DIS - The Walt Disney Company (NYSE)

Disney is a corporation not a person so they should not necessarily automatically be treated the same or have the same rights as a person. But anyway its besides the point. Disney is there to make profits for its shareholders not to be politically activist for its own sake. They need to stay in their lane (as should the other woke companies).
firstly Corporate free speech is protected, secondly do you know how many corporations out there in the USA make political donations and are heavily involved in politics for terrible reasons, I don't think signing a petition against something that affect so many of their employees and customers is a problem.

I think the number of gays has always been the same, people just used to hide it, and go into loveless marriages.

Why does it bother you so much?

I don't think you have a problem with Disney as much as you just have a problem with society changing. just deal with it and live your own life, focus on what makes you happy, and let others focus on what makes them happy.

um...

Corporate personhood or juridical personality is the legal notion that a juridical person such as a corporation, separately from its associated human beings (like owners, managers, or employees), has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons. In most countries, a corporation has the same rights as a natural person to hold property, enter into contracts, and to sue or be sued

Not to mention that in Florida, where the issue was happening, Disney was more than a corporation, they were a city/county, called the reedy creek improvement district, so were their own local government. And had been 55 years since they bought land their equal to 2 x the size of New York City.

Ron Desantis used his political power to try and silence Disney, which is unconstitutional but that’s how America rolls these days.

There are over 100 other districts owned by corporations in Florida, but some how the only ones Desantis has a problem with are the ones that disagree with him.

Elon musk is in the process of setting up his own city for his space ex company.

I have a problem with wokeness. Like the dumb Gillette add years ago that tried to insult their customer base and temporarily tanked sales for the company. Nobody wants to see that retarded ****. Its neither funny nor entertaining and all it does is alienate the customer base of the company.





Elsewhere, an episode of “Muppet Babies” depicts Gonzo — a bird-like creature originally thought to be a boy — struggling to tell his friends that he wants to wear a dress to a party.

“He ultimately rejects societal norms and his biology by cross-dressing as the princess named ‘Gonzo-rella,’ whom the other Muppets celebrate,” Rubinstein wrote in the letter, which was sent to Disney executives Wednesday morning.

As example of that: On Disney+, classics like “Peter Pan,” “Dumbo” and “The Aristocats” each feature “mandatory, unskippable twelve-second warnings about the ‘harmful impact’ of certain portrayals of people and cultures that “were wrong then and are wrong now,” according to AFL’s letter.

The “Rise up, Sing Out” cartoon — which is featured on Disney Junior, designed for viewers aged two through seven — also shows Black characters warning peers “that police might try to stop him on the street because he is Black,” per the note, which was penned to Disney chief Bob Iger and board chair Mark Parker.
 
We are moving towards a world in which low budget anybodies will be able to create their own movies through AI.

I think Disney theme parks and such would do well. I question the movie side.

I reckon if we went back 60 years you would be offended by the wokeness of that time, that was suggesting racially separated schools should be abolished.

Just recently a lady I know was saying that her daughter who is in kindergarten came home one day and said "Mommy I don't know if I want to marry a boy or a girl when I grow up". I wonder who put this idea in her head.........

You seem to have been infected by the woke mind virus.

Part of the reason why Trump won the election was a backlash against wokeness. I believe the tide is turning on wokeness and we have already passed the peak. At least I hope so anyway.

if Disney does not adapt to the post woke era it will continue to affect their earnings.

You are scared shadows, I know a little girl that said she wanted to marry her Daddy when she grew up, should we all be worried about it, I don’t think so.

People will figure out who they are by them selves, it’s just up to society to give them the freedom to be them selves.

Again I ask how has “wokeness” affected disneys earnings.

You clearly did not read any of the articles I linked to including the one that described how Disney generated $1 billion of box office losses due to woke movies that flopped. No point discussing anything with you when you continue to be intellectually dishonest.
 
Movies may well die with gen alpha.
I've taken my kids to a couple but a lot they get bored easily. Possibly the experience of going to the movie is often more exciting than the movie.

They tend to watch youtubers and TikTokers. Movies are generally rare.
Disney theme parks and cruises might be a winner though. I noticed the trend towards "experiences" a while back.

I asked you to name a few movies that flopped due to wokeness, you named “The Marvels”, I haven’t actually seen, but when I looked it up it’s only “wokeness” seems to be an all female cast, that doesn’t seem woke to me.

To be honest I think it flopped because of other reasons, the whole Marvel franchise has been subdued since Iron Man died ending the first generation story line. I mean 34 movies out of a franchise is a lot to ask.

I haven’t even heard of it, and I am a Marvel fan, and I can’t remember seeing any ads for it either.
 
DIS on NYSE for a discussion ( if only briefly ) see Captain Chaza 's post # 1989 " You Tube " J C 's Revenge " 1 1/2 hrs long but Tesla begins at about the 1: 18 ( Hour ) mark followed soon after at 1: 21 by the Disney chart .
These motormouth New Yorkers take a bit of getting used to . If only they could slow down !
 
Disney loses over $600 million after four monumental box office disasters

Disney had four colossal box office bombs in 2023 including The Marvels and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny​


That was previously. Get ready for the latest round of losses caused by unwatchable woke entertainment.


Next woke Disney movie in line to flop is Snow White. It looks certain to lose money at this point.

Thank goodness Trump is finally taking on the woke parasites head on.

Disney needs a complete board and management overhaul with all the woke pro DEI morons get fired and replaced with competent people.

"Snow White's new trailer is now approaching 500% more DISLIKES than likes"
