The Br'er Rabbit stories were basically Western African religious myths transliterated into the slave idiom. It's a lot like how voodoo is Western African religion hiding behind Catholic iconography.

Disney really didn't have an understanding of anything subtextual at all.

There was also a lot in Mary Poppins that spoke about Travers' lesbianism, but, again, Uncle Walt didn't have the context to grasp it.

they must have changed it recently because it's been super aggressive lately. Like if I watch one video about cars my recs are nothing but cars for the next 2 days

Are you saying you couldn't find it organically through searching?

No, I'm saying I'd looked at videos on this same topic just a few hours before it went up on here. (Or is there some sort of hive mind thing going on?)
