It sure would be useful to have a major franchise that hadn’t underperformed due to mismanagement and political virtue signalling.

I wouldn't mind one bit if Disney went completely under and had to be liquidated. They are too dominant a force in the entertainment entity, essentially a monopoly. On top of that the "entertainment" they produce is really subversive propaganda. The death of that company would be a good thing for America.

Can you elaborate on this or give an example?

Would you say that this counts?

Meet Marvel's First Transgender Hero: 12-Year-Old 'Mighty' Rebekah

Rebekah was only 10 years old when the Trump administration rolled back its protections for transgender students — but she, as a transgender student, felt compelled to act on behalf of herself and her community.

“I can change the world," Rebekah asserted in a new episode of Marvel's Hero Project, a Disney Plus series that profiles youth who are making a difference.

A native of New Jersey, she and her family partnered with organizations like Garden State Equality to give speeches and demonstrate that trans people are not the villains that the federal government and right-wing media make them out to be.

To enact change on a local level and change hearts and minds, Rebekah even appeared before the New Jersey legislature to lobby for Assembly Bill 1335, legislation that would mandate LGBTQ history curriculum in public schools.

“I’ve never seen myself in the history they’re teaching," Rebekah told legislators, pointing to LGBTQ figures like Harvey Milk, Marsha P. Johnson — and possibly, one day, herself — as figures that young people need to learn about.

Her voice made a difference. N.J. Gov. Phil Murphy (D) signed the bill into law in February, and LGBTQ-inclusive lessons will begin next year.

The episode of Marvel's Hero Project also shows her coming-out journey. She articulated that she was trans by age 8, when her mother outlined the LGBTQ acronym after a search for gender-nonconforming bathing suits.

Marvel movies. The girl power and diversity crap is fundamentally subversive as is the replacement of white heroes with blacks and male heroes with women.

Maleficent. The retelling of a classic with the roles of good and evil reversed. This is fundamentally subversive as it undermines objective good.

Mulan. A girl power flick with a female hero in a setting where her heroics are impossible. She kicks the butts of huge men. It's just ridiculous.

Star Wars sequals. The constant girl power propaganda and the Mary Sue character and the diversity garbage. Then there's the woke robot in Solo.

That's all I have time for right now.

I'm not seeing what's bad about girl power and racial diversity tbh.

Maleficent. The retelling of a classic with the roles of good and evil reversed. This is fundamentally subversive as it undermines objective good.

Hmm, I can see this potentially being a problem. Although it also depends on what you consider to be objective good.

Mulan. A girl power flick with a female hero in a setting where her heroics are impossible. She kicks the butts of huge men. It's just ridiculous.

I can see the problem with that.

But overall, none of these make Disney bad. Some other examples shown to me (like the Pinocchio one) are pretty fucked up though.

If you have to ask this question you're either trolling or have lived in a cave for the last 20 years.

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Neither. I want to know what material you (or they) personally think is subversive propaganda. I don’t want to assume anything.

Here's a thread on Pinocchio. It goes really deep.

https://twitter.com/40_head/status/1284805116743184389?s=20

edit: It takes a hard turn into q and speculation. I'll keep looking. There was a twitter thread a few days ago looking at a whole bunch of disney stuff with screen shots and connections. I'll see if i can find it.

One with pictures. i thought it was this one, but it's not .this was used in the one i'm looking for though.

Thank you. I will look through them.

Edit: ew, what the fuck is this? I'm going down the rabbit hole now.

[–]Riva 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah there is a lot there and it connects with real world stuff. a lot of new people are not ready for a thread like that yet. Still, it's got legit info and screenshots. I'm still looking for the thread i saw yesterday. It was saved via unroll (i think) and it went through multiple disney movies and expanded on Pinocchio. Little mermaid, Lion king. Kid chasers in bednobs and broomsticks. Really detailed, it's a shame i can't find it. much less q stuff, more focus on disney. I'm not saying q stuff is bad, but it's not the question you were asking lol.

