The streaming platform Disney + may have even canceled the series derived from the film With love, Simon (2018) – in which a teenager comes out as gay – considering it “too adult”, but has in its catalog Blank check (1994), which contains a scene that is strange to say the least: in which a woman over 30 kisses a 14-year-old boy.
In the comedy, the character Preston (Brian Bonsall) falls in love with an FBI agent Shay (Karen Duffy). They don't end up together, but they kiss and the woman asks the boy to get in touch ten years later.
Recently, this was pointed out in a video on the TikTok platform, which quickly went viral. “Disney+ does not allow With love, Simon, but displays shit like this. Give this a thought,” wrote @badideaa, who shared the video on Twitter, as you can see below.

A série With Love, Victor was transferred to Hulu, a streaming site in which Disney is a majority shareholder and shows programming for more “mature” audiences.
