The Walt Disney Company appears to be scaling back its DEI initiatives according to its latest SEC filing – and activist investors are pushing the entertainment conglomerate to go even further.

Disney dropped its "Reimagine Tomorrow" program from their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion section of its 2024 SEC 10-K report. The program was mentioned in the 2023 report, which defines the program as "the Company’s digital destination for amplifying underrepresented voices and features some of Disney’s DE&I commitments and actions." The program hosted a controversial 2022 leaked "all-hands" meeting in which a Disney executive touting her "not at all secret gay agenda."

"On my little pocket of Proud Family Disney TVA, the showrunners were super welcoming… our leadership over there has been super welcoming to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda… they’re going hard… I don’t have to be afraid to have these two characters kiss in the background. I was just, wherever I could, adding queerness," executive producer Latoya Raveneau said at the time.

Disney’s "Reimagine Tomorrow" webpage, which is still active, says its mission is "amplifying underrepresented voices and untold stories as well as championing the importance of accurate representation in media and entertainment."

The page also lists racial and gender breakdowns of their content and workforce as of 2021 and boasts of their Business Employee Research Groups which represent employees from different ethnic backgrounds.

Appears is the operative word.

Disney is garbage.

DISNEY IS TOXIC AND GAY 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The Godless Reprobate Democrats doing the work of their lord and master Satan - quite literally - at every opportunity

There is a determined effort to normalize this all over the world 🌏🌎🌍.
I am encouraging people not to attend nor support this stuff. 

Just like those blindly following a false prophet
preaching a 'post-Christian' America




The apostasy and the Days of Lot are upon us.

As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.


Do NO harm, Christians, but reject this Godless Reprobate Agenda.
(For the thread)

Maybe Disney is hiding their DEI programs.

Key words in context.

Sorry. It’s a done deal to me. Disney is to be shunned like an Amish whore wearing buttons and jewelry.

But they are still going to inflict "Snow White and the Seven CGI Abominations" on the world.

Go poison apple!

Too little, too late.

“Appears” is code for “changed the name of and moved departments”.

If they fire most, if not all, of their leadership then “maybe” they would ACTUALLY appear to be speaking truth.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

What Disney needs to do is to restore all the cuts they made to prior movies in the name of political correctness, and remove, then redo all of the woke stuff they made recently and hide all the originals of the woke stuff they did in a deep, dark closet of shame, never to be seen again except from shady vendors at Furry conventions.

Jon #1. Make money for shareholders. I find the embracing of LGBT equally as egregious.

Until Disney re-releases the original “Song of the South” will I considered them watchable.

This stuff has already cost Disney north of $30 billion dollars in the last 5 years alone.

Shareholders ought to launch a massive law suit over this failure to protect profits.

After spending over $450 million on it, they have no choice...

But they do.

There is the concept of throwing good money after bad.

Just stop, scrap the whole thing and take a tax write off.

In a few years, if you MUST make a live action Snow White, you can start again.

Yeah - we've noticed.

I guess they think they can maybe break even overseas. They managed to make The Little Mermaid less of a disaster with overseas sales.

They thought that with "The Marvels" and lost 237 million on that bet.
