summer 1919 I bet you didn’t know about that in America history.
As a black person I get so angry hearing about these cases of characters being “Racist”. What’s really happening in most cases of this is that the character didn’t see them or they’re taking their time interacting with other children before getting to the next bunch of kids. Incidents like these are why I kind of wish people would get kicked from the parks for trying to cause trouble just to play victim for the media. Though I know doing that would make it worse.
I agree. The community throws out the word “racist” too easily these days, and it makes it harder for those of us who actually face racism to be taken seriously. I think anyone who makes a false claim or a claim without proof should face repercussions of sorts because these kinds of things can ruin peoples lives, and it’s just not right.
Not only that but characters are on a schedule and need breaks. They should have the luxury of being able to go backstage without being called racist for not having all day to entertain every single person. That would be an extreme amount of work to get to every single guest.
Exactly. Like, what range of view do the costume characters have? If it was like Cinderella or something, then I’d be more inclined to believe them because unless the actual person has peripheral vision issues, then I don’t think they’d have an excuse. Edit to add: Saw the last incident and I’m pretty sure that lady is just trying to go on break considering she doesn’t seem to be stopping for anyone else beyond a wave or a handshake.
Not so fun fact about the Ariel story, a lot of the Disney parks have had to change the Disney princess’ costumes to protect the workers from sexual assault. The main ones are Ariel and Jasmine, but I’ve also seen altered versions of Tiana, Mulan and Belle :(
It's so wild that no matter where. People forget a costume doesn't equal consent. Whether it's a theme park, or a convention. People just see a character they like and forget there's an actual human behind that character
I think ppl see them as an object of their fantasies or toys to manipulate rather than humans playing a part for their entertainment.... Also, thanks to the person who pointed out the Tarzan situation as well. No one deserves to be treated as objects and we really need to start trying to see through each other's eyes and treat ppl how we'd like to be treated!
@@eminempreg Love that Gaston actor in the video where a woman gropes his chest, and he demands that she leaves until she actually does (still clearly thinking she did nothing wrong, entitlement at its fullest). He handled it very well
Some family tries to sue for 50,000 because a costume slapped their daughter Operational health safety fines Disney 6000 for an actual death at the park
I’ve worked as a costumed mascot character and a costumed face character, though not at Disney. I’ve done it for sports teams, for a Six Flags Amusement park in California, and a Cedar Fair park not far from my newest home. Unfortunately I and my coworkers have had to endure all kinds of bs from event and venue guests, from being physically assaulted, “inappropriately touched”, even had stuff thrown at us. We’ve even been accused of “favoritism”, and one of my coworkers while in a mascot costume even accidentally stepped on a guests foot, and was nearly fired.
Interesting that the lawyer for the Tigger case once wore the costume himself! Big OOF for Disney trying to change to costume because it "might look bad to kids" though.
Darn right. And parents need to start being parents and teach their kids not to treat them and every other person like dirt by punching or pulling on their tails.
The Pluto one is one I've been annoyed with for a while. The kid shouldn't of done that and the guardians should of said something but Pluto should of also controlled themselves
So for the thing with rapunzel, I’ve experienced a similar experience with Tigger and my brother. It has nothing to do with race the character is just trying to get to point a to point b. If characters are doing meet up they will typically be in one spot not walking through the park. When my little brother saw Tigger (his favorite character overall) while walking around near some bathrooms, he practically tackled Tigger screaming out of joy. Tigger (while startled at first) then kneeled down to give him a big hug. In the meantime the cast member accompanying Tigger started screaming and yelling at me and my little brother (mainly me thank god) that I should control my child better and that Tigger couldn’t see well, my brother could have caused serious injury to him, and if we wanted to see or meet Tigger to go to one of the meet up spots at those designated times. I’m assuming Tigger had to go to the bathroom since he was near there. I’ll admit at first I thought that cast member was a mean bitch but after the Disney trip was over I realized we we’re definitely in the wrong. Honestly I think that all characters should have a cast member on standby to help protect them or explain (nicely) that certain things aren’t allowed to park guests. Character safety is just as important as guest safety.
