Oh for fricks sake. Now we're going to have to have a 10+ page thread on how Disney is evil, gays are pedos, and American culture is under attack because of 12 seconds of dialogue.


The usual suspects here would have come up w/something to screech about regardless.

In 2022, why is it even notable that someone in a movie has two moms? Good on them for not removing it. Either get with the times or GFY

that has nothing to do with it. those people complain just to complain. i'm just simply calling out their bullshite complaining about 12 seconds of dialog about white privilege while they're completely tolerant of 12 seconds of mentioning lesbian moms.


Ah yes the ole you can’t criticize one thing unless you criticize everything manure. I also love how people say “you complain about wokeness” then when someone gives a concrete example you say they are just hung in on a “throw away line”. Always moving the goal posts.


I don’t recall anyone saying the “white privilege” line complete ruins the Batman, just that it’s a example of gratuitous woke pandering, that makes no sense for that character to say or be concerned about it. It’s a buzz phrase stuck in there just to show the white guys making the movie are “down with the struggle”. Frankly it’s just lazy to use a throw away line like that. People won’t care about “messages” if the movie is good. Talented writers could make the point without having a character say the phrase.

The only people who live in Reedy Creek are allowed to live there by Disney, live on Disney property, are Disney employees, and serve as the town council. Effectively, Reedy Creek's only real "citizen" is Disney.

There are no parallels between white privilege and a lesbian couple. It's a reach to try and connect these things.

They both trigger the PT types

But one of them only exists in the fantasies of your folks.

They missed an easy fix. They should have just told the Saudis that the character's two moms were members of the Sheik's harem. Problem solved.

I just hope Disney takes the same principled stand next time China tells them to remove a reference to Tibet… but something tells me that won’t be the case


You mean like in Dr. Strange? When they changed a 500 year old TIBETAN mystic into an androgynous white chick to not piss off the Chinese?

Or when they filmed the live action Mulan in a Chinese district within a few miles of a concentration camp for Ughyer Muslims, and then explicit thanked the government of that district in the credits?

Like that?

Good fricking luck.

Can we stop starting these freakin’ threads here? Move it to the crazy, I mean poli, board?

No one would give a two shits about any of this if certain people (on both sides) didn’t make big waves about it.

Actually, it's a fact. I mean this is just a completely stupid statement to make about something that you can confirm is true in under 2 seconds with a simple web search.

WHO LIVES IN REEDY CREEK?

Disney employees — called “cast members” — and their families live in Reedy Creek, according to an Orlando Sentinel report. According to a 2015 Orlando Sentinel article, “Each [family] owns their mobile home and pays Disney $75 a month to rent the lot space. In exchange, the residents provide the votes needed on issues such as approval of bonds for park improvements.”

This. Disney has shown it will take a stand until it actually costs them that sweet, sweet Chinese money.
