There is an explanation for Disney's war
on children

Original Article

Very often, when companies go woke, it turns out that the wokeness is a cover for changing market forces. That is, they're not alienating traditional demographics; they're reflecting that their money is coming from new demographics. When it comes to Hollywood and the NBA, for example, the big bucks are coming from China, not America. And when it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn't children; it's young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up. The brilliant Daniel Greenfield makes this point in an article entitled "Disney's Business Model is Turning Kids into Dysfunctional Adults: Its customer base isn't kids. It's messed up adults."

Great article, with excellent points. But it as has been pointed out in other recent articles, the executives who run Disney are "not right in the head". A corrupt tree cannot bear good fruit.

This Marshall McLuhan-esque analysis has removed the scales from my eyes on Disney. Thanks, Andrea. However, I am bummed.

"Toto, I have a feeling we are not in Kansas anymore." We didn't move to a new country, but we didn't have a true understanding of the seedy underbelly of this country.

Demographics and dollars have always gone together, along with advertising that drove the demographics to create more dollars. Somewhere along the way our culture went awry. I think SCOTUS legalizing abortion and lately homosexual marriage, both have zero constitutional protection, into American blood is the driving force for all the depravity.

In sn orchard, sometimes a tree catches a disease, or otherwise falters, that may have at one time been an excellent tree... ... but now it's only fit to throw on the brush pile and burn.

Maybe this article is correct. I don't know. But I do know that alienating 36% of your customer base is very bad business.

FTA: "Disney still has a profitable kids segment, but its real profits come from overgrown children born into broken families, prematurely coming of sexual age, who are eager to embrace leftist utopian causes and fantasies, who are seeking an identity and an escape at the same time. Anyone who has visited a Disney park or cruised can confirm these observations. It's not the kids excited by Disney, but the middle-aged mothers with their Mickey t-shirts and mouse ears dragging their bored kids along to ride the teacups or Dumbo...living vicariously through their kids. The big demographic is DINK households...dual income, no kids. The travel and entertainment industry caters to this segment because, as Willy Sutton observed regarding banks, that's where the money is.

Agreed #8. The 'math' is simple - alienate more of your customers than you are gaining by pandering to a very small segment of the population equals net LOSS. Whoever in the Disney ivory tower(s) came up with this should be publicly pilloried.

As others have said, this explains a lot. Never quite connected the dots. This also explains the Disney After Hours option when you can stay until 12:30 AM. Who would drag their kids to Disneyworld at that hour? It's no longer for kids.

Leave it to leftists to ruin any good thing. They want to live in a "Leave it to Beaver" world where a "woke" June Cleaver, still sports a mid-calf dress and sweater bringing plates of warm cookies to Ward, sharpening lawnmower blades in the garage... BUT THEN Wally comes out as Lumpy Rutherford's transvestite lover and Beaver turns into a highly perverted client at the Mayfield Brothel, owned and managed by Eddie Haskell (and the mob), and Larry Mondello doing a couple of nickels in San Quentin for drug trafficking and Whitey Whitney is a well respected founding member of the Mayfield Chapter of the Hell's Angels with Gilbert Bates as his attorney. Judy Hensler of course became a leader in the LGBTQ__ community and remains a frequent Beaver harasser... Disney has always been about fantasy, and now they engage in a "West World" of sorts for the "soy boys" they developed over the years who can now play "Peter Parker Pan" all their days, while showing up every four years to vote Democrat Leftist policies, e.g. "The Great Society," lay waste to society through five generations of welfare addiction, resulting in urban decay, gang violence, and death. So where do you escape to? Disneyland! Where secret cameras track your every move and plain-clothes security roam the park - protecting you from criminals, and every scrap of paper is picked up in the blink of an eye by hardly noticed park staff. Does it sound like a Socialist Paradise yet? And all you have to do is give up your right to privacy, pay a huge admission fee (and continuing fees), and show proof of all vaccinations to enter.

Chicago, the city that invented the skyscraper and whose central business district is a living museum of the history of tall buildings drawing visitors from all over the world, is on the verge of losing two historic early twentieth century office towers.

For some time now, China has presented itself as a rapidly ascending nation that is completely in charge of its destiny and one that escaped COVID with little harm. However, that appearance may be illusory and China may be more unstable than the image it promotes to the world. (snip) You don’t have an effective Zero COVID policy when your largest city (Shanghai) has such an aggressive COVID outbreak that you lockdown all 26 million people. And you don’t have a stable regime when those 26 million people claim that, in service to that draconian lockdown, they’re beginning to starve to death.

