Disney World Appears To Allow Biological Men To Play Female Characters

/1 Comment/in , /by

A family attending an expensive dinner at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge at Walt Disney World Resort had a character experience they were not expecting. According to the father, they complained after the Evil Queen was not what they anticipated.

In 2023, The Walt Disney Company faced criticism from conservatives and some moderates when photos and videos surfaced of a biological male cast member wearing a dress while working as a “Fairy-Godmother-in-training” at the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique princess boutique for little girls at the Magic Kingdom. This biological male had facial hair and makeup but there was never any clarification as to presented gender identity. For many families, the cast member’s stated gender identity would not have mattered much. Video of the mustached biological male in a dress leading small girls into a salon has resurfaced often by families critical of Disney’s reimagining of traditional values. Of course, for others of a different mindset, there was nothing wrong with this at all and the internet reaction was either intolerant or inappropriate.

According to the father who reached out to That Park Place reporters, the Evil Queen, antagonist of the first Walt Disney animated feature, appeared to be played by a biological male at Artist Point in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. Story Book Dining at Artist Point is listed by the Walt Disney World website as a premium character dining experience with adults expecting to pay $60 per meal.

According to the father:

While we were waiting for the desserts to come out we received our invitation to meet the Evil Queen which we were really looking forward to. Keep in mind we’ve had other meet and greets with other Villains and they are truly the best character experiences that we’ve ever had so we had high hopes for the Evil Queen leading up. So we all walked over towards the Evil Queen area and while my kids and wife were interacting with the character I was doing some video and took a few pictures from about 10 feet away then handed my iPhone over to the cast member to take some pics for me so I could get in the picture. It was kind of loud inside so I couldn’t really hear what the character was saying until I got face to face (typical conversation distance of a few feet) and then it hit me that the Evil Queen without a doubt had a man’s voice.

The 1792 Exchange launched a database exposing the political biases of woke Fortune 250 companies such as Disney.

The 1792 Exchange is a nonprofit dedicated to providing resources and developing policies to educate Americans about “woke” companies, as well as the dangers with Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing.

The nonprofit launched its “Board Bias” database exposing the political activities and ideological statements from board members and executives.

“The Board Bias database gives folks a fuller picture of the people behind the decisions made by corporations. We hope it’s a tool that informs shareholders and educates the public,” Daniel Cameron, the CEO of the 1792 Exchange, told Breitbart News in a statement.

Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney on Wednesday capitulated in its long-running legal battle against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — handing a victory to the Republican in the high-stakes fight over a $17 billion planned development at the company’s theme park near Orlando.

The Mouse House agreed to a settlement that gives up its self-governing powers over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which was dissolved by DeSantis in 2022 after the company opposed his “Don’t Say Gay” bill. Disney had controlled the special tax district for decades.

As part of the deal, Bob Iger’s Disney also agreed to drop a lawsuit over access to public records and defer briefings in a federal lawsuit it filed against DeSantis as the two sides try to reach a consensus on a new development agreement for Walt Disney World, among other matters.

“This agreement opens a new chapter of constructive engagement with the new leadership of the district,” Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle said.

DeSantis took a victory lap after the stunning turn of events, saying his administration was “vindicated” by the settlement with one of Florida’s biggest employers following the two-year feud. (Read more from “Disney Caves in High-Stakes Lawsuit Against Ron DeSantis” HERE)

Ridiculous: Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Under Fire for ‘Dead-Naming’ Trans-Identifying Composer

/4 Comments/in , /by

The team behind Disney+ “Star Wars” spinoff “The Bad Batch” is under fire after a trans-identifying composer who contributed to the show was reportedly “dead-named” in the credits of the most recent episode.

The error was highlighted by an X account belonging to the “Daughters of Ferrix” podcast — which, according to the account bio, explores “‘Star Wars’ from a political, historical, and queer perspective.”

