Apparently, Disney is going to take a step back on its progressive policies and focus on entertainment. Yeah well, we’ll see how long that lasts – or if it ever even begins.
In an investors meeting Tuesday, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger told investors that Disney will “quiet the noise” amid the smorgasbord of backlash the company has received from being so incredibly woke. Disney has been on the chopping block for a few years now, and, supposedly, this is their attempt to allocate roughly $60 billion to get out of hot water.
In 2022, Disney became the center of the culture wars when it criticized Florida legislation that limited inappropriate LGBTQ related discussions in school classrooms. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) bashed the company calling it “woke Disney” and worked “with the state legislature to strip it of self-governing authority over the parks,” as Yahoo Finance reported Wednesday.
Since the start of their nosedive into progressivism, Disney has released more and more woke garbage. Whether its through LGBTQ characters in shows, giant celebrations for “pride,” hiring actors based on skin color or gender identity or reframing works for social justice warriors sensitivities, Disney has strayed away from the classic stories and magic we all once knew and loved.
