Mudhavi Sunder

Would Mudhavi Sunder’s TED talk about Kimba be added as a recent criticism? (It’s uploaded onto Youtube if you want to check.)

In her talk, she discusses for a moment about “The Lion King” and “Kimba the White Lion”. She compares shots from Kimba media to shots from “The Lion King”. After it was first published, there wasn’t much criticism—at least based on the captured shot before something I’ll soon mention happened in a different video at the timestamp 1:10:52 (focus on the like-dislike ratio in the shot). It’s a video released by Adam Johnston who runs a Youtube channel about movie critiques called “YourMovieSucks.org”. In this particular video, he dives into all the available contemporary Kimba media as of 2020 and breaks out everything about it regarding the controversy. His video had been talked about for how well-researched it is, and how he goes about the Kimba controversy is very informing.

However, after the YMS video was released, I went back and saw that her TED talk not only truly was misinformed about Kimba, it also now has more dislikes than likes to this day.

So yeah, the TED talk she gave itself is not good. She called that Zazu is a parrot, said that Mufasa appearing in the moon, and on top of all that, she even used an illegitimate source—which was also proven in the YMS video.

Point is, is this worth being in the criticism section? (BlueBlurHog) 31 Aug 2021 21:49 (UTC)

The 76th citation leads to a pay-only NY post, for a Free Enciclopedia that should be avoided. Anyone should be able to find information through citation without having to be forced to pay to a NY article 201.146.100.26 (talk) 13:12, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So true, Tom Smyth is the only speaker who took massive action 131.111.5.172 (talk) 11:56, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Theranos

Why is not Theranos mentioned in the article, considering TED gave substantial legitimacy to the company by allowing Holmes speak there? TED also silently removed the Holmes' talk from their website and haven't made a single apology or retraction. Removal from site without accompanying clarifications surmounts to coverup and destruction of archival record. There's multiple articles talking about it. Please research and write a paragraph on this. It should even be in the lead. "Recently the conference has received accusations of hosting quackery and promoting pseudoscience" or such. 84.15.181.58 (talk) 15:10, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