“The newest episode of #TheBadBatch deadnames trans composer Deana Kiner in the credits. This shouldn’t have happened in the first place, so it’s something that LFL or Disney need to fix NOW,” the podcast account posted on X along with a screenshot showing the composer listed as “Dean Kiner” rather than “Deana Kiner” in the credits.

“Was this done with malice? I thoroughly doubt it. But it is EXTREMELY careless, particularly because the previous three episodes, as released a week ago, didn’t carry the error. Someone f***ed up big,” the complaint continued, along with a screenshot from a previous episode showing Kiner’s first name as “Deana.”

The follow-up post tagged both “The Bad Batch” head writer and producer Jennifer Corbett and the official Disney+ Help account, demanding that someone look into the situation and resolve it. (Read more from “Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ Spinoff Under Fire for ‘Dead-Naming’ Trans-Identifying Composer” HERE)

Disney Board Wants To Hide Political Donations, Spending On Sex Changes From Shareholders, Docs Reveal

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Walt Disney Company board wants to hide key financial data from the public, particularly as it relates to their funding of the transgender movement and donations to political candidates, documents reviewed by the Daily Caller reveal.

The 2024 proxy vote ballot for Disney’s annual shareholder meeting, scheduled for April 2, reveals the board doesn’t want the public, or even their own shareholders, to know how much Disney spends on “gender transition compensation and benefits” for its staff. Despite the board’s suggested vote to shareholders, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) and National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) are urging the company to release the data.

In Disney’s 2024 “Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement,” Disney details how the NLPC and NCPPR notified the company that they intend to present proposals focused on these issues. Within the same document, Disney “affirms” that people who suffer from gender dysphoria can “transition to a different sex.” However, “an increasing body of scientific evidence shows no benefits result from such medical treatments,” the NLPC argues. They go on to cite the European and American medical community’s “increasing” caution about gender-transition “therapies.”

“Victims report transition treatments and surgeries are harmful. Examples include long-lasting or permanent outcomes like chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, unwanted hair loss or hair gain, menstrual irregularities, urinary problems, and other complications,” the statement continues. “Rather than resolve health problems ‘gender affirming’ therapies instead often exacerbate them. In such instances, those who desire to ‘detransition’ cannot find medical care or insurance coverage, and are permanently mutilated. Many of these sufferers litigate against those who misled or harmed them.”

Ex-Star Wars Actress Files Lawsuit Against Disney and Lucasfilm

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former Star Wars actress Gina Carano announced Tuesday that she is suing the Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm roughly three years after she was fired over social media posts she had made.

Carano explained that she was contacted by a lawyer from X who helped her move forward with this lawsuit. X owner Elon Musk announced last year that those who were mistreated or fired from their employer “due to posting or liking something on this platform” would have their legal bill funded by X.

Carano, who had played the role of Cara Dune in the Star Wars television series The Mandalorian, was fired from her role in February 2021, with Lucasfilm stating online that her social media posts were “denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities.” The actress has denied this, stating on X that “nothing could be further from the truth.”

“The truth is I was being hunted down from everything I posted to every post I liked because I was not in line with the acceptable narrative of the time,” Carano wrote on X. “My words were consistently twisted to demonize & dehumanize me as an alt right wing extremist. It was a bullying smear campaign aimed at silencing, destroying & making an example out of me.”

Just before her firing, Carano had posted on Instagram that Jews in the Holocaust were beaten up simply for their religious beliefs, with the post questioning, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” Some people online interpreted Carano’s post as comparing Republicans to Jews, though Carano has denied making such a comparison.

Disney Teams up With Transgender TikTok Influencer to Promote Girls Apparel: ‘I Literally Look Like Minnie Mouse!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Walt Disney Co. has teamed up with a transgender TikTok influencer to promote apparel for girls — specifically, Minnie Mouse-themed clothes that include a red dress, yellow pumps, and a red hair bow.

Transgender influencer Seann Altman — a biological male who identifies as “gender fluid” — created a promotional TikTok video for Disney Style, the company’s social media brand promoting Disney-themed clothing, makeup, and accessories.