Considering the rules around the costumed cast members, I doubt Tigger was going to take a wizz. If he had to do that, he'd be going into the tunnels beneath Disney, where he could remove his costume without "breaking the magic" Thats probably why cast members don't follow the characters around like you suggested. It's fine if Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Tigger, Goofy and such don't talk, it's another thing entirely if a cast member has to lay out rules and speak for them all the time.
Yeah heck they may feel uncomfortable after some of this incidents they don’t want to hurt people,there there because they wanna create magic?well some of them
If I had a nickel for every time a Winnie-the-Pooh character has appeared in court I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's wierd that it happened twice
I’ve been called a racist just for expressing my skepticism for the mascots ignoring black children. I’m not one to jump to conclusions immediately. But why aren’t we hearing from the performer’s perspective? Or from any other witnesses to the incident?
I wouldn't doubt that those kids were probably getting ignored (I speak from the perspective of having been in the shoes of those kids and getting ignored by entertainers). Keep in mind that I don't think I know anything for sure. The issue with having witnesses for these incidents of course is that things like this are really subtle so it's plausible that people did witness the event and just didn't view it as a big deal while it was happening. The part on not having an employee's perspective I can brush away with the fact that they probably didn't wanna directly speak up since having accused racism attached to your name would suck. I will admit that both these factors are pretty sus because you'd think someone would have come out by now or there'd be more details, so it's entirely valid to be skeptical 🤔
I remember hearing about the whole "Minnie Mouse Molestation" incident about a year or two ago. I can definitely understand the probation and community service sentence, which was very much deserved, but I was confused why he needed psychological evaluation.....then I thought "why the fuck would a grown man decide to grope a cartoon mouse and touch her chest and her ass?" so it makes sense.
Wtf so true… also ugh can you imagine being scared working somewhere that might get mad at you for “breaking character” due to SEXUAL ASSAULT? Like damn Disney is slavery…
When I worked at Disney World, the girl who played Chip got tossed into the bushes by her guide, of all people. She sprained her ankle. As far as some of these accusations to characters, I find them very hard to believe. The rigorous screening and training process for characters is so intense, I can't see people who would do such things getting through. Plus, these people walk in as professional entertainers, many with a focus on children's entertainment (I did). I'm not saying it can't happen, just that it's unlikely. And as far as the kids getting "ignored," you have so much going on around you, it's practically impossible to keep up with all of it and distinguishing one tourist from the next can become very difficult. Add to that, while it takes VERY special people to be characters, ANYBODY can get into the park as a guest. I never had a problem with a co-worker. Not once. Some of the guests though...it was hard to continue to smile. Hell, it was hard not to sock them in the face. But, you keep a brave face. That's the job.
The rapunzel one I’m pretty sure isn’t racism either, if there was some grandma following me around yelling at while I was dressed up I would want to get away as fast as possible, even if it means ignoring some people
I was working as the character attendant the day of the Minnie Molestation at Judges Tent in Toontown. The room Minnie was in was my room and I was the character attendant for Mickey and Minnie. I can’t remember if I was on lunch or on break but when I came back to that room the incident has just occurred and I was sent somewhere else. I was THIS close to being a part of this case and going to trial. I was also working the day of the monorail crash too. 2009 was a rough time at Disney. But I loved working there.
I saw a video sometime ago where in an Aladdin stage show, the wires on the magic carpet broke, during "A whole new world, leaving Jasmine dangling 20 ft in the air. I know it's not the same as meeting characters in person at the park, but I always wondered what happened with that. Also, you got new subscriber. Excellent stuff
The grandma recording, in the last one, was really shouting and creating a bit of chaos. Princesses have a timeline of walking around and rotating where they need to be on time, that's why you see so many people following and having a chat with them as they walk too. Rapunzel did infact talk and acknowledge the little girls near the end of the clip and the grandma still wasn't letting her own opinion go, she was seeking special treatment it sounds like to me, I see incidents like this a lot when it comes to characters at birthday parties etc. Sad, really, putting the idea of racism into your own young children's heads just because YOU want something extra over others.
