    Can you be Woke and Neutral?

  2. I love Disney

    Staying neutral is not an option because neutral means you are a bigot and a racist, among other things. The piranhas among the left are not to be pacified by apologies, promises, or even financial contributions. They are the judge, jury and executioner, and people condemned by them have no possibility of parole.
    Nevertheless, Disney has no real worry. People will still continue to consume Disney products like they are going to die from covid tomorrow.
    I mean, which hurts most Disney fans more? The Don’t Say Gay bill, or the cost of Genie+? And since Genie+ hasn’t stopped the parks from being stuffed full of people, Disney can back 10 more Don’t Say Gay bills and it won’t make a dent to the company’s bottom line.
    And it won’t make a dent on Bob Chapek either.

    About time!

    You can’t be neutral and still lean toward the left. Neutral is the middle ground and you follow no agenda. The only agenda that Disney, or any other entertainment source, should follow is to entertain. Stay out of politics. Walt’s vision for Disneyland and Disney World was to build a place that families could enjoy, parents and kids alike. My parents took me, as my wife and I have taken our kid. I loved it as a kid and I have loved it as I can relive my Disney memories through my kid’s eyes. Walt’s vision for the Disney parks was back when everything these people are crying about now was taboo. Walt would roll in his grave if he knew what the company has twisted into. His goal was wholesome family entertainment, Bob Paycheck only sees money. The LGBTQOICU812 community should keep it neutral and stop displaying how they choose to live. No one really cares, we, the straight folk, just don’t want to see it. Just like the only people keeping racism alive are the ones that complain about it. No one cares. They need to stop their walkout and protest and get back to contributing to society be going back to work.

    Politics + corporate $ = government corruption

    Neutrality by Disney and other media corporations is appropriate.

    1. Disney Employee talent

      The only people wanting neutrality are the people who think that allowing others to have equal rights is somehow taking from them, which is exactly what they’ve had all along. Neutrality is propping up the status quo which is their straight, zealatous ways.

      1. M

        Who does not have equal rights in the country?

      2. Cinthia

        They need to stay neutral keep politics out of Disney!! I agree with this statement fully

  6. I love Disney

    I know what Bob Chapek should do. He should move the Burbank headquarters, where hundreds walked out, to Florida.

    [Sarc] Pedo World! Come feel the magic!
    Someone, somewhere will eventually create a NEW, more appropriate park to American values and its citizens, cartoons etc., and that will be the end to this particular nightmare.
    As for right now I’m thinking “parents” should be “investigated” who bring their kids to such a place. Sick.

    1. Hillary C

      Yeah…parents should quit bringing their kids to Disney parks where liberal pedos run amok with no one stopping them.

      I think the smartest idea and safest place to take them…especially for boys aged 8-15…would be your nearest Catholic church. What could ever happen there?

    2. AmericanbyGod

      Just canceled our May trip to Disney. For a fraction of the cost of that one trip we just got our family of three one year season passes for Dollywood. Free parking with gold season pass and discounts on all food and merch. So sick of Disney’s woke politics and price gouging…like covid didn’t hurt anyone else other than the Disney executives. You want family friendly and American values? Dollywood is about as close as you’ll get.

    Disney needs to stay neutral. It keeps both sides of the camps happy. Their job is to entertain and create a magical place where families can get away from the stress of this world. This country is made up of all kinds of people. When you choose sides it, it forces people to decide if they want to support a company that goes against their own values. Keep it neutral Disney!

    1. Hillary C

      yeah, they should pretend the LGBTQ community doesn’t exist as to not offend the fragile and oft persecuted straight white community.

      But for those who think they should go neutral I guess you’d agree they should eliminate the Candle Light Procession, right? I mean a Disney sponsored offering described as “recounting the biblical tale of a savior born in Bethlehem” could really go against the values of all the atheist values. I mean, their values are equally important correct?

      1. Lorenzo

        So you’re equating a seasonal event recognizing a family holiday that 95% of Americans enjoy with a full-blown long-term political take-over of a company that promotes an agenda with which very few Americans agree? Keep in mind, the company depends on families (guessing a majority of whom lean conservative in their views) buying tickets, movies, and merchandise. No, given the consumer base and the values the company is built-on, Disney is no place for LGBTQ activism. Do it on your own time and stop trying to brainwash our children!

        1. lochhead

          very well said sir.anyone shoving this infront of a child should be arrested its totally satanic.

    2. Matthew Muir

      You’re sadly right, Kristy. What’s the point in trying to appease EITHER side 🙁

      And I don’t think it’s JUST Disney. Other studios have also (perhaps to a lesser extent) added to this mess. How come most people give universal a pass?

