    Nah, fuck disney. Won’t forget their “say no gay” policy. Also, a lot of their “woke” coded content is awful. It feels written by inexperienced writers. It’s not genuine and comes across as pandering.

    Like damn bro. Timon and Pumba were gay, social outcasts and raised a child together. That shit felt real. Not the stereotype gay l, but just normal… well “normal” characters.

    The new stuff doesn’t seem to have that. To the point that it feels as though they wanted their work to flop on it.

    Kinda has that vibe Sandy from Spongebob had. At first, she was just a normal whacky character. Then Nickelodeon wanted more girl representation and Sandy became pretty much flawless. She wasn’t the butt of the joke anymore, while the other characters stayed that way. It made her seem less part of the gang. Unequal to the rest. She became unfun.

    So many of the female characters seem flawless and yet unlikable. From star wars series, to the new disney movies. Where is our Katara from Avatar? Where is our Valerie from Danny Phantom? Where are the characters with character?
