Disney’s brand took hit after hit last year, and 2023 is off to a similar start.
The Mouse House’s decision to inject itself into the Culture Wars sent its stock prices tumbling in 2022. The company’s animation wing also suffered from two high-profile duds – “Lightyear” and “Strange World.”
The child grooming outlet called Disney+ lost 2.4 million subscribers during the fourth quarter of 2022. That’s the first subscriber loss since the woke outlet launched in 2020.
All they have to do is remake Peter Pan with an all cross-dresser cast.
Update: The Walt Disney company announced Wednesday it is trimming its payroll by some 7,000 employees, becoming the latest major firm to cut jobs as economic uncertainty weighs.
The Walt Disney Co. went woke and now it is paying the consequences, with employees bracing for a bloodbath.
Executives are expecting CEO Bob Iger to announce drastic cost cuts — including layoffs that could number in the thousands — when the company reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday, according to a Business Insider report. The cuts come amid Iger’s ongoing corporate restructuring following a disastrous 2022 that saw company profits tank and its stock plummet 44 percent.
Disney has been slammed for going woke yet again after a new cartoon series features black children rapping about reparations – saying ‘slaves built this country’.
The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder has sparked outrage by showing the characters discovering that their town was built by slaves and then giving a presentation to their school.
As part of the rap, which as been branded ‘blatant anti-white propaganda’, a white character is seen standing on a stage with a poster that says ‘still not atoned’.

America’s post-Floyd ‘racial reckoning’ has found the spectre of white supremacy lurking in many unlikely places. In recent years, everything from mathematics to Abraham Lincoln, the president who abolished slavery, has been declared ‘problematic’ by activists.
Burberry is the latest fashion label to feature transgender models, showing a shirtless female-to-male model with visible double mastectomy scars in a recent Valentine’s Day campaign.
That’s obscene.
Tech giant Microsoft reportedly hosted a private event featuring a performance by music legend Sting attended by high-ranking executives just one day before announcing the layoff of 10,000 employees.
Now that’s obscene.
Flyers’ Provorov cites religion for boycott on Pride night
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov cited his Russian Orthodox religion as the reason he did not participate in pregame warmups when the team wore Pride-themed jerseys and used sticks wrapped in rainbow Pride tape.
The 26-year-old Provorov boycotted the pregame skate with his teammates before Tuesday night’s game against Anaheim as the Flyers celebrated their annual Pride night in celebration and support of the LGBTQ+ community. He played nearly 23 minutes in Philadelphia’s 5-2 victory.
“I respect everybody’s choices,” Provorov said after the game. “My choice is to stay true to myself and my religion. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Big Gay vs. the Russian Orthodox Church, 1st round goes to the Orthodox.
The NHL just got shirted by DeSantis in Florida for their racism, not sure if they’ll kick up too much of a fuss this go round.
Just finished watching a game on Sportsnet and all they could talk about was Ivan Provorov’s refusal to wear the Flyers LGBTQ+ pride night jersey.
Get over it! Stop forcing your religion on to everyone.
Happy to see someone stood their ground. pic.twitter.com/NZ10hD5WT6

The NHL keeps providing me new reasons why I don’t bother watching any longer.
The National Hockey League (NHL) has reacted to allegations of discrimination from the office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis by backtracking on some of the eligibility criteria for a job fair that was meant to be restricted to select minority groups.
A spokesperson for the NHL told The Epoch Times that the event—the Pathway to Hockey Summit—is now open to anyone 18 years of age or older and that the original wording for a LinkedIn announcement for the event was “not accurate.”
The NHL’s post on LinkedIn—which has since been deleted—said that the event was limited to a narrow range of job-seekers from a list of “underrepresented communities.”
Victoria’s Secret brand CEO Amy Hauk resigned from her position after less than a year on the job amid the company’s disastrous woke reforms.
The company announced on Tuesday that Hauk would be stepping down from her position as CEO of its Pink apparel brand for teens and the overall company brand. Martin Waters, CEO of parent company Victoria’s Secret & Co., will take her place, according to CNN Business.
Now I feel even better about my decision nearly two years ago to never drink or buy another Coca-Cola or, as far as I know, another Coke-owned product.
A new, quite believable Twitter feed about the beverage company makes it look even more like a cynical, race-baiting, dishonest bully than it already had appeared. About which, more in a moment.
Effective Altruism is ultimately rooted in saviorism
In 1889, Andrew Carnegie, one of the most ruthless industrialists in American history, wrote an essay entitled “The Gospel of Wealth,” which became the moral playbook for the oligarchs of his time on what to do with their fortunes. Carnegie was determined to overcome his reputation as a “robber baron” by becoming one of the greatest philanthropists who ever lived. The “man of wealth,” Carnegie wrote, should “consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds, which he is called upon to administer… in the manner which, in his judgment, is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community.” By pledging it all to posterity, he believed he could transform the fortune he had amassed from a totem of private avarice to a monument of civic virtue.
A doll brand that once taught children history is now suggesting puberty blockers
For years, the iconic American Girl franchise created a series of dolls whose clothes, accessories, and stories taught young girls about our nation’s history. The brand was acquired by Mattel (the same people who make Barbie) in 1998. Now, American Girl is creating fun learning opportunities for children about how to access puberty blockers if they don’t trust their parents.
Kathy and I were visiting Chicago, just aimlessly walking about in the area of the Magnificent Mile when we began to notice a surge of young girls and their Moms carrying American Girl shopping bags. We tracked them to the source – The American Girl store.
We went inside and I have to admit it was a refreshing change that brought a smile to our faces.
This was in the pre-Mattel buy-out era.
Now Mattel has the dolls mass produced in Communist China.
Thanks Corporate America for taking a charming bit of Americana and reducing it to a soulless blob of plastic.
Newly minted Disney CEO Bob Iger is taking over the scandal-plagued company just as Universal Studios appears to be having a resurgence over the once unbeatable brand Disney. Universal Studios has floundered in nearly all corners of the entertainment business, from films to theme parks.
Shut up and count the money, that’s all it took to run Disney but no they had to go woke.
Mattel, the massive corporation that owns Barbie, Fisher-Price, Hot Wheels, American Girl and several other iconic toy companies, is promoting transgender ideology to children through its products.
The brand has introduced several transgender-themed products aimed at a child audience in recent years, including a recent book about boy image which included a section encouraging gender transitions for girls with body image issues. Mattel has been praised by LGBT activists and boasted of its LGBT inclusion efforts.
They ruined Christmas.
