Per Hirsch’s Twitter video, Disney’s S&P department asked Hirsch to revise phrases like “chub pup” and “poopface” in the kids show. “Please revise ‘poopface’ as it comes across as a replacement for ‘shitface,'” one email read.

Another added “chub” has a “sexual connotation,” while another edit said: “It has come to our attention that ‘hoo-ha’ is a slang term for vagina. Please revise.”

Hirsch replied that a t-shirt with the phrase “chub pup” on it has no sexual connotation whatsoever to male genitalia. “This is silly,” the “Inside Job” creator wrote. “It’s an image of a fat dog.”

Things got even more tangled with dialogue that could be inferred to have religious ties, including a character using “jeez” out of exasperation. Disney S&P argued it was an “abbreviation for Jesus.” Executives even debated if a quote had ties to a “furry fetish” when adults dress up like animals and animated characters for sexual purposes.
