    Fuck this shit, now I gotta be pro Disney too? I’d gotten so used to hating them. They grew on me a little back when they stood up against DeSantis in Florida too.

    I miss the days when we could just love/hate corporations based on their business practices instead of culture war bullshit.

      It’s almost like there were nuances to almost everything instead of the world being neatly divisible into good and bad.

      Their brand of diversity is some bs anyways so you don’t have to be pro Disney.

      Remember, they gladly took help from a Chinese concentration camp to make their girl boss Mulan remake.

      They also fired all their park workers during covid and gave themselves 10 million bonuses while their workers were surviving on food stamps. Some workers had even signed non compete clauses so they literally could not use their talents elsewhere to feed themselves.

      Further more, Disneys current version of DEI is divisive, soulless and insincere.

      It isn’t a black or white situation. You can hate Disney AND MAGA. To me, they are all two sides of the same rotten coin. Ruthless, selfish and greedy people who use others to get ahead and pull the ladder up after themselves.

        they also began to renege on thier “Dei” i think for a show they removed the lgbtq+ person and including a " persecuted christian in the mix". additionally they started public resumed donation to desantis and GOP in florida when all the news blew over.

          Oh, they have done shit like that for years. Removing black actors from their movie posters when sending their films to places like China, removing all LGBT stuff from their oh so diverse remakes when sending them to countries that dislike gay stuff.

          They are so fake.

            one thing i do notice they never touch christians though, most people watching disneys arent christians, its just to get them from not complaining about Disney. SPN was one show that have to astroturf with christianty is the one true religion" and disrepecting other dieties/mythology.

      I mean, Disney is still evil. They probably saw how much Target fucked up and don’t want to make the same mistake.

      There’s more money in appealing to everyone instead of just white evangelicals Americans.
