> Disney content, financially motivated or not, is some of the most left friendly media there is.

This is kind of true, but it isn't correct to color this as Disney doing a favor to the left. The reason their content is "left" friendly is that most people are pretty aligned with the "left" when it comes to social issues.

They are offering this content because it is popular with the majority of people (and thus profitable), not as some sort of favor to their friends.

I thought we had all collective moved past the naive idea that any corporation is ever "your friend".

But it’s also naive to think corporations aren’t made of feeling humans who sometimes want to do the right thing.

Agreed... but Disney is a terrible example of that. Sometimes an anti-example, historically.

I'd be interested to know why you think that is? So far as I can tell all they've done is sprinkle characters here or there that are or might be gay. I haven't seen any shows criticize wealth inequity or champion UBI.

In The Princess and the Frog, Tiana was denied the property she wanted to purchase by the Harvey Brothers (real estate agents) due to racial and socioeconomic discrimination.

Aladdin criticizes wealth inequality.

UBI isn't easily adapted into children's programming.

I have no mega corporations on my friend list.

Even just the vague suggestion of bending the knee here is a massive mistake. It can’t happen.

Even failing to speak up clearly _against_ ”censorship recommendation” is bad neigh that the business should frankly be cancelled to bankruptcy - including parks, cruises and the rest of it.

Strange how people are more willing to fight the companies that are somewhat on their side than those who are openly opposing them.

It's a lot easier to affect the behavior of a company that's actively trying to get your business, versus one that has already written you off.

Like canceling newsmax? Or quitting Rogan?

I can’t. And I can’t vote. I can not buy a Tesla and cancel Disney but that’s it.

It’s short sighted though. You don’t cancel your allies for a single failing, that just lets your enemy take their place.

Disney has been removing queer characters from shows and movies and canceling shows that have large queer audiences. They're not as left friendly as they'd like you to believe.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. If Disney goes some Sinclair analog will take over that will probably call queer people mentally ill or something.

You both make good points.

Disney forgot who their friends were. They need to stay in the sin bin until they fully realize it.
