re: Elon obtained a copy of Disney’s new inclusion standards for entertainment content

If you paid attention you didn't need to see this to know what was happening but this is good for the few holdouts that get upset every time someone mentions the low quality products these mandates are producing.

Agreed. Disney has obviously made veterans a priority.

A conspiratorial mind would say Musk is trying to tank the stock even more than it already is so he can buy a huge amount of shares on the cheap, then team up with Nelson Peltz for a hostile takeover of the company

Is Nelson Peltz gonna wanna team up with Elon if he costs him millions of dollars by tanking the stock?

how are women an underrepresented group? they make up like 51% of the population.

You have to understand. This isn't really about representation it's about discrimination against white males.

And conservatives of all stripes, obviously, but they don't put that part in writing.

Disney is so shitty

FunBitch not gonna like this coming out in the open.

Veteran characters are likely not underrepresented in media

it says they are right at the bottom of the image.

so 50% gay, trans, and/or crippled characters and these same groups meaningful integration into overall theme of the series premise or episodic storylines have to go along with those 100% White veteran male actors.

---

it doesn't say that anywhere.

It says females count towards the 50% as well. so make a show with 50% females (which represents real life accurately) and you have the 50% underrepresented part covered.

100% White veteran male actors.

count towards the underrepresented category

it's odd that we have a leaked document from fricking Disney saying military veterans count as underrepresented, yet you are in here trying to argue they dont

Are you sure the bottom isn’t talking about those who hire being prohibited from asking candidates or talent if they are in any of those groups??

Go read standard A again in the context of your claim of using 100% veteran White male actors. Unless you are good with black face on White actors the series can then be about blacks and played by White male veterans using black face to play those black characters and not have to get into the gay, trans, or crippled underrepresented.

So you are changing things now from below???

better yet hire all veterans as the males in the show and you can hit 100% while using all white people

Let me know where it says this for characters which is what I said (including context being critical when deciding on the underrepresented) and not in regards to asking possible new hires if they fit those groups

There is a lot of military stuff in media and also characters who used to be in the military. A lot of old straight while males as well. I guess 100% White male veteran actors could play muslims as well as gays, trans, and cripples in some combo to make up 50% or more of the characters.

Edit:
Just in case here is the text at bottom of pic (one group is covered up).

quote:

---

Context is critical when evaluating if a group is "underrepresented."

Anyone involved in hiring decisions is prohibited from asking candidates and talent about their actual or perceived race, religion, color, - , orientation, gender, gender identity, military or veteran status, age, disability, or any other legally protected categories.

2nd Edit: here are both columns to standard A - On Screen Representation

quote:

---

STANDARD A
ON SCREEN
REPRESENTATION
At least THREE of the following FIVE areas need to be met to fulfill
Standard A:

•A1 Characters: 50% or more of regular and recurring written characters come from Underrepresented Groups
•A2 Actors: 50% or more of regular and recurring actors come from Underrepresented Groups
*A3 Secondary Characters: Meaningful inclusion of Underrepresented Groups as secondary or more minor on-screen individuals, including background actors
•A4 Series Premise: Meaningful integration of Underrepresented Groups in overall themes and narratives
•A5 Episodic Storytelling: Ongoing meaningful integration of Underrepresented Groups in episodic themes and narratives

quote:

it says they are right at the bottom of the image.

Are you talking about the legal note that just lists protected classes?

quote:

---

Just Google Disney underrepresented groups and you get this as the top result from a Disney official page

---

But you said this was at the bottom of the image in the OP. You even included laughing emoticons saying it was funny I was ignoring this. Were you just laughing at yourself?

You also missed the whole evaluating what groups are underrepresented - “ Context is critical when evaluating if a group is "underrepresented." …”

Why would they need to evaluate anything if characters and featured storylines that are underrepresented in their “screen representation” have already decided by the company based on their historical groups and protected groups for hiring policies???
