    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).