In the video, which was first reported by the Twitter account @LeftismForU, he provides a dress-up tutorial to look like Minnie Mouse. The video was subsequently posted to Disney Style’s official TikTok account.

Altman models a red dress, which he accessorizes with a white petticoat, yellow high-heel shoes, and a belt. He then adds artificial buns to his hair to simulate Minnie’s ears and tops it off with Minnie’s signature red bow.

“I literally look like Minnie Mouse!” he enthuses. (Read more from “Disney Teams up With Transgender TikTok Influencer to Promote Girls Apparel: ‘I Literally Look Like Minnie Mouse!’” HERE)

Disney Gives ‘Little Mermaid’ the Progressive-Live Action Treatment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney has made billions remaking its classic animated films into live-action versions sanitized so as not to offend modern cultural sensibilities, and by the initial accounts, “The Little Mermaid” is no different.

The much-anticipated remake, which premiered Friday to varied critical reviews, features a boatload of tweaks to the plot and lyrics intended to bring the 1989 original in line with contemporary social mores.

Scuttle the male sea gull is now Scuttle the female gannet. Ariel, played by Halle Bailey, is Black and hails from a mixed-race family of mermaids and mermen. King Triton checks the environmental box by denouncing humans for polluting the ocean.

Melissa McCarthy, who plays Ursula the sea witch in the remake, told Deadline earlier this month that her performance was modeled — as the original animated character was — on the late drag queen celebrity Divine.

“I just hope to do every incredible drag queen proud,” Ms. McCarthy said. (Read more from “Disney Gives ‘Little Mermaid’ the Progressive-Live Action Treatment” HERE)

Corporate Media Is Hiding the Real Reason Disney Canceled Its New Florida Investment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disney scrapped its plan to build a new office complex in Florida that would have cost the company nearly $1 billion. While the move is likely part of an overall cost-cutting plan, the corporate media framed the story as a virtuous rebuke of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ policies.

In The New York Times’ coverage, reporter Brooks Barnes lamented the 2,000 jobs that the Lake Nona region of Florida was set to lose due to Disney’s decision. The project would have re-located mostly high-paid Disney employees from the current California office to a new campus 20 miles from Disney World.

However, Barnes spent the bulk of the article framing the move around Disney’s, as well as the Democrats’ preferred narrative. He blamed the move on DeSantis’ “scorched-earth attempt” to reign in Disney’s foray into left-wing gender politics. He discussed a memo, viewed by the Times, that blamed the “changing business conditions” in Florida for forcing Disney to reconsider further investment in the state.

The memo did not mention DeSantis by name, but it didn’t have to. There was no need for Disney CEO (and prominent Biden supporter) Bob Iger to get his hands dirty and spark another public sparring match with DeSantis. Disney executives let the media do the dirty work for them. Two anonymous sources confirmed to the Times that Disney’s “battle with the governor and his allies in the Florida Legislature figured prominently into Disney’s decision to cancel the Lake Nona project.” That is all the corporate press needed to justify sparking the latest anti-DeSantis narrative.

Disney Worker Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Posted About ‘Hot Teens’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A longtime Disney World employee was arrested for allegedly sharing child pornography and uploading pictures of a pal’s underage daughter online — saying he wanted to “impregnate her.”

Daniel Rivera, a Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts employee of 20 years, was booked at the Orange County Jail following a months-long investigation into his Dropbox account that contained several files of children under 10 having sex with adult men.

Investigators said Rivera, a father-of-two, admitted to obtaining child porn about once a week for the last 10 years, and even shared personal information about coworkers on adult sites, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Rivera allegedly shared about 155 posts on the sites, “including several photos of young girls and women he claims he knows,” according to court records.

Several of them included coworkers dressed as Disney characters, with Rivera allegedly posting in an online forum that “hot teens in mouse ears are a weakness of mine.” (Read more from “Disney Worker Arrested on Child Porn Charges, Posted About ‘Hot Teens’” HERE)
