"After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney's Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot."

Zegler's posts on Trump added another audience demographic, Trump supporters, who decided to boycott Snow White, in addition to pro-Palestine audience members who were boycotting the film for its inclusion of Gadot, and pro-Israel audience members for Zegler's firm stance on Palestine.

Poor Disney! The reviews aren't helping either.

It's #20 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_films btw 😂

I can’t believe Disney got full political compass unity by offending every demographic. Props for them ending the culture war.
