Hiding behind the notion of leaving sexual education to the parents is the same old narrative that my country used to erase LGBTQ+ representation from media and ban sex ed from schools. Good job, Disney, you have the same morals as a right-wing dictator. Which is not surprising given the history of the brand.

At least they are consistent, Bobby boy said “he would quiet the noise” of the culture war back in 2023, so congrats, I guess?

To be honest, I’m not surprised and not disappointed, I just hope that more and more people realize that these companies are not our allies and never were. Under the veneer of being progressive their sole purpose is to make money for investors and they would throw anyone under the bus to make that happen. Today it’s trans people, tomorrow some other marginalized group. Business as usual.

Pixar is a garbage company. They are known for being sexist af, and theres also John Lasseter who was harassing basically everyone there, even executives.

And the character was named Kai? Someone knew what they were talking about with this one.

This would have been great to have, and I’m sure many would have been able to relate to it (including me). So of course it got removed. Common Disney L

Universal removed the absolute best part of the Lorax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW2w-DFNMUU

Cartoon Network almost cancelled Steven Universe for the gay wedding episode.

And there are numerous other examples going back through the history of cartoons.

Corporate board members do not care to empathize with the working class.

of course they did. fucking wuss.

this is why you can only trust indies/niche/small companies for queer representation. art and profit can never go together.

That post US election narrative, where all these shitty mainstream media talking heads threw trans people under the bus by claiming the Democrats lost because they were “too progressive” and pandered to “woke LGBT,” is really letting all these companies go fully mask off and openly embrace it. Got the same thing last month with HBO/WB going "TERF islander has the right to express her personal views" when just a year ago with that Hogswart’s Legacy game, the same company was still promising that Rowling had no involvement.

I mean, fuck me, I shouldn’t have expected anything else really and it’s ultimately unsurprising how artificial all this corporate America LGBT “solidarity” is turning out to be, but, genuinely, it’s so unnerving how synchronized these collective mask off moments always end up being. Same exact hivemind media-in-lockstep shit they do in foreign policy like with disavowing Palestinians after Oct 7 and now supporting Syrian Al-Qaeda. Turns out, all they were waiting for is for something to “normalize it” and that’s exactly what this whole “we lost the popular vote because we weren’t parading around that war criminal spawn Liz Cheney enough” spin from the DNC ratfuckers has done.

we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.

That’d be great, if they actually had those conversations and explained things. Mine certainly didn’t.

First Moon Girl and now this huh? It took only a decade to shove us back into the closet, I barely had any hope for these rainbow capitalists but damn

Transphobes in the comments saying “this would confuse the children” like there are no trans children who are already confused and would be much less confused if the world acknowledged their experience.

I hate this timeline

Never trust the cis!

Cowards.

Dammit, Pixar is the least cringe part of Disney.
