2 male characters hang out "100% definately gay cause I said so."

Efficiency means monopoly

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.

you don't have to love them, you just maybe shouldn't put them at the top of your "FUCK YOU" list. one could argue that their treatment of copyright is a part of what got us here.

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.

It's always more complicated than the binary. Disney might be getting DEI but still forces creators to censor out any LGBT references in their shows, or cancel them if they do them anyway. They still are anti union and work people to the bone.

If you want it simple, no corporation is your friend, ever. They are there simply to take your money, without regard for scruples, and any form of morality they seem to be acting on is either because it will make them more money or it is illegal and not cost effective to break the law.

It's still a good sign the shareholders have some sense in this specific case, but make no mistake, Disney doesn't care about anything other than money.

They have met their fundamental duty as an organization led by human beings who can and should be held to moral standards.

I despise their behavior with copyright but here they've earned the right to not get the "caved to fascists" boycott

None of these companies actually care. They will go woke until it sends them broke.

Nah, its just more proof that this think tank is shit at making money. Disney doesn't have morals, but it does have a very profitable "princess" marketing strategy. This think tank didn't really read the room very well.

This is like rooting for the villain. Ok, whatever ... Disney is cool again.

Unfortunately the Trump admin want them to behave a certain way, and anything different is seen as them being mean, apparently.

The most accurate takeaway is that the shareholders wish for Disney to continue participating in Diversity Equity and Inclusion measures.

The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.

Call of what if is and it becomes more clear.

DEI is diversity equity and inclusion. You know, inclusion of racial minorities, disabled people, and women in historically male dominated roles.

Disneys board rejected enacting a Trump inspired policy of racism, sexism, and general bigotry.

you're not wrong

Shareholders in a company whose entire business is around being well liked globally thinks it would be a bad business move to cancel a program that is part of a good public image in favor of placating a relatively small chunk of Americans that would both be paying attention and against DEI.

They could still be pro-Trump, and not really caring about DEI, but they know the value of optics in the context of a company like Disney.

Like all corporations, Disney is a mercenary. Their allegiance lies with whoever puts the bigger number on their cheque.

If MAGA is going to get in the way of Disney trying to make money, I'm more than happy to let Disney fight that battle and waste some cycles

This is a great fuckin question and one that's probably more important than we realize
