Quoted without comment, from the link that Mike posted:

How many more god damn letters are they going to add to that lgbt acronym.

I mean Jesus it might as well be LGBTQIAMOUSE.

When it comes to alphabet-people demands, there's a difference between openness and acceptance, versus obsession and compulsion.

Disney executives like many other c-suite types, are lost. They've opened the door to the gay-obsessives, unable to comprehend the greater impact of their decisions as they run rampant.

They may have openness, but from me they don't get acceptance. I won't castigate or harm them, but I also won't develop close relations with them. And I certainly don't support them trying to influence children to adopt their insanity.

The worst part is reading articles that use the acronym LGBTQ every time, eschewing pronouns.
Like saying president Joe Biden every time instead of say, he.

In a car driving through Romania with Romanian friends. Played this for them. Said one, “This is exactly like the self-criticism sessions from the Communist era. We grew up with it. ‘Comrades, I promise to be more faithful to the Revolution.’”

NEW: Disney CEO Bob Chapek grovels, apologizes, and pledges to "be a better ally for the LGBTQ+ community." He delegated the company's moral authority to the "LGBTQIA+ Advisory Council" and now those internal activists have taken him as an ideological hostage.

There is an explanation for Disney's war on children
By Andrea Widburg

Very often, when companies go woke, it turns out that the wokeness is a cover for changing market forces. That is, they're not alienating traditional demographics; they're reflecting that their money is coming from new demographics. When it comes to Hollywood and the NBA, for example, the big bucks are coming from China, not America. And when it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn't children; it's young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up.

The brilliant Daniel Greenfield makes this point in an article entitled "Disney's Business Model is Turning Kids into Dysfunctional Adults: Its customer base isn't kids. It's messed up adults." Greenfield, as always, has done the research, and, in the case of Disney, he points to the fact that Disney's most fanatic consumers are in the over 18 demographic:

Disney isn't for kids anymore. Its movie business is dominated by Marvel blockbusters. Half of Disney+ subscribers, its big bet on the home streaming future, are adults with no children.

What about the theme parks?

60% of Disneyland visitors were adults with no children. Only 36.7% of Disney World visitors had children under 18. The largest demographic for the theme parks, like the movies, are millennials. They are also members of the fandoms who are likeliest to spend money on licensed merchandise, and on toys and movie tie-ins that are Disney's bread and butter.

And Disney is rapidly adapting with theme parks and resorts that emphasize its Marvel and Star Wars properties more than classic fare. Its Galactic Starcruiser hotel, aimed at Star Wars fans, costs $4,809 for two adults. Why bother with kid stuff when you can sell $13 beers?

Mr. and Mrs. Middle America, who care deeply about their children growing up to be happy, healthy, normal adults, aren't Disney's target market. Instead, Disney is directing its resources to the same dysfunctional adults you see screaming on college campuses because their professor forgot to give them a trigger warning before exposing them to the work of an awful, cisgender, heterosexual White male like William Shakespeare.

While Disney's customers once wept because they needed a bottle, a diaper change, and a nap, its current target demographic become hysterical if someone uses the wrong pronouns in their presence. It's these people who, having been bombarded since 2008 with messages about alternative sexualities, genders, and lifestyles, and other non-traditional, non-child-oriented messages, have embarked upon a crusade to bring up the next generation in accordance with their "new normal." Or as Greenfield writes:

Disney's new demographic are adults who have never properly grown up and on some level still think of themselves as children. That's also the profile for the average child molester. And of the kind of adult who insists that schools force children to "explore their sexual identities".

Healthy adults raise, protect and care for children. Deeply unhealthy ones erase the barriers between themselves and children in ways that can be merely immature or outright evil.

(And for some reason — and I'm saying this based on my personal observations — people on the LGBTQ+++ spectrum are especially attracted to Disney and have been for as long as I can remember.)

What helps push Disney in this direction is America's declining birthrate (with our population propped up by births to immigrants and illegal aliens). Back in the day, Disney marketed to Boomers. Now, with Millennials eschewing children and, instead, living themselves as perpetual children, it's only logical for Disney to market itself to groomers. To keep itself viable, it needs lots of new groomers:

Disney still has a profitable kids segment, but its real profits come from overgrown children born into broken families, prematurely coming of sexual age, who are eager to embrace leftist utopian causes and fantasies, who are seeking an identity and an escape at the same time.

