Social Disney Racism? What you think?

[Sir Burton]

In a interesting turn of events Disney the same company which they erased John Boyega from the Chinese poster for Force Awakens a few years back.
Disney is now defending one of their own author for star wars high republic. After some had found out that the author a collection of nasty tweets towards a specif group of people.

Disney had come in the support of the author saying they do not tolerate racism or bullying. Either way i am not sure how this would help Disney.

Last time Disney had a bad PR was when one of Disney's Star War's official insulted Star Wars Theory for having a reaction.

the YA publishing world is an incredibly weird place. It’s like wokism on steroids. It’s even worse than academia (and I’ve worked in both)

Be careful, you will find yourself down a rabbit hole real quick. by the time you get your head out, you will need to remind yourself “this is not how the normal, functioning world thinks.”

When will they figure that wokism doesn't sell?

The article you linked is referencing the new host of the High Republic Podcast, who's revealed herself to be a racist by her own tweets just from the last 8 months.

One of the actual writers of the High Republic, Justina Ireland, isn't any less of a racist.


.

I was talking to my old colleague a couple weeks ago (gay, mixed male) who mentioned Justina...he said our old boss called her “the surliest of cunts;” a title he agrees with lol.

She rode/rides the social justice platform nonstop and no one has had the wherewithal to tell her she comes across as idiotic. She is not well-liked in the YA publishing industry as far as my old coworkers can tell.

when people start standing up to them and calling them out on their bullshit. It needs to start with management going to the executive teams, and telling them this is really really bad for morale.

<Lmaoo>

I literally laughed out loud.

That's not surprising whatsoever based on the video of her public speaking infront of a young audience about her inspiration for her writing is being angry, she hates long books, and she likes to read historical fiction so she can believe that's what really happened.

She said this infront of kids.

And she said on twitter 'If you don't like by politics, you won't like my books.' And apparently this is exactly what kind of authors Kathleen Kennedy wanted for The High Republic.

Well last time i checked Europe is a large place with a large population and mostly European white.
It would be a real shame if Disney things stop selling. Even in the Southern Europe ask anyone there this wokism,etc people are getting tired of it.


Generally speaking American Hollywood entertainment is not new to stereotyping of different people though. Either way i hope this ends.

I live in Detroit. But yeah, I get your point.

How is this different than them keeping Gina Carano despite people upset with her supporting the conspiracy nonsense? They seem equal opportunity.

The difference being Star Wars didn’t acknowledge nor back Gina publicly. They just sat back and said nothing.

 

[My Spot]

She is half white.

Also I love how Star Wars has ruined itself to all the hardcore original fans etc I dont know why

ROTJ ruined SW for me.

 

[Hollywood Jack]

LMAO I knew it... #EverySingleTime @Jackie Blue

I saw her trending on Twitter, looked into it, and still don't understand the situation. What specifically did she say and what is the context?

She had some past tweets where she called all white people are racists on some of her tweets.
Her defenders and supporters are claiming that her tweets were taken out of context well i dont believe that.

Her supporters claim that she being agaisnt racism ok fine but how is that doing so by claiming that all white people are racists? now you have this weird cancel culture like thing out of twitter demanding that bounding into comics get cancelled for just reporting on the story and on her past tweets?

If this was the other way around it would be CNN doing the reporting

It’s true. And actually the Chinese made it known to Disney that they wouldn’t like boyega being co lead as he is black.

so Disney rewrote the script to turn boyega into basically comedic relief. And boyega was PISSED.

Our “fake woke” companies are just that. Liars.

The Force Awakens was the last movie I saw in theaters. My distinct impression was that Boyega was in fact co-lead in that movie. Do you mean that after the first of the new trilogy they put him on the backburner?

 

[Hollywood Jack]

Yeah, because of photographic proof of inappropriate sexual material.

Kinda hard to deny that.


Steve King would be so relieved to hear he's still a congressman with all of his leadership positions reinstated.



Do you really think that's what they can do?


Yes, because they can blame the not-concentration camps on the boarder on a racist immigration system.

Because only white people are capable of racism.



And the fact you don't see it as sexist and racist is exactly my point.

Racism & Sexism against white males is perfectly acceptable.



Holy fuck... you actually think opinions can't be racist.

That statement says ALL black men sensitive, as if they're a monolith, and they ALL... all 20+ million of them in the USA alone...have that trait in common with no exceptions.

And YOU are saying that's not racist.

You're pretending to not understand the difference between "a lot of" and "ALL". You're being dumb and disingenuous. Try to be intellectually honest and argue in good faith for once.

Lol oh yes. So very much so.

in TFA you think boyega will even be reys love interest, which it was supposed to be the case bc hollywood loves to push the black male white female storyline at all times.

in the next to films he is comedic relief. Boyegas big breakout chance was ruined. And he’s steaming mad about it. He’s talked mad shit about it. and may end up blackballed in the industry bc you don’t call out the globalist producers who will advance Chinese racism for 500 million dollars every damn day of the week.

There's a belief, held by many left-leaning white people themselves by the way, that Western societies are inherently white supremacist and all white people are racist, including themselves. I'm sure her white husband believes in it himself. The way it plays out doesn't exactly end up with white people being disadvantaged in any way, though. It's just something they tell themselves to make them feel better. It's stupid.

Exactly Although most who believe this view are mostly far leftist in general. I am a liberal on issues but i had seen this mostly coming from the far leftist side. If you haven't owned a slave nor you have the
white privilege in your family line and your still poor are those white people still white supremacist and racist then to? this narrative i do not like. Nor do i like the idea of CRT.

Even still like i said i dont think this PR move will help Disney in the long run.

Honestly I don't blame him. I feel bad for the actors in the new set of movies. They had three shitty scripts given to them by talentless hacks who a) couldn't agree on what the personality of the films should be, and b) indulged in shameless pandering. Because god knows we need more of that shit

I think when more people become aware of the Chinese government's more nefarious progress it will be very interesting to see what people emphasize, and how the tenets by which they choose to either ally or denounce others, will change.

There are many people who find themselves experiencing severe discomfort because of this kind of thing being both trumpeted and applauded.

They will not care. Bc the same large companies who own the Hollywood movie studios own the media outlets. If their media DARES to tell the American people to give a shit, China will see that, and then promptly BAN that large company from ever releasing a movie in China ever again. Or doing any kind of business with China ever again.

this is why leftist MSM never criticizes China harshly. And it’s pathetic
