    Better headline, “Disney toes the line for Nazi scum, and Walt himself was a Nazi sympathiser even after Kristallnacht. EPCOT was his fascistic wet dream. Fuck Disney throughout time.”

    a shift in conservative culture

    independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character

    conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically

    I guess Nazis saying “I’ll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor” and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.

    What if I am offended by Christian characters, something wildly inappropriate for young impressionable minds?

    This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007’s Bridge to Terabithia.

    So it’s not really the first then, is it?

    An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney’s attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.

    This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren’t they leaving money on the table like this? “Well, because of Trump.” Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??

    This article isn’t very well written. Many such cases, sadly.

      The majority doesn’t approve of more LGBT characters either, it’s just Newsweek being intentionally misleading.

      In summary, 36 percent disapproved in some form, 34 percent approved, while 31 percent neither approved nor disapproved, or didn’t know how they felt.

      I’d venture the majority of people prefer a good story. When you shoehorn any elements into a story it distracts the audience. The Star Trek Beyond Lt Sulu scene is a good example it did not provide any character or story development. Many of the star wars shows have similar elements which hurt an all ready damaged story.

        No, they aren’t. They’re just capitalists and will say and do whatever makes them the most money. Previously, that was slapping rainbows on shit, but now it’s not.

        But yes, absofuckinglutly fuck them.

      Disney has a history of gay censorship, and seem to have Christian movies every year à la Christmas

      Bohemian Rhapsody the movie is itself something being altered to make it more palatable. True gay love can only be experienced shortly before one buries their gay, and you could cut that movie so there’d be no discussion of Freddie’s sexuality at all.

      Kinda like how even the crumbs of gay Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts are little bits unrelated to the plot that can be sloughed off in any queer unfriendly place it needs to be released. Maybe companies can start teaming up with VidAngel, and we’ll get “Christian” releases of movies too.

      Yup. Disney doesn’t stand for anything. They just pander to wherever they think the money is.

        See, I actually agree with a lot of people who say they hate “Woke Things”

        Because 7 out of 10 times, they’re just mad at Rainbow Capitalism trying and failing to pander to “t3h gays”, but for some reason believe that “t3h gays” asked for it, when in reality we did not… the other 3 times nothing’s wrong and “Woke” is just code for “There was a black guy who did something outside of be comic relief, but if I said that aloud people would call me racist… Which I am”

          its the studio execs pushing the inclusiveness, even the lgbq+ dont want it, but the cons that never watches these have been calling it woke. a great example is STD discovery, such a bad show, but everyone has been pointing how the female leads are boring asfm Kurtzman having an obssesion with pushing it for some reason.

        I mean, my sister killed that movie for me when I was a kid, just like Little Mermaid.

        But now that I have a choice, I choose not to watch those movies.

        But if you want to change a German folklore story that was written in 1812 with a bunch of stupid ideologies, you can watch it all you want lol