Sick of the race card yes there people who are racist out there, but these characters deal with so much (I worked at disney) and they are so overwhelmed, they just need a break. But avoiding any child is not tolerable, especially at the most magical place on earth
I’ll be honest, I thought the first Tigger incident was going to be the second when you said it was well known. But on a more serious note, I can’t help but feel awful for Pooh and Pluto’s performers. Especially the latter, since Pooh’s actor got some justice for false allegations from parents that can’t teach their kids proper manners. Pluto’s behavior may have been out of line, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no clear sign of the parents doing anything.
I can tell you a lot of parents forget about their responsibilities the second they put a foot inside a Disney Park. They let their kids do whatever they want, and it's up to the cast members to make sure no one is hurt. As a ride operator, it's really exhausting to have to play babysitter while also trying to be efficient and keep the guests ans the ride safe, so I can't imagine how hard it is went you're a character and you have to be close to them all day, and can't even break character when they're going off limit - just respect to these casts. Because of course, if something wrong happens, won't be the kid's fault, won't be the parent's either, it will obviously be the cast's...
@@artzzdrawzz7460 I know. I was talking about Pluto in that case because his actor didn’t get the final say, and had to resign. Pooh was acquitted, and nothing’s said about if he lost the job or quit.
I mean, Disney parks have existed for almost 70 years at this point and over 1 billion people have come through the magic gates of their parks, just through the laws of statistics, something will happen eventually.
There is an interesting comment made by Tony Goldmark (aka Some Jerk With A Camera) where he talks about the Indiana Jones show and says that it is sad that a cast member died, but that equally it proves how safe the parks usually are considering how long it took from the opening of the parks until the incident for someone to die. I think I have to agree on that one.
Idk if rapunzel was at disneyland or world, but, characters are on a schedule and it is so unbelievably loud in the parks (imo) I can believe she didn't hear them or notice them at first. Gotta be some statistics on park worker deafness.
Obviously what happened in the bryan sherman case was fucked up beyond belief, but does anyone else think it's kinda neat that they used photopass to bring the guy to justice?
I knew Bob Hill back then. That damned lawsuit really depressed him and he was upset that Disney was making him wear the suit into court -- he really didn't want to do it. He certainly did not hit anyone on purpose. The suit was frustrating to wear as he had trouble seeing anything while inside. He was a good guy and didn't deserve to have to go through what he did.
The "groping" allegations are the ones that always get me. Groping is a VERY different act from accidentally brushing up against a body part. As a guy I've had my butt _and_ my junk brushed up against in cramped public spaces, and never did it feel intentional. It happens to everybody at some point, given you're not a complete antisocial shut-in who avoids situations where there might be crowds. Now, take that basic fact of life and put someone in a clunky fursuit that impairs both their motion and vision, and make it part of their job description that they're supposed to be tactile (hugs, hi-fives etc.) with guests. Don't you think these little accidents are going to be a lot more frequent? I'm sorry, but the guests in this video who sued claiming "emotional trauma" and "recurring nightmares" etc. are either _extremely_ sheltered people at best, or money grubbing liars at worst. And in neither scenario are they helping victims of _actual_ abuse.
My mom told me that when she went on a trip to Disney World in the mid 2000's, she was taking a picture with Chip and Dale but Chip grabbed her butt. So she got mad and screamed at him.
@@gloomiiii I don’t believe so. But this is coming from a outsider that hasn’t seen the incident being talked about, but based off what they said it doesn’t sound like any action was taken even though there should have been.
The Pluto one was tragic. The worst part here is that he got *run over* by a Beauty and The Beast float at the Share The Dreams Come True parade. It was one of the worst incidents that ever happened in life 😢
I don't know how well known this one is but I remember seeing awhile back about a case of girls pulling on the white rabbit's tail even after being told to stop so the person grabbed one of the girls and said something to her (I can't remember what though)
For the second Tigger incident, I think the slap was an accident. Looking at the way he did it, it looks like he wasn’t able to fully see what he was doing (like in the first incident) and didn’t mean to do it.
