    It does not even make sense for Disney to be anti-DEI if their target audience is the entire world!

          Humanity is diverse, but there is a tendency to hate on those different to us, since time immemorial.

            From my perception, people do not necessarily hate others who are different, but hates it when there are “too many foreigners”.

        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.

          What does DEI mean in respect to Disney, does it just mean changing existing characters to their non-white equivalent?

          Ok, but how does this like vibe with a country like China, which demands that Disney and other western media companies censor LGBT things all the time?

        DEI= Diversity, equity, inclusion you might be surprised to discover all three of those are of varying import to various societies.

      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
