Re: Bob Chapek Named CEO of The Walt Disney Company
I find it really interesting that apparently higher-ups warned Chapek against backing Strange World for having a gay character, and I'm even more surprised that this article is playing it like that was just another mistake Chapek made. Like ... whose side are they on?

The wrong side. Chapek made the right choice to have a gay character in Strange World.PatchofBlue wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:40 am I find it really interesting that apparently higher-ups warned Chapek against backing Strange World for having a gay character, and I'm even more surprised that this article is playing it like that was just another mistake Chapek made.

Yeah, when I read that, I was thinking, it's the 2020s, it's about damn time we get a gay character...it wasn't a mistake at all.PatchofBlue wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 8:40 am I find it really interesting that apparently higher-ups warned Chapek against backing Strange World for having a gay character, and I'm even more surprised that this article is playing it like that was just another mistake Chapek made.

Social goals I get, but who is disagreeing with their environmental goals? I dont even know them.

Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm.

So, how's rooting for Team Florida going now that they couldn't win the nomination for US President and could lose to an appeals court like Carano and Musk will, even in the first round?carolinakid wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:20 am Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm.

I saw this coming after a federal judge dismissed Disney's claim. Disney appealed, but their chances getting the judgement overturned were slim. As we all know, Disney only settles when they're losing.

Disney surrenders!
Maybe now Disney can concentrate on ridding itself of wokeness, lowering theme park prices and improving the guest experience. One can dream...

Re: Bob Chapek Named CEO of The Walt Disney Company
There was nothing unjust about that firing, when you work for a company, and you make them look bad by putting your seriously bad takes out there like that, this is what's going to happen, and you will probably have deserved it. Freedom of speech does not apply here. That is about government, not your employeer.carolinakid wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:20 am Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm.
