      Unfortunately the Trump admin want them to behave a certain way, and anything different is seen as them being mean, apparently.

        Looking forward to that “Failing Disney and nasty, perverted Mickey Mouse, going around in shorts” post on Truth Social. If there’s one corporation that might even take Donnie down it’s Disney. Kinda like Kong vs Dumbzilla

      How does that follow? Do you think most of the world is pro-DEI?

        anti-DEI is pretty much code for “only white straight cisgendered males welcome”. Whatever criticisms may make sense against select DEI initiatives, the anti-DEI move by the government basically involved erasing all acknowledgement of any minority or woman ever being honored for accomplishments, no matter how obviously well earned the honor was.

        On a global perspective, the American flavor of “anti-DEI” panders to a relatively small group of folks at the expense of offending the vast majority of the world’s population.

        Disney princesses are DEI. Why should they distance themselves from their most recognizable/successful marketing tactics?