EDIT: alright, my bad, I forgot it was only Disney character related incidents. Deborah Gail Stone was a 18 year old employee who started to work in Disneyland from Orlando during finales of June, 1974. A few weeks later, on July 8 1974, she was crushed to death between two walls in an attraction called “America Sings”. This due to the lack safety measures provided for the employees. Marcelo Cruz is a specially infuriating case. This poor soul suffered an accident in a train-shaped roller coaster where the locomotive crushed him, worst part, he spent his last 15 minutes of life fighting for his life because of the insultingly slow response from Disney ‘s emergency team. Rest In Peace, Deborah and Marcelo.
Here’s a story: When my friend was 3, she went to Disney world. She was at a character breakfast and Goofy came up to her, she was so scared of the costume that she stabbed him with the fork in his side. She still has the fork Edit: I’m sorry to inform you all, but she made the story up. I stopped being friends with her due to her toxicity
I think the Ariel one was just a matter of time. I remember the first time I was in the grotto, I couldn’t believe there was a late teens/early 20s girl sitting there in just a seashell top. I even said at the time someday some pervert is gonna touch her, rub her arm, shoulders or something like that.
I dated a girl who was “friend” with Ariel. The amount of creeps she had to deal with was insane. Whenever I visit her at work the attendants made sure no other guest would be in sight because our meet would be a little “closer” than the usual meet with adult guests, so no one will think it’s ok wrap their arms around her waist or pose with her like Prince Eric.
man its really sad how people will acuse these performers of such despicable actions when they are actually lying to get money or the ones that molested/assaulted the cast. the fact that this year ive seen many videos of kids and grown adults alike assaulting these people is awful
ngl the sesame street parade one really was an asshole move on the mascot’s part. But all the other ones shown in the video really did look like the actors just couldn’t see the kids or didn’t have time left to interact with them.
Here’s Nathan, going above and beyond, especially with the editing, but this is an interesting Edit: YES, I would like to see these more darker videos, especially about theme parks
A little ariel story, as a kid i was amazed when I first saw the cast member. I would always watch the princess movies and loved it. She tried to brush my hair with a fork. But seeing how my mom would hairspray my hair so much so there wasn't a hair out of place. She had to stab the fork in my hair lol. It didn't hurt at all, but I left in awe lol.
Great video! Hadn't heard any of these. Lemme lighten the mood a bit: My best memory of a Disney character interaction happened in 2004, my Senior trip. My classmate, also a class clown, was terrified of the Quasimodo mascot, and got chased around the park a bit by him. She also had an aversion to Popeye, who also made sure to make her do her best impression of a panicked chicken. Also funny was the fact that because she had no ass, her pants fit everywhere but her ass, so if she wasn't careful, the crack was falling out. It happened numerous times during the trip when she decided to trot.
I remember the second Tigger incident. It was clear from the get-go that that dumb boy was messing with the Tigger costume behind his back. All the RU-vid comments on the news video of that incident described it as “just another American family trying to get some easy money” They were correct. Your report on it is inaccurate, by the way. The case did go to court; it had just been dropped later on.
honestly, i think the "pluto on the run" incident seems the most reasonable, the pluto mascot nearly lost his balance when the kid pulled on the suit's tail, and then after pluto shook his finger at the kid (as a way to let the kid know not to do that) the kid kicked pluto, if i was in that worker's shoes, i would have started chasing that little menace kid as well.
You say they got rid of the stubby costumes because of incidents like these, but that makes zero sense. If anything, the restrictive costumes helped prove their innocence.
@@wesleytwiggs7687 If the costume isn’t restrictive and you can see out of it clearly, then the person inside the costume is less likely to have an incident. That’s the point other people are trying to make.
