Literally their writing staff for the novel-series actively talks about whiteness and the extremist kind of social justice rhetoric. But moderate views on the other side need to be censored for "extremism".

yes, I'm just saying that if it's "just about money", how Disney's "perception" arrived at the conclusion that this act would make them money, or save them from losing money? I'm convinced the math doesn't work in their favor, unless one throws in a large wildcard value/variable for "Immune to criticism about fascist versions of Lion King in China due to woke shield".
The reality is for companies this rich-- uber rich-- it's actually worth taking the small financial loss imho if it makes you immune to larger macro criticism of how you run your business.

Every other Hollywood faggot can scream Nazi at conservatives, but the moment an actual correlation between Nazism and the leftist movement is made suddenly it’s “abhorrent behavior”.
Suck my fucking dick you leftist hypocrites.

You keep framing this in brands. Disney works with a country committing systemic genocide. It is actively lobbying to prevent the state department from labeling mass rape and actual concentration camps as acts of genocide so it doesn't lose market access.
Are you saying those dirty DRUMPFERS are worse than that?
Its not about "brand", its about their political enemies and finding excuses to remove them from any platform.

Actually, her constant trickle-up weight gain and an increasing dependency on Restylane and Juvaderm might have eventually ended things for her without Disney's intervention. Her face is starting to look like every chick on "Real Housewives of X" as they reach season three and suddenly think that ten grand in facial fillers will further catapult their careers.

what do you have against Gina? she's the prettiest girl in all of MMA and was undefeated until she fought a she-man, then got sad and spent a bit too much time at the buffett, chunked up but still got gigs in hollywood, and aside from the 3ppl that train in bjj, she could kick everyones ass on the board.
most female mma fighters are pro team lesbo too!

You're correct. Disney has intentionally positioned themselves as a left-of-center brand. She intentionally deviated from that branding, was likely warned ahead of time, and was actioned for it.
This is not really about politics as much as it is about brand management.

So just to be clear, you think the whiny libtards who bullied Disney to kick her to the curb are paying for Disney Services? And not the conservatives who would be angered by their move?
I respectfully disagree.
By firing her they inserted themselves into the conversation. What they had before was a bunch of people who probably aren't even customers trying to drag them into it. They really fucked up if they're worried about money. They'll have 10x the cancellations because of this bullshit than they would if they would just ignore it. Thing is, the people who made that decision think Disney already has enough money. Like 0 said. At a certain point, you've made enough $$

Yeah, that worked out great for them. Went from all the fan goodwill you could have to a smoldering pile of rubble.which of the other 8 planets do you reside in? b/c it's not earth
they are the instigators
But that isn't what I meant. I meant all this other stuff. The mask stuff, election stuff, etc. They don't want to be involved in that, or at least don't want the perception to be that they are involved in that.
This is the future that capitalists wanted!

This has nothing to do with politics? You are so fucking naive to how large corporations function.

Imagine being so naive that you're still thinking that this kind of political activism from corps in 2021 is based around "brand", "revenue" or "profit".
Facebook, Twitter and others have shown that they have no problem taking hits to their brand, losing users, losing subscribers, losing revenue if they can promote their political agenda.

Multinational corporations worth hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars have no long term goals or plans and the business choices their high level executives make are done willy nilly with no thought about how it aligns with their long term goals.

They have shareholders. They are legally beholden to those shareholders to make those shareholders as much money as possible.
You're wrong.

Star Wars did such a good job in managing their brand that this punk move transcended their shitty nu-star wars films and is now a broad political discussion, being discussed across various genres by normies and #cancel disney+ has been trending on twitter ever since. every bit of goodwill they generated with the mando show, including CGIwalker in the s2 finale is gone. everything reset back to The Last Jedi now. fuck these people.

Twitter banned a user with 80,000,000+ followers who singlehandedly saved their platform from the 30 quarters of red ink they've been living in.

LMAO, shut the fuck up you dumb lesbian.
Political power and ingratiation to one ruling party beats out whatever the fucking "shareholders" think. Like Zuckerberg gives a fuck about shareholder concerns as he bans every right wing page, right wing advertising, right wing users, etc.
