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."

“Openly” as if Christians aren’t the dominant cultural and political group in the USA

It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

• Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
• Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
• Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
• Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"

So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?

Religion or LGBT is a false dichotomy and shit like this just fuels division.

Fuck you Disney

I feel like these corps did a calculation and figured out everyone has an excuse to not boycott companies like Disney except right wingers who have become exceptionally good at the boycott.

In my experience those people will typically boycott brands as a group meanwhile my friends find every excuse in the book to support the major corps hurting them. Even aoc went to Florida during covid. And people wonder why they win.

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?

Corporate "allyship" at its finest.

Eww, yuck. I’ll pass on that one.

Well I did feel bad about pirating Agatha All Along but not anymore.

Disney be like: "Friendship ended with rainbow capitalism, now christian capitalism is my best friend."

Is being inclusive of people with cognitive reasoning disabilities a bad thing?

Now I feel even less guilty about stealing Star Wars content.

*Disnep

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.

Given the nature of the show, and the fact it is set in modern day America, it would be stranger if it didn't have a Christian kid in it.

Removing any references to being transgender is pretty shitty though.

I am curious as to which flavor of Christianity they are portraying 🤔

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.

Well now I can say Disney is woke. They woke up to kiss the ring and bow down to a fucking shit lip.

Any way the wind blows...

The State Religion, I guess.

boo Disney. Spineless.

it was only a matter of time. Ms Marvel had openly Muslim characters and Turning Red had Buddhists.

Any word on whether they're going to start telling good stories?

The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.