The last one with rapunzel is defenitly annoying. Rapunzel is walking around like every character does. Any kid she sees coming up to them, she would great them. Also it kinda looks like she was about to take a break because a cast member was with her (unless I'm blind). She then happens to bump into other kids and greet them on the way back to her break room or wherever she's going. But that lady is offended that she's walking away and said hi to other kids not their color and scream racism because they are black. Like she went ahead to scream and threaten rapunzel. Which can be quite scarry to hear and will make you feel uncomfortable if someone is following you around and calling for you when you have somewhere to go and assume racism.
Glad you did some different stories rather than the same ol' ones everyone else does. I totally expected the one about the character who died "backstage" at the beginning of a parade, and the one about the princess player who ended up being an accessory to murder or whatever the charge was called. Glad you didn't do those.
I’d love to see more of these types of stories not just from Disney but others that you suggested. Not being an American citizen and never having been to anything Disney related because in my childhood in the 1970’s, my parents didn’t have the money to go holidaying abroad and now as an adult, not having children, I’ve not heard of any of these incidents.
Also the black children too. Speaking of which, I'm a light skinned black person. My mom is black and my dad is white. I'm half black half white but I look white but I'm a light skinned black person.
Seeing the footage it seems that Rosita was still interacting with the previous person and didn't notice the children and equally Rapunzel didn't see them yet.
@@theautisticcomedian Rosita literally shook her head and gestured like she was saying “no” to the children and people still think that it was accidental.. it was so blatantly obvious
you know this video is very good and he even says sorry at the end buddy you did so much and the fact that he cares about the people watching makes this a respectable video and he took his time while making this video so
Seeing mascots ignore kids because of their race really broke my heart. But if that woman was genuinely using her grand daughters for an attempt at getting media attention that's just as bad bc you're now exploiting ur grandchildren and ruining their magical experience all for what
Doubt it. You know Most family members records their kid’s experiences for memories. If they were ignored before , it wouldn’t make sense for them to waste their money and go through trauma again just to prove a point. I feel like this was genuine disappointment
You DO realize that mascots are on a time schedule and cannot interact with everyone,right? Plus,it's so noisy in the parks that mascots and other perfomers might not be able to hear year. One time i was trying to talk to Tiana in Magic Kingdom,but she didn't hear me and kept walking because the park was so noisy. I wasn't "ignored" just because I was white,but Tiana didn't hear me because there was so much noise going on,plud Tiana was on a TIME SCHEDULE. So,mascots aren't "ignoring kids because of race"..mascots are following their company's rules and have to abide by those rules,and it's hard to hear and see inside mascot costumes. I know that for a fact because I've dressed up as Chica the Chicken for Halloween before,and it's hard to see and hear inside the fan-made Chica costume.
On the Indiana jones one the footage they used of the guy getting ran over by the ball was actually planned and the workers always run up to check on the guy
One of my cousins was attacked while playing Chuckie Cheese. It was the birthday boy. Shortly after the birthday party Chuckie peeked out of the kitchen and motioned for the little boy to come around a corner that led to the kitchen. As soon as he came around the corner Chuckie hit him in the face,ran into the kitchen to the costume dressing room and disappeared
All the racism ones are such BS, like I would've understood if the character was acting violently, insulting or giving black people the middle finger, but they throw such a hissy fit because the person in the suit that is sweating their ass off didn't see the 3 feet tall child that was in their blind spot (which is like 90% of your vision in those suits) so they didn't great them right away. This people are trying to work ffs.
This reminds me of the time chuck e cheese got on the news for "racism" because a black girl was being ignored The reality of the story is that chuck never even looked at her, nor did anyone try to get his attention. All the birthday kids were on the stage and the girl was behind him. He looked around once, but never looked at the girl. That family tried to sue CEC for emotional damage... what a drama queen they are.
This video was interesting and informative of those incidents that I didn't know about thank you for the information. Rest in peace the people who died in those incidents.
3 Days later: Five Children are now linked to the incident at Disney Park, where a man dressed up as a cartoon Mickey Mouse suit, invited children into a backroom.
