Now there’s this:

One character that has been the focus of discussions about LGBTQ+ representation is Luke Skywalker. In June 2022, a short story was published in Stories of the Jedi and Sith, in which Luke Skywalker was depicted as being attracted to a man. This story is now part of Disney’s Star Wars canon.

“Writer Sam Maggs, hired by Disney’s Star Wars,” the report continues, “openly admits to including queer characters in her work as part of her mission to promote LGBTQ+ representation in the media.”

It’s one thing to include gay characters, whatever. It’s quite another to ret-con a decidedly straight character like Luke just to send a message to old fans. And that message is: “Everything you love, we can destroy.”

If you watch Star Wars on Disney+ now, did they replace John Williams’ really good music with tracks from the Village People?

Do you know who isn’t getting the boot? Disney+ producer Latoya Raveneau, who admits to pushing a “gay agenda” by “adding queerness” to children’s programming wherever she can.

Gee, why are we losing subscribers?!

“But the real news is that the formerly family-friend studio lost 2.4 million streaming subscribers — and has no plan to end the woke programming that drove them away.”
****************************************************

Disney has become nothing more than a propaganda outlet putting “woke” before profit. Their shareholders can’t be too happy about that.

Disney employs 80 million people? Where is a math Nazi when you need one?

Destroying themselves because of their blind hatred for traditionally NORMAL America would be poetic justice.

GO WOKE, GO BROKE!

Disney is now controlled by sex addicts who want to convince children to engage in felation relation. After all they are just monkeys with money.

DeSantis is ringing their bell by returning governance of Disney World to the State.

The loss has nothing to do with woke programming. Disney+Hotstar lost 3.8 million subscribers in India because they lost the rights to Indian Permier League cricket. They actually added subscribers in USA and Canada.

"Creative" Wokesters are the worst. Why? They take beloved stories, movies and characters that we all grew up with and loved and somehow claim them for their own and inflict their own warped fan-fiction agenda on them. They then peddle it out like it has anything to do with the source material (which they loath).

It's like character-abuse or movie-abuse or mental-abuse to the fans.

Gave up dizzy decades ago for other reasons, will stay disengaged. Sadly, there are some folks that will not be persuaded. And will still dump thousands taking the kiddies. As in other issues, maybe 10-15% of folks pay attention. Butt, funny dog tiktoks. 🙄

“Everything you love, we can destroy.”

That sums up the goal of the woke movement.

… It’s one thing to include gay characters…

If you happen to be gay chances are you are going to promote everything as gay (kinda like hanging out at a gay bar).