The company isn't for kids, it's for broken adults. And it's only natural that Disney would seek to create more broken adults to perpetuate its business model. A healthy functional adult isn't nearly as profitable for the entertainment giant as a dysfunctional one addicted to its product.

Disney may have changed from charming to creepy, but it's doing what thinks it needs to do to stay alive.

There are alternatives, though. The Daily Wire still believes there is a market out there for quality, intelligent children's products. It's investing $100 million over the next few years to create wholesome, intelligent fare for children. Meanwhile, Dennis Prager's Kids Watch has already created dozens of fun videos for children that entertain even as they educate about American history, great men and women, and traditional values.

The saddest thing about Disney's decision is that, for millions of Americans who came of age in the 20th century, Disney is sullying their memories and destroying a world of innocence and beauty that they always believed they'd be able to hand down to their children and grandchildren.

We were supposed to go to Disney this fall for the first time for my kids. With the liberal dbags doing what they do, we are opting to do a cruise instead. It's sad they have completely ruined the brand. My Aunt's best friend is pretty high up in Disney and the LGBTQ+%$# people already tried pushing him out because he is a straight white man.

These people are so damned incoherent. That used to be called bisexual. No doubt though that when confronted with this obvious disjointed redundancy, they'll tell you, "no no, they're different!" And then proceed with an equally incoherent explanation as to why.

Screw these freaking people. I have zero tolerance for this absurd nonsense.

I cannot, or do not want to, keep track anymore. This shit pisses me off and I do not even have children.

Idle curiosity makes me wonder what the I and the A stand for. Not enough to search for it though. That articles seems like a likely explanation.

They all have a pathological desire to be 'special.' Hence, the alphabet soup of acronyms. Then, when you don't recognize and applause their 'distinctness,' they lose their minds.

Yeah, they're special.

Just like everybody else in the world.

Can we call them "pan humpers"?

I didn't like Disney World in 1983 when I was 11 years old. The rides sucked except Space Mountain, everything had a commercial tie-in, and I didn't like the Disney characters.

I liked Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL with the Warner Brothers characters (Buggs, Daffy, Taz, Martian, etc.) and awesome roller coasters, MUCH better.

Sure I saw the various classic Disney cartoons as a kid because my mom took us to the re-runs in the $1.50 theater. And I liked Aladdin in the 90's because it was Robin Williams as the Genie. But overall I never liked Disney's message - the divine right of kings, every girl is a princess, etc.

Including and since "The Little Mermaid" I didn't show any of it to my son. We watched all the Pixar movies with him as he grew up until he was about 13 or so when he lost interest. Cars was his favorite, and most of the Pixar stuff was good for all ages and has minimal woke silliness. Mosters Inc., Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Toy Story - all good. Maybe that's changed in the past few years, I haven't seen any of the movies since Finding Dory I think was the last one.

Stuff like Despicable Me, Minions, Kung Fu Panda, and Big Hero 6 were better than Disney too. Really, traditional Disney animated movies are for girls (except Disney won't say girl now). That became painfully obvious when a former girlfriend's 6 year old daughter was obssessed with all things "Frozen". It gets old really fast.

Sure my son likes Star Wars and Marvel, most teenage boys do. But for the last few years, we've watched stuff he likes better now - the great war movies, mob movies, and recently Tarantino stuff. He's 18 now and losing interest in "kid's stuff".

ADDED:

The have to say pan-sexual because it includes "all" genders. The term bi-sexual implies that there are two binary genders, which of course there are, but the insane woke cannot admit that.

Since I'm single I am on some dating sites, and the women that call themselves "pan" or "bi" or in an "open relationship" are usually fat, unattractive, with weird color hair and piercings like septum rings. They are clearly emotionally unstable attention seekers with low self esteem. It gets really annoying when men pretending to be women (trans or whatever) set up women's profiles. If I sign up as a man looking for women to date, I am not looking for men pretending to be women. If I see one I report it as a fake account and block it.

Ya know, Andrew Dice Clay used to have a great comedy response to the term 'bisexual'. It would work just as well for pansexual, which is also BS.

Holy SH*T it's going to happen!
