Is Disney finally getting the hint?
After years of fanning, foisting and folding in perverted content that makes many parents mad and threatens to confuse and propagandize their children, the legacy media company is reversing course on a transgender theme planned for an upcoming animation special.
The series, Win or Lose, is scheduled for release in February. The storyline revolves around a middle school softball team that features both boys and girls on the squad.
According to reports, one of the players on the team called “Pickles” was originally scripted to be “trans” or sexually confused.
But in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, a Disney spokesperson acknowledged the media giant has changed their mind – and for the most refreshing of reasons:
Of course, it’s not just animated content that’s on parents’ radar. But the insinuation in the statement is that parents, not Hollywood should be serving up controversial subjects like sexuality before young and impressionable children.
When it comes to these sexually charged themes, Disney has previously crossed the Rubicon, and often deliberately and defiantly. This latest move suggests they’re feeling some pressure and perhaps even when it comes to their profitability.
Back in 2022, Disney brass originally stayed silent but then eventually spoke out publicly against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law. Passed in the Sunshine State’s legislature, the bill reinforced the “fundamental rights of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their children.” It prohibited school districts from keeping secrets about children from their parents and banned gender ideology nonsense from being peddled to students in kindergarten through the 3rd grade.
In other words, in a sane world, it was common sense.
But after calls to slam the legislation, including from within the company, Disney bought the lie from activists who dubbed the legislation the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Prior to the shift, Dana Terrace, a Disney animator, took to social media with a profanity-laced rebuke. He said, in part, “Working for this company has … made me so distraught. I hate, I hate having moral quandaries about how I feed myself and how I support my loved ones.”
Did you catch that one? Moral quandaries.
The prophet Jeremiah wrote about “living in the midst of deception” (9:6), and the apostle Paul warned about those whose “tongues practice deceit” (Romans 3:13).
It was Walt Disney himself who once wrote, “I have watched constantly that in our work the highest moral and spiritual standards are upheld, whether my productions deal with fable or with stories of living action.”
Walt was raised in the Congregational Church in Marceline, Missouri. His father, who was a construction contractor, helped build the church. According to biographies, Walt attended church weekly, calling Christianity a “powerful influence on a person’s whole life.” He credited “Divine inspiration” for fueling his countless creative endeavors.
Disney has been gone since 1966, and his company has long been producing content that would for certain would have made him blush and likely even make him irate.
While inevitably motivated by profitability concerns and a broader boycott, let’s hope and pray this latest decision by Disney nevertheless indicates a new appreciation and respect for parental rights that will be reflected in the coming years.
