Hollywood is always trying to be edgy to sell their product, that being entertainment. It was successful with Frozen that brought record profits to the feature film. Now the company tries to backpedal a little bit with the latest LGBT backlash from the right. The new Buzz Lightyear film featured a two second gay kiss from what I hear given that they can't cave as a company but also remain respectful to the new political environment. Unfortunately, like so much of our politics, this is an issue that is also a major dividing line between liberals and conservatives. So which customer is right? Can they really escape precedent? Tough hit to their stock seems to be the result.Skans » 05 Jul 2022, 4:22 pm » wrote: ↑ Yes, Disney is in business. And, as a business, Disney has violated one of the cardinal rules - the customer (or "guests" as Disney likes to call them) is always right. Disney could be completely neutral on sex, sexuality, and homosexuality and hardly one of its queer workers will say a peep about it. Because if they did, they'd get fired and quickly replaced, if Disney was a company that catered to the needs of its guests.
Disney World definitely catered to its guests up until about 30 years ago. It all started with "red shirt day" - gay-day. Since then, little by little, they have come under the influence of the homosexual political agenda. They are now less about families and kids than they are about siding with homosexuals politically. That's really sad too, because Walter would have been mortified about this.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
