What is Woke Disney?

[Theodarzna]

Jesus Christ.

Lunatic rambling aside, these "evil institutions" only embrace this stuff when it's politically convenient to do so. Disney's not going to be out there with rainbow flags and trans characters if the majority of the population opposes those things, and so wouldn't buy their merch with that stuff attached to it. It's only because of the work of the boogeymen you listed (and the general acceptance of their ideas among their potential customers) that companies like Disney will promote this stuff...not the other way around. Fucking obviously.

Ah, "They are just seamlessly co-opting it, I'm stilling fighting the power..... even though power has no trouble totally bringing it into the corporate board room, marketing, branding and the inner workings of the corporation!"

[GreenGoldSharpie]

My eyes usually just glaze over and then conveniently ignore their nonsensical posts...but the bait on that one was too much. My bad.

I always like to wonder which of her characters was the one who stated the violent fantasies of murdering liberals Pinochet style. Think it was the one riding Trump's dick or the one sucking off Quilette and the IDW?

They have "no trouble" bringing in the things people have been fighting for them to bring in NOW. But they didn't bring those things into the boardroom, etc 10 years ago.

How do you think they got from Point A to Point B?

It's Theo. "CIA Conspiracy and Soros Money" is obviously the answer.

"Snow white privilege" is likely meaning "snowflake."

Woke Disney is another example of the curious place the "Wokies" occupy. That of blustering like revolutionaries and proclaiming that they are fighting power while being really unable to grapple with the fact that the CIA, Disney, US Military, FBI, every corporation and an entire litany of our elite Capitalist overlords totally agrees with Kimberle Crenshaw, Robin DiAngelo, and Ibram Kendi and other 'literal communists', if the adherence of Wokeness admitted to this and seriously sat down to parse out why all of these demonstrably evil institutions so seamlessly wield it more effectively than they do, they would come face to face to the horrific realization that rather than being rebels fighting an Empire, they are in fact that Empires imperial shock troopers. Most are merely a Janissary doing it for free. Once more they might realize they are these institutions target audience.

yikes, just when it seemed you were fully medicated with some decent discussions and post in other topics......off the rails....

[LilSaihah]

I can't really pick out any details, so I don't like this one very much. The only one I can find is that the horses on the socialism-go-round are donkeys.

Oh well, if Ben's having fun, that's what counts.

People as me, "Milchy why do you make these threads?"

These are basically like a PSA. Reminding people that conservatives are only talking about socialized medicine, unemployment insurance, etc in an effort to to concern troll people.

Civil Rights and other minority issues are the great acid test, that always reveals their true nature.

[Grapemask]

If someone's doing something, conservatives are bawling their eyes out about it. There has never been a group of whinier snowflakes outside of a preschool.

Next, someone's going to complain about Disney trying to hide "Song of the South."

[Orby]

Next, someone's going to complain about Disney trying to hide "Song of the South."

Song of the South is also just a very boring movie, outside of James Baskett who plays Uncle Remus everyone else is just like watching paint dry. The moral of the story is to not be prejudice, to come together and not judge others so quickly... I think Disney's heart was in the right place in making this movie, but the execution was very tone deaf, like slavery is hardly brought up despite that it takes place on a plantation, and there are some cringing moments like when they say words like tar baby, just everything is way too chipper. ITs a good hearted story told on the back of a horrible place and time.

Not to mention that the theater that Disney chose to first screen Song of the South in, in Georgia for "historical tribute to the uncle Remus stories," was still segregated, such that James Baskett couldn't attend the premiere of the film in which he was the main character

"Tone-deaf" sums it up pretty well.

Being against woke culture has become an industry over the past several years despite the term being nonsense to begin with. Right wingers want to be angry at "others" and will scrape together any reason to keep it going.

For some it probably is more about profit, though. A lot of scammers want to be the next limbaugh, or I guess at this point the next shapiro. Just stir up enough shit day after day to keep the audience pissed and scared while collecting the money.

I made the mistake of clicking on a YT video where someone was ranting about female superheroes and later on was treated to a few thousand extra suggestions for videos of angry white dudes hating on women in general. They're all trying to make a buck off of manufactured hate. Although, I shouldn't label them all as angry white dudes. The proven method of shit stirring while mix-matching race/gender is in play here too. Some women and non-white guys have figured out they can get a lot of extra views this way.

this subforum (Gen-OT, before "politics" was made) used to be an absolute cesspit of that kind of stuff. just go to the books/movies/games section if you wanna see it still in action.

They started that years ago.

[postman1782]

This is way too tacky and forced for my tastes.

Pretty much the definition of every dumbass Ben Garrisson cartoon.

[Gestopft]

Man, these people really, REALLY want their sex slavery in a fake Disney pirate ride back...

[Egomaniac]

They need to be there so the rest can point at them and say "I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic/etc because X is "Black/Female/Gay/etc and they agree with me"

Followed by claims of a nefarious Cabal created by users here for the sole purpose of attacking her.

Uhm... If Antifa land can perpetually burn... they are an infinite source of energy.

Did you notice the rainbow colored ships, going around the illuminati pyramid on top of Washington monument? It’s to the left of the surprisingly tame BLM ride...

It’s Jung... we used to have long arguments about it. It has since been adapted by others. In Japan, this has been used as a persona:

In Buddhist myth, Mara is also known as "The Evil One," a tempter, through the deceit of regarding the mundane and negative as alluring, and personifies unwholesome impulses, unskillfulness and the "death" of the spiritual life. In many religions that incorporate the cosmology of the Hindu originated Trailokya, Mara is said to sit atop at the Sixth Heaven of the Desire Realm that includes the mortal world, and is said to be both that which ensnares souls in Samsara by deceiving them with promises of happiness in the Desire Realms, and who is the ultimate obstacle of any who desire to achieve enlightenment into nirvana and sunyata.

Feeling threatened by the enlightenment the Buddha was trying to bestow upon humanity, he attacked Gautama Buddha when he was meditating beneath the bodhi tree. He was defeated when the Buddha simply touched the tips of his fingers to the earth, whereupon all the gods descended in a tremendous roar to pay homage to him. Though Mara was defeated that time, he still lingers in the world, hoping to seize the souls of the dying and unenlightened.

Curiously, in the German original it's merely described as a gilded slipper, first one being silk and brockade, second was not mentioned as far as I can see.

Edit: Just looked at "an" English translation: "Then a dress fell down, and it was even more glorious and splendid than the previous one. It was made out of gold and precious gems. In addition there were golden gusseted stockings and gold slippers."

That's based on a 1937 edition/translation. I suspect the glass slipper may actually be a Disney invention entirely.

I always thought it really was glass, but like, a slipper with 'ice' on it.

Answers:
Midget is considered as a derogatory slur for people with dwarfism. Hence, it’s a political correctness jab when a dwarf says it as an “m” word

Snow White privilege is a riff on “white privilege.” Black Mickey Mouse punching a white Donald Duck is also visually on the same thing.

But, surprisingly, people missed the inciting event for this political satire cartoon. It’s Christopher Rufo’s piece in the city journal documenting Disney’s new critical race theory training.
https://www.city-journal.org/racial-...it_nosession=1
Some of the possibly objectionable content inveighs against a colorblind approach to race and a white privilege checklist (including heterosexual, cisgender, not having ever been called a terrorist).

Some more recent reporting suggests Disney has since scrubbed the training after backlash and publicity.
