Disney Studios

[gcode]

I don't have words to describe how nuts I think this is

Remember the Evil Queen in Disney's animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937)? "Mirror, mirror, on the wall ..." and all that. She was pretty scary.

But not nearly as scary as what Disney is doing today.

It's hard to conceive how twisted and immoral Disney Studios—where I once worked on two feature films—has become, but I will let the estimable Chris Rufo of City Journal explain what went on at one of the company's meetings, dubbed the "Reimagine Tomorrow Conversation Series."

"In a featured presentation at the meeting, executive producer Latoya Raveneau laid out Disney's ideology in blunt terms. She said her team was implementing a 'not-at-all-secret gay agenda' and regularly 'adding queerness' to children's programming. Another speaker, production coordinator Allen Martsch, said his team has created a 'tracker' to ensure that they are creating enough "canonical trans characters, canonical asexual characters, [and] canonical bisexual characters.' Corporate president Karey Burke said she supported having 'many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories' and reaffirmed the company's pledge to make at least 50 percent of its on-screen characters sexual and racial minorities."

Oh, good. And lest you think the theme parks will be spared, such fogeyish, discriminatory terms as "ladies," "gentlemen," "boys," and "girls" are to be eliminated in favor of making family excursions to Anaheim and Orlando "magical and memorable for everyone," evidently including 4-year-old transexuals.

One can imagine—"reimagine tomorrow," in their parlance— that the nightly procession of Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, et al., that traditionally ended an evening at Disneyland will now resemble the annual Gay Pride Parade in West Hollywood or even the Fulton Street Fair that is the highlight of San Francisco's "Leather Pride Week."

What's going on here—other than the destruction of Western civilization as we knew it, leavened by a rather significant dollop of sickening child abuse?

Well, part of it is evidently rage at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's new Parental Rights in Education Bill that is called the "Anti-Gay Bill" by the braindead choir in the mainstream media (I even saw it in a supposedly neutral AP headline), although the words "gay" or "homosexual" aren't mentioned even once in the bill whose obvious intention is that children only learn about sexuality of any kind in an age-appropriate manner.

We might add that while this is going on, education in our country, in general, is execrable. Our kids may be being force-fed some "woke" version of sexuality but they sure aren't learning much about reading and math.

Schools everywhere are giving up on the SATs. They might as well. The tests were already dumbed down and readjusted significantly about 20 years ago, when the average score, meant to be 500, had fallen into the low-400s.

As for Disney, it's important to remember this isn't just a one-off collection of wokeys enjoying their minimal power at a secret meeting (whose contents are only known because of a leak, obviously for fear it will be found out and people will stop attending their offerings).

The Walt Disney Co. is, next to Comcast, the biggest entertainment and communications company in the entire world. They own not only Walt Disney Studios, but also Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios, 20th Century Animation, and Searchlight Pictures.

Further, from Wikipedia:

"Disney's other main business units include divisions in television, broadcasting, streaming media, theme park resorts, consumer products, publishing, and international operations. Through these various segments, Disney owns and operates the ABC broadcast network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic; publishing, merchandising, music, and theater divisions; direct-to-consumer streaming services such as Disney+, Star+, ESPN+, Hulu, and Hotstar; and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, a group of 14 theme parks, resort hotels, and cruise lines around the world."

So that conversation at the "Reimagine Tomorrow Conversation Series" has ramifications for virtually every citizen on planet Earth, sooner or later.

Growing up Disney was always a place of morals. No Violence, Happiest place on earth. Be Kind.

Didn't need to be told, it was what it was.

Kids being Kids and Adults being Kids. Remembering Childhood. Fun Memories and looking to a bright Future.

I grew up near Anaheim, driving past at night we always watched for the fireworks.

I bought many yearly passes as Christmas presents.

"If you wish upon a star"

I wish they would stop.

RIP Walt.

That's no secret. Disney has been super woke as of late.

I've been boycotting them for a long time.
I don't care what side of the sexuality fence you are on, but stop with the agenda. Just be happy with yourself and stop trying to get little kids to be gay,queer,trans, etc.... Let them decide on their own once they are at least a teenager.

98% of the people won't give a rats ass what Disney is doing..., that's why they feel enabled TO do it..

Parents that want to plop their kids down in front of the boob tube, they're not going to change what they do..

I ain't saying I agree with them, just that the (m)asses aren't going to care

Yes my wife and I lived in Anaheim for nearly 20 years.
We could see the fireworks from the parking lot of our condo.
The area got too dangerous to live in so we sold out and moved to the Inland Empire.
Now this area is going the same way... the next move is going to be a couple of thousand miles
east of here.

I honestly can't imagine living in southern California. The climate alone would turn me off, and that is just the beginning of a long list. A couple of thousand miles gets you to Ohio. Lots of cheap houses there in the rust belt.

Kentucky is waaaay better than Ohio.

They can stay with The Fish till they get a trailer of their own.

The worst two school systems I was in were in Kentucky. The best school system was in Ohio.

It'll be nice to sell your house for a million plus and buy an even nicer home for under 200K.

When we escaped from Orange Country we bought at the peak of the real estate bubble.
I knew we were buying into a bubble, but there was no option but to GTFO of Orange County.
We will have some equity, but nothing close to $1 million
also
I've been watching real estate prices in Tennessee for about a year. They are steadily rising as people flee blue state shitholes

Here at work we have lost 3 of our top machinists in the last couple of months.
2 to Texas, 1 to Arizona. All three were native born Californians.
