No surprise here. Disney may be making noises about returning to mainstream entertainment, but noises are noises and action is action.

And Disney’s actions are still 100% queer ideology. There may have been a changing of the guards at the top of the company, but Disney simply replaced the guy who inherited an ideological mess with the one who created it in the first place. Ed wrote about the leadership shift and why it didn’t mean what many on the right thought it did about a return to family-friendly content.

Evidence that Disney is going full speed ahead in their quest to “queer” their content is on display with the release of their new young adult fantasy series “Willow,” a streaming series remake of an 80’s era YA movie.

In an interview with Polygon, an online magazine, producer Jonathan Kasdan explains how pleased he is to take the next step of bringing queer content to Disney’s predominantly young audience.

Polygon: How did a queer relationship come to be the core of this show? When did it enter the process and was there any pushback?

Jonathan Kasdan: There was no pushback. What’s interesting is — I hope and I believe we’re at a moment where you’re going to see a paradigm shift in that. And hopefully, the way that it’s gonna happen is that these kinds of [queer] stories, particularly like this one, that were just organic to the narrative we were telling, find their way in, and it becomes less of a surprising and unusual thing to see.

Because it’s a part of the landscape of the world around us, just like the diversity elements of casting. If you look at the original Willow, by no fault of anyone, it’s not very diverse. And as we enter 2022, the world has changed, in the way we’re absorbing entertainment, and the faces we’re reflecting in entertainment have expanded enormously, and we hope the show can be growing as the world grows. Just as, frankly, the movie was.

Of course there was no pushback from Disney. In fact, “queering” their content has been a major priority for Disney for quite a while. This actually developed into something of a scandal a few months back as Zoom recordings caught major figures at the company discussing their secret quest to “queer” the company.

Disney isn’t changing its goals to indoctrinate children; they are just trying to change the Narrative from one that hurts their business to one that doesn’t.

Disney, as a private company, has every right to go down this path. As somebody who has never been a Disney fanatic, even with the old classics, this literally effects me not at all. And if parents have no problem with this, that is fine too. If Disney decided to become a promoter of Scientology or even Satanism I would shake my head and worry about the soul of our nation, but I worry about the soul of our nation anyway.

But I do think parents who aren’t super happy about the cultural elite promoting a moral agenda that doesn’t fit with their values should pay careful attention to what media their kids consume. Disney may believe that this is a natural evolution in the moral landscape–and perhaps it is–but not every parent who has counted on Disney to entertain their kids may agree.

Disney is banking that their cultural capital will make this transition painless, and of that I am pretty sure they are mistaken. A lot of parents are fed with with their kids being propagandized, and as the video above shows, that is exactly what is happening.