Accepting the fake claims of a massacre is as bad as or even worse than denying a real one. (snip) The Russian military left Bucha, Ukraine on March 30, 2022. On March 31, Bucha mayor Anatoly Fedoruk triumphantly declared Bucha liberated. On April 1, a video shot from a moving car appeared on Twitter, showing 7 (maybe 8) dead bodies on the Yablonska Street in Bucha. By April 3, the number of bodies found on the streets of Bucha had grown to 20, and mass graves were shown. Kyiv claimed that the Russian military had executed between 280 and 410 civilians

America’s Founding Fathers at the Constitutional Convention knew any form of government they created would become corrupt.

The other was strictly through the states, giving Congress no role other than calling for a Convention of the States.

Why I wrote 'No' across my pediatrician’s questionnaire 27 replies

I recently took my twelve-year-old for his annual check-up. The process was rather routine, except for two distinct differences. First, he needed three vaccinations, all of which he received and second, I wrote “No” across a form that the nurse handed him without my permission. You see, the nurse bypassed me and handed my son two pieces of paper and a pen. She asked him to answer two questions on one and then the entirety of the next. She then proceeded to leave the room. Not once did she ask me to look at the forms prior to handing them to my son

Barack Obama was at the White House yesterday, making it clear, as did others at the reception held in Obama’s honor, that Biden’s presidency is over. Watching Obama suck the oxygen out of the room made me wonder if Obama is planning a comeback, something he can easily do. (snip) The reception in Obama’s honor, though, hinted that the event’s real purpose was to signal to Democrat apparatchiks that Biden is now shark chum. The chumming process began when Obama referred to Biden as the “Vice President,” adding, after a long pause, “that was a joke.”

Black Lives Matter Global Network, once the crown jewel of the Democrat Left, has become a major embarrassment that should cost the Democrats a lot of House and Senate seats this November—but only if the Republican Party does not squander the opportunity the way it squandered it in 2020. That was when it came out that BLM was campaigning openly against Donald Trump while accepting 501(c)(3) tax exempt money (snip) Part V, Line 46 of BLM's Form 990 for 2019-2020 asks whether the organization attempted to influence any election, and BLM checked off "No." This looks inconsistent with the organization's own website

Donald Trump Just Made an Absolutely Head-Scratching Endorsement 32 replies

Donald Trump held a rally in North Carolina on Saturday night, but it wasn’t the normal theatrics and hilarity that the former president delivers that made the biggest impression. Rather, it was an endorsement that seems to have come out of nowhere, and I’ll go so far as to say it may be his worst ever (yes, worse than Morgan Ortega) — at least as a Republican politician. Honestly, I know some people take umbrage with anyone ever questioning Trump’s decision-making, but this is truly a head-scratching moment. I’m not sure offering endorsements to people based on them being on TV for a long time is the best strategy.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy shut down Sunday talk of using impeachment as a political tool against President Biden on Sunday. The California Republican who is poised to become speaker if his party wins the House majority told Fox Business Network that immediately impeaching Mr. Biden was not on the GOP’s agenda. “One thing we learned that the Democrats did is they used impeachment for political reasons,” McCarthy said in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo. “We believe in the rule of law.” Mr. McCarthy said that Republicans would not be afraid to hold the White House accountable when in power, but ruled out weaponizing impeachment

Hunter Biden’s partying days appear to be in the rearview mirror as he lives a quiet homebody-style life, rarely venturing out of his $6 million Malibu home while being guarded 24/7 by the Secret Service. “He never goes anywhere other than an art studio,” a source with direct knowledge of the situation told the Washington Examiner. “You won’t ever see Hunter Biden in a grocery store buying bologna and bread for a sandwich.” But on the off chance that Biden does want to venture out, he doesn’t drive himself but rather gets into a Secret Service car.

However this era of angry polarization, crime and violence ends, it will be left to historians to decipher how America got so far off track. Instead of building on our unprecedented prosperity and role as the world’s ultimate superpower, we declared war — cultural, political and social — on each other. Even our nation’s Founders are not spared. (Snip) Two recent developments illustrate how that campaign remains a radioactive hot spot. With both developments centering on Hillary Clinton, they underscore her role and the depths of her venality. Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of her, proof emerges that she was even more duplicitous than we knew.

The Motion Picture Academy’s decision to ban Will Smith from Oscar ceremonies and events for 10 years as discipline for slapping Chris Rock is little more than an extended time out for a playground bully. It’s a toothless penalty that lays bare the shallowness of Hollywood morals. At this point, the only person who can redeem the integrity of the Oscars is Smith himself. He needs to come to grips with the gravity of the offense he committed: slapping Rock, live on March 27 in front of millions on the Academy Awards stage.

I’m not quite sure how it was that Kamala Harris managed to snag the position she has now. She was kicked to the curb early by the Democrat electorate — but to the elites behind the scenes, making the choices, that meant “make her the number 2 behind Joe Biden.” So, while no one wanted her when she ran for President, here she is, perched a heartbeat away from someone who has enough issues to float a boat. However, one of the few things that might be holding off some people from screaming “25th Amendment” about Joe Biden is that Kamala Harris as President would be the result.
