GO WOKE, GO BROKE...Disney, also 'slow learners'

GO WOKE, GO BROKE...Disney, also 'slow learners'

So many MEGA industry groups [especially in the U.S.A.],
in recent years, have made a determined effort......
to 'utilise' the 'popular' DEI social 'branding' [of 'identity politics', of 'virtue signalling', and of 'political correctness'],
in their product, or in their 'service', as a 'cover',
[not in supporting [true, and meritorious] equity and inclusiveness, but rather,]
.......as a means, to slam and 'cancel' those >> who disagree << with their 'contrived',
neo-MARXIST, toxic, 'progressive', WOKE, social agenda.

Yet here, Disney too, is discovering, that their faux 'entertainment' is being rejected [by the vast majority, of their target audience],
as though what they are 'presenting' and offering, were 'poo' on a spoon.

Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

@ 01.25 "Disney.....making losing money, 'an art form'..."

@ 04.00 "[a perplexed Bob Iger is].....calling critics, a minority,
who don't understand Disney's vision,
for a more inclusive future..."

Did Bob Iger drink the WOKE 'Kool-Aid', ....fully embracing the 'purity' of 'progressiveness' ?

Disney CEO in Disbelief

Quote:

Disney’s 100th anniversary was supposed to be a celebration of its legendary legacy, but instead, it’s turning into an era of unprecedented backlash—and leading the charge is the Snow White live-action remake.
The controversy surrounding this film has snowballed into what could only be described as a PR disaster, leaving Disney CEO Bob Iger reportedly scrambling for solutions.

When the Snow White 2025 trailer dropped, it wasn’t just a flop—it was obliterated online, quickly earning the title of one of the most disliked trailers in cinematic history.
Fans and critics alike accused Disney of pushing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) at the expense of storytelling, sparking heated debates about the company’s direction.
And let’s not forget the ongoing drama surrounding lead actress Rachel Zegler and co-star Gal Gadot, adding fuel to the fire.

With five failed test screenings (yes, FIVE), boycotts gaining momentum, and social media ablaze with criticism, the once-mighty Disney brand is in uncharted waters.
Can Iger and his team salvage this sinking ship, or will Snow White cement its legacy as one of Disney’s biggest missteps?

48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Disney: a billion-dollar casualty of woke
The entertainment giant is paying a heavy price for trying to shove identity politics down our throats.

Ms. Marvel, whose real name is Kamala Khan, is the Marvel universe’s first Muslim superhero and a mentee of Captain Marvel.

Practically all new Disney films place a huge emphasis on this kind of diversity casting. Karey Burke, president of Disney’s General Entertainment Content division, said in a leaked video in 2022 that she wants 50 per cent of all Disney characters to be either LGBT or from an ethnic-minority background. Disney Television Animation executive producer Latoya Raveneau has similarly said she is ‘adding queerness’ wherever she can to the shows she oversees.

Perhaps Disney’s most egregious use of the girlboss trope was in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. This Disney+ series follows a Hulk-type character, except, as the title suggests, she’s a woman and a lawyer. She is a Strong Female Character who delivers lectures about why catcalling is bad. To the surprise of precisely no one, She-Hulk went down like a cup of cold sick with many Marvel diehards.

Even when its output isn’t excessively preachy, it still seems to trumpet ‘diversity’ at the expense of good storytelling. Take its 2023 movie, Elemental – the worst-performing release in Pixar’s history. It tells the story of a fire character and a water character falling in love. The film is inoffensive enough, even if its subtext about overcoming racism is not all that subtle. What executives were most proud of, however, was the fact that Elemental contained Disney’s first nonbinary character – a lake who wears earrings, goes by they / them pronouns and is voiced by a nonbinary actor.

The character, called Lake Ripple, is such a small part of the film that it – sorry, ‘they’ – doesn’t even appear in the end credits. But ‘they’ were still everywhere in the film’s marketing and media campaign.

To the surprise of precisely no one, this woke , DEI-preachy bilge goes down like a cup of cold sick - that is a vivid, spot-on formulation.

They are their own parody:

Disney Star Jenifer Lewis Rages at Black, Latino Men for Not Supporting ‘Joyful’ Kamala: ‘Ya’ll Done F**ked Up!

Disney Star?!? An oxymoron, Shurely.

Jenifer Lewis delivered a wild, profane, and at times completely unhinged rant during a recent interview with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, who called Lewis the “black mother of Hollywood.”

“They didn’t vote for her because she was a woman,” Lewis said. “They didn’t care that she was smart and powerful, educated, beautiful, kind, joyful, fearless!”
Grin

At one point in the interview, Lewis accused black and Latino men of self-loathing.

“They voted for him [Trump] because they hate themselves,” she said. “And they see this thing [Trump] as powerful, that he’s gonna move mountains for them and make them rich. And unfortunately, black men, they want a man. They said I’m voting for the man.”

At another point, Lewis became clearly unhinged by making wildly false accusations against President-elect Donald Trump, claiming he will use the military to shoot black men in the streets.

“So baby,” she said, “ya’ll done f***ed up! You took every right from your children.”

This isn’t the first time Jenifer Lewis has launched a profane tirade against Trump. Earlier this year, she had a meltdown during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Mornings with Zerlina.

“This motherf***ker is Hitler!” she said.

Walt Disney Posthumously Fired By Walt Disney Company For Being White Male

BURBANK, CA — In a move intended to show its ongoing commitment to diversity and righting any wrongs of the past, The Walt Disney Company announced it had posthumously fired Walt Disney for being a white male.

Disney leadership made the move in an effort to show that the company remains ever-vigilant to weed out the oppressive presence of Caucasian men from within its ranks and will go to whatever lengths are necessary to project a more diverse image in the future.

"We're deeply sorry we were founded by a white guy," said Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer Tinisha Agramonte. "It is always our goal to fill every position with someone who is not a white male, and we were devastated to learn that The Walt Disney Company was, in fact, started by Walt Disney. We apologize for this error and have taken the appropriate steps to rectify it. We will do better."

Company executives were shocked and saddened to learn that Walt Disney, a white man, had founded what became The Walt Disney Company over a century ago, leading to the swift action of posthumously terminating Disney's association with the media and entertainment giant. "His tyrannical white male rule is over," Agramonte continued. "We will now be offering counseling and reparations to any employees of The Walt Disney Company who may have been hurt by the fact that it was founded by Walt Disney."

At publishing time, it was reported that company executives had launched an internal investigation to determine if CEO Bob Iger, a white male, should face disciplinary action for being a white male.
