The Federal Communications Commission is investigating ABC and its parent company Disney over its diversity, equity and inclusion actions, FCC Chair Brendan Carr announced Friday.
Considering that the “Woke” Live action Snow White has flopped pretty hard, I’m guessing they’ll try aiming for CHUD audiences next. There just isn’t as much money in empty pandering as there used to be.
Honestly, I can’t see the diehard Disney Adult people actually stopping their support for the company, even if they start doing remasters of Little Black Sambo and Song of the South.
Idk, it’s not just the wallets but their employees as well. Disney has for many years now, in typical neoliberal fashion, been supportive of their employees’ individual struggles in leu(sp?) of financial support. I could see it going both ways, but they’ve long put up with boycotts and things from the religious right knowing that their employees would work themselves to death for the limited “freedom and support” to live authentically.
Maybe, but cheap labour is cheap labour, doesn’t really matter whether they are a devoted diehard Disney fanatic or an immigrant labourer, either way they’re being paid $6 an hour to get heatstroke in the hot California sun. Though I guess if the Parks employees are too “ethnic” the right will just boycott them anyway, so it certainly is playing with fire, they probably don’t have any good options anymore. (Well, apart from actually putting effort into their movies again, but they’re never going to do that).
They’re about to drop the whole “this video contains representation that was wrong then and it’s wrong now” message at the beginning of all their old stuff
Curious to see if Disney rolls over for their white supremacy roots or fights for that sweet, sweet representation
