Disney is a friend. You want to hurt them just enough to make a point but not enough to seriously hurt a actual ally. Disney content, financially motivated or not, is some of the most left friendly media there is. | |||||||||||||||||

> Disney content, financially motivated or not, is some of the most left friendly media there is. This is kind of true, but it isn't correct to color this as Disney doing a favor to the left. The reason their content is "left" friendly is that most people are pretty aligned with the "left" when it comes to social issues. They are offering this content because it is popular with the majority of people (and thus profitable), not as some sort of favor to their friends. | |||||||||||||||||

Disney has been removing queer characters from shows and movies and canceling shows that have large queer audiences. They're not as left friendly as they'd like you to believe. | |||||||||||||||||

I'd be interested to know why you think that is? So far as I can tell all they've done is sprinkle characters here or there that are or might be gay. I haven't seen any shows criticize wealth inequity or champion UBI. | |||||||||||||||||

Even just the vague suggestion of bending the knee here is a massive mistake. It can’t happen. Even failing to speak up clearly _against_ ”censorship recommendation” is bad neigh that the business should frankly be cancelled to bankruptcy - including parks, cruises and the rest of it. | |||||||||||||||||

Disney forgot who their friends were. They need to stay in the sin bin until they fully realize it. |