    3. Matthew Muir

      And the best hope of that happening is customers voting with their wallets enough for shareholders to vote for a new board and a new CEO

      1. Common Sense

        The insanity of all of this is we are asking to keep any form of sexuality out of the classroom for 5-9 year olds. Who would have thought that was a bigoted idea? Walt has to be rolling in his grave. It would be nice if they would look to the advice of their founder that was all about the family. The world has gone mad…

        1. lochhead

          i dont think walt would be rolling in his grave he was an luciferian occultist .

    These “Disney Employees” state “they agree with the FL policies” yet “want to remain neutral”. If these even are Disney employees it appears they “fear retaliation”. This is the same MAGAt victim/persecution complex we’ve seen over and over. Those complaining about wokeness are far more annoying than “woke” people.

    Generally those complaining about “wokeness” are upset that their bigoted, racist, ignorant comments are being called out and they feel threatened. Good. Replace these lazy bigots with Ukrainians and other immigrants. Ask them to wear their red hats so they are easier to identify.

    1. Tom

      Pretty much, racists use the new right wing hotness of “neutrality” or “fairness.” It’s easy to say that when your privileged life gave you tons of advantages.

      1. lochhead

        bs.just because you are right wing does not makes you rascist the far left marxists are racists and bigots and fachists who hate white people calling white people priveledged aswell is extremly rascist.

    2. Lin

      Interestingly enough no identifying articles of clothing needed for liberals. Their angry, “we need cosmetic diversity not diversity of thought” attitude stands out on its own

    3. Lorenzo

      Big difference between agreeing with the new law and blackmailing your employer into endorsing it (or publicly condemning it). Disney sought, for the majority of its history, to stay out of politics for good reason…it impacts the bottom line and creates a hostile work environment. As for Ukrainians, maybe you should get to know a few because traditional family values, including traditional male and female roles, are engrained into the culture. The harsh reality is gays are hated and transexuals are harassed, attacked, and killed; if they dare to come-out. Disney employees should never get paid to exercise their freedom of speech on work time and the company should’ve fired each one of those entitled grifters the second they walked-out. Oh, and leave our kids alone!

  10. Ashton

    We need to have a cancel (literally)Disney day, where we take videos of ourselves canceling our Disney+ subscriptions and post it online. I’d you don’t have a subscription, burn Disney merch. They only care about money. Whoever posed the biggest threat to their bottom line is who they’ll listen to

    I will be boycotting Disney because they don’t support parents being able to be parents. The state should NOT be your children’s parents.

  12. Tam

    NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT SEX OTHER THAN THEIR PARENTS! NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU DO BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, THERE FOR IT SHOULD NOT BE TAUGHT IN ANY SCHOOL AT ANY AGE. YOUR CHOICE OF HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE IS YOURS AND NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT FROM YOU OR WANTS TO. NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDREN , NO ONE HAD TO TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL WHOM YOU WOULD BE WITH OR WHO YOU WILL LOVE, IF YOU ARE BI, GAY, STRAIGHT, TRANS OR ANYTHING ELSE NO ONE TAUGHT YOU. SO DON’T LET YOUR CHOICES BECOME THE CHILDREN’S CLASSROOM TEACHINGS. THE CLASSROOM IS FOR READING, WRITING AND LEARNING SKILLS TO GET THEM THROUGH LIFE AND NO ONE’S SEXUAL PREFERENCE SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

  13. Tam

    The state is not trying to be the parents, Desantis is trying to stop it from being taught in schools, Disney is trying to let it happen.

    1. lochhead

      disney is controlled by the same cabal who controls the state it does not make a difference .

  14. lochhead

    people are fed up with this communist garbage

  15. Lori

    Disney is supposef to be for entertaining and an escape from the real world. I am not going on vacation to talk politics or choose a side. Disney should avoid politics and do what it does best — entertain people — ALL people.

    Hobby Lobby has had a hyper-conservative agenda for several years, but the women who complained were often made to feel that their jobs were at risk. The ability for a company to have a religious view and identify itself as an individual has completely corrupted the corporate structure. If you don’t want “progressive” businesses, then you have to get rid of Christian businesses. Neutrality is just that. Are you ready to give up the ability to identify as a Christian business? If so, let’s talk. Let’s go at Disney and tell them they must exhibit the same neutrality others have now committed to…but we know that’s not going to happen. So for every Hobby Lobby, there’s a Disney. It is what it is.