There was a TikTok exposing an old Disney (I think, but it was children’s entertainment nonetheless) movie about a little boy dating a grown ass woman, so I’m not really surprised by all of this. But I am disgusted at the fact that Disney spreads this ugliness onto the world. I guess you produce what you represent. Pedophilia is rampant.

Go back to reddit

Seems like you can't stay away from me.

Be wary. This happened to Voat as well- after a mass reddit ban wave, people try to re-assemble at new forums and the forum gets bombarded by DDOS attacks and autistic "users" who spout ethnic slurs and harass communities looking to settle in.

Gotcha. I read about that on the announcement thread earlier. His posting history is atrociously uninsightful. He needs to go back to 4chan.

Likely not a real account. A key weakness of "free speech" platforms is that you can create 10 accounts and spam unhinged autism to drive people away. Make sure you block him.

Thanks.

Would you prefer if they were bought out by Tencent?

[–]Lostcarkeys 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I would prefer if the film industry died and was reborn under white patriot ownership.

I never thought I'd live to see the day where I'd celebrate Disney failing. But their Micky Mouse copyright lobbying and other bullshittery make it clear Disney is a great evil for the country and its laws.

I feel for all the employees that can and will lose their jobs in the upcoming months. I don't feel bad for Disney, they can go fuck themselves.

But this is also why we need the economy to reopen, pandemic be damned. You can't continue to keep shit closed, the outcome is going to be much worse than the pandemic.

[–]_XEAL_ 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Sorry for the employees, but fuck you, Disney.

This is really interesting. Thanks for posting.

[–]TruthTeller 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

This is just a right-wing fantasy. They always overestimate their buying power.

Each time they do their "boycott" of any brand, no matter what the reason, they take credit for any downturn for that brand. The fact is, there's downturns everywhere due to the pandemic.

This is just as alt-right assholes taking credit for the downturn for Nike. They really think burning a few Nikes on YouTube because Nike hired Colin Kopernick caused the downturn for Nike

Fucking laughable!

Then you're retarded. Just plain drool all over yourself retarded.

I'm impressed with your ability to form an argument.

Ruining Star Wars is incredible, I was never a huge fan but would have never guessed they could lose so much money destroying such a huge IP.

It's amazing how ONE woman has cost Disney billions.

Karina Longworth worked as a teacher at a university. On her podcast, she's talked about how much she resented her students. Basically she wanted to promote Art House films, and they liked SciFi.

Later, she married a talented director named Rian Johnson. Johnson had done fantastic work before he met her, including what many regard as the best TV show ever: Breaking Bad.

After they married, Johnson's work began to ooze themes of social justice. Johnson arguably ruined Star Wars single handedly, but methinks his wife helped.

After trashing Star Wars, Longworth turned her guns on Song of the South, and produced an NPR series of podcasts about Disney's racism.

Aw, that's a shame. Shoveling money at Colin Kapernick will probably fix it, though.

The Disney of today has no relation to the company of 50 years ago. Very sad, it deserves to die.

The news of a corporation as vile as Disney slowly going underwater are very pleasant to read; however, I am almost certain that they have more than enough lobbying capacity to receive a "too big to fail" designation and get a hefty bail-out.

[–]Sand313man 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

They had there biggest ever recorded revenues in 2019.

If they are in ‘financial trouble’ it’s because they chose to be, so that they can repurchase their own stock at lower prices.

This is a natural cycle. And this sources info, is from bottom tier employee about to lose his job, or a higher up sending out the signals they want to send out.

Don’t hold your breath. Disney won’t go anywhere.

I'll never forgive them for taking over Fox.

Fox were a fun company to work for while working on a Disney picture is like working in a bank. A really boring bank where you aren't allowed to drink at lunch, or have lunch at all, and your bonus is a cheap hoodie.
