What's been said about Disney's Hey AJ cartoon series and its use of a durag for a superhero

According to Breitbart, there's been backlash against against a cartoon show on Disney called Hey AJ, featuring a character named Captain Durag, based on its alleged employment of stereotypes, including the costume's accessories:

The black superhero character wears a durag on his head in Disney’s Hey, AJ series. The head covering, which is common in the black community and used to protect treated hair or to protect intricate hair braids, has gone from a mere utilitarian item to a cultural statement for many American blacks.

But the cartoon’s use of the headwrap has led some to criticize the Disney character as being insensitive, stereotypical, or even “disrespectful,” according to PrimeTimer.

Criticism of the character includes accusations of tone deafness, lazy writing, and claims the character is somehow engaging in cultural ridicule.

But the creator of the character, Camille Corbett, who is black, has replied to the attacks on her X account.

“I created the character Durag Man, now known as Captain Durag on the Disney Show, Hey AJ and I’m just finding out people are finding it problematic? I just wanted our culture to have a superhero of its own!” she wrote.

As bad as Disney is today, this does sound like a forced overreaction from leftists who're anti-culture, selectively or otherwise, and if so, then of course that's a shame this woke mentality's still around. It's only brought pop culture to a point where it risks being near impossible to create anything challenging, and that's unacceptable.

That said, Disney's still not worth tuning into at this point, and they'll need a much better overhaul of leadership and creativity if they're ever to be considered worth financing again.
