THE REAL B.B.C. | Disney is ReyCist CONFIRMED!

Tell me again about how Disney is forward thinking and inclusive.

No, everything they do is at the behest of China, like systemically shitting on cherished franchises.

You know most of this type of stuff is just licensed out and Disney doesn’t actively make decisions on it, right?

I'm recommending you change your avatar to this. It just seems appropriate these days.

I think we’re at the point where we can acknowledge that both sides have their outrage addicts.

I love pointing out hypocrisy.

Disney in the USA: YAYAYAY DIVERSITY!

Disney in China: What are bleks?

Sucks that they cut him out.

Sucks if he's overly pissed about it.

Really concerned though that people watch video podcasts like that one. Those are the assholes that we'd force to sit somewhere else during high school lunch.

You know that this is far from the first example of it that was loudly called out on, so they had ample opportunity to add directives in the future.

And you don’t think they have direct control
of their social media presence? Really?

You know that Disney is actually the one who did it in this case, right? Maybe watch the video next time.

If you watch the video long enough, it’s not like Finn was the only thing cut out. They horizontally condensed the original graphic and cut out Finn, Chewbacca, Han Solo and tie fighters. If you’re going to put just two characters in the artwork for that film, it should probably be Rey and Kyle Ren since they’re the main focus of the most recent trilogy.

Love seeing the same soy boys pop into all of these threads to cheerlead for people who hate them.

Were not in the middle of the picture, right between the two character who did make the cut.

You're making a goal post erector set over here.

It pains me to agree with you but it's shitty of Disney to do this.

I just love it how these people have the balls to lecture me that I’m a racist. Ricky Gervais put it best:

quote:

Apple roared into the TV game with “The Morning Show”, a superb drama about the importance of dignity and doing the right thing, made by a company that runs sweatshops in China. So you say you’re woke, but the companies you work for, I mean, unbelievable. Apple, Amazon, Disney. If ISIS started a streaming service, you’d call your agent, wouldn’t ya? So if you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech, right. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and frick off!

Buuuuullllllssshhiitttt

Disney is one of the largest protectors of its brand in existence. They micromanage everything. To even suggest they didn't know and explicitly approve is absurd.

Disney especially. The idea that Disney can't veto all editing decisions is just ludicrous.
