It's funny though. Although they may have been upset, the post doesn't indicate so. But the other one goes straight for the ad hominem because they have no argument against calling out Disney for being censorious little shits.
One could stretch and say that detailing "without notice, warning, or statement" implied a demand for one of those, which is apparently unreasonable entitlement.
I think the general assumption when you buy or view a film is that unless you are told that it's cut or edited you are viewing the original theatrical presentation. We all grew up with a warning before every movie on broadcast TV that said it was "edited for time and content".
Even if not strictly required, it's still a best practice to alert viewers if you have made changes to a film. The fact that they did it silently without putting a disclaimer in the actual film, or even telling people they were doing it pretty much shows that they knew it would be viewed as improper and/or inappropriate.
