Thanks for making the sentence more clear. I’m no Forrest Gump, but I couldn’t be sure wtf we were being told.
Thanks from me too! I had to keep reading to understand exactly what it was 🤭

"Given the Company’s existing practices to assess participation in transparency efforts and the Board’s oversight of ESG reporting, workforce equity matters and human rights policies... our Board unanimously recommends voting AGAINST this proposal"

Yay for shareholders voting the moral way, but Big Mouse a can get bent. Their money helped put us here.
It probably leads back to Koch - much that is evil in America since the 1950s has been influenced by the Koch Klan.
Too bad we'll all be sent to prison in El Salvador, but this news does cheer me up.

Their policies sound too similar to just be coincidence.
Many companies think they'll make more money by not being racist than being racist. This is better than the alternatives, but they are not fighting to save anything, let alone heroes.
Look at how fast Disney removes LGBTQ storylines from foreign markets if you have any doubt.
Thanks #DisneyShareholders

caved to pressure
didn't go so well for Target though
can we boycott Disney y'all?
NEVER AGAIN!!
They are making friends of a small group while alienating half the country.
Most of us are fine with all the diversity, but we are NOT fine with ret-conning our favorite characters to have diversity, nor are we find with diversity at the expense of good story telling. Many of us are also sick of being shamed for just pointing these things out.
Public image also counts, and this just signals more of the same.
So even if they fix the bad writing, they won't get another chance.
Heck, its probably too late already.
Most people are fine with LGBTQ ppl existing. But many of us are dead sick of Disney shoving LGBTQ into stories edgeways, even rewriting old characters to make them LGBTQ...or rabid feminist or hiring Zionazis. Everything woke has become offensive...for good reason. Crap's gotta stop now.
When ppl pay for a movie, they want entertainment, NOT to have political messaging shoved down their throat.
Most of these ppl have loved diverse characters in old movies. New movies are just doing DEI swapping of old characters and its NOT entertaining.
Its not inclusion of a person, its that person's rabid propaganda push ruining parties.
The amont of shaming, and accusations of homophobia, misogyny, and racism that went on without pushback from the LGBTQ community and others means "New Woke" deserves to die a harsh death.
No harm will come to them. I would say grow up but I guess you're middle aged, so maybe, get a life would be more appropriate? Young fans will supercede you and your kind. History is on our side.
Disney is failing to entertain while at the same time, pi$$ing near everyone off.
Whatever you glorious vision of the future is, Disney may not be there to see it.

Those of us non crazy people here will miss you all but also good decision, stay the fuck away from here. But sorry.
It means anti-LGBTQ+ stance makes less money.
And that is good news.
the owl house exists, after all
A brave new IPs that entertain and teach.
Because conscience (as we understand it) aliened with greed we can never truly know about this vote. There are other votes.
We control machines.
MAGA BOARD
They will cancel a movie or a show (which is bad enough) to appease the bigots, but they generally won't ACTIVELY throw groups under the bus. That's bad optics.
Do they have to buy in a ton of stock in order to get enough representation to bring the vote in the first place?
Netflix brought it back from cancellation with full-flavour LGBTQ+, with the 'T' bolded, underlined, with a red stroke, and glow from behind...
No donation is too small
Every single one of us!
Target lost the plot by forgetting their brand and image.
I think these soulless CEOs projected their own fickleness onto their customer base and it comes back to hurt their almighty dollars.
I wish them all the worst.
Don't Say Gay II-- DeSantis Boogaloo.
Let us know when there's a transgender Disney princess. Until then, this just reads as 'LGB without the T.'
This administration is STILL deporting people without due process. We MUST fight for our democracy right now!!!
