It seems that Disney has learned nothing. The company has lost billions in recent years. It has also lost highly visible battles with the conservative state of Florida. Despite this, the liberal executives at the company continue to push woke ideology through their movies and parks.
Although American consumers have made it clear they reject wokeism, Disney seems poisoned to the very core by this movement.
The company appears to be making decisions based on politically correct views and far-left progressivism. We’ve seen them desecrate beloved shows and characters thanks to woke politics. Now, they have canceled an iconic figure for the most absurd reason of all.
From The Post Millennial:
It has been revealed that Tinker Bell has been axed from the set of characters available for meet and greets at Disney World amusement park in Florida.The move comes after Disney labeled the fairy “potentially problematic” for her appearance and behavior in the classic 1953 film, Peter Pan…
In 2022, the New York Times reported that Disney had deemed the fairy “potentially problematic” because she was seen as “body conscious” and desired Peter Pan’s attention.
The Florida theme park Disney World has removed Tinker Bell from its meet and greets. The character used to appear alongside Mickey Mouse and others, greeting families at locations at the park.
But according to reports, the innocent fairy has been brandished as “problematic” by the woke crones running the company. How can a small, sweet fairy be seen as remotely “problematic”?
Because she was seen as “body conscious.” We are not clear on what that even means. But the nail in her coffin was that she “desired Peter Pan’s attention.” Oh, now it makes sense. A female character who is attracted to a strong, male figure. The feminist goons that run Disney can’t have that!
These PC clowns are so woke, that they even brandished Captain Hook—the villain of the film—as problematic too because, get this, he has a hook. The liberals who run Disney fear this might be seen as a “negative portrayal of those with disabilities.”
Uh… so now Disney doesn’t like cartoon pirates because they think it will offend someone with a prosthetic in real life? Does anyone really think Hook is evil because he has a hook for a hand? Give me a break.
It seems like Disney’s slide into irrelevance is only continuing. How much longer before the once-beloved company is just a punchline?
Key Takeaways:
- Disney World removed Tinker Bell from its meet and greets.
- Reports claim the company thinks the character is “problematic.”
- This comes as Disney loses billions over its woke agenda.
