Disney are busy with board of directors woes and care only about their profit, I know this is companies everywhere. I also know that they should care about their reputation. They'd never defend anyone. They need viewers. They're bleeding and desperate

They'd sacrifice an actor live if it got them a small increase in subscribers.

Disney and Marvel Studios made sure implicate Nia DaCosta for The Marvels’ failure, and literally everything surrounding Halle Bailey and The Little Mermaid. Their deployment of “diversity” has always been shallow and cynical, so I’m glad we’re no longer pretending that studios don’t benefit or promote these culture wars.

OUI

I'm mad af about this. It's been going on for a while but the Acolyte has really been the nail in the coffin. I'll watch Andor because I'm already invested but I won't watch anything more from Star Wars. Let those incels be their only public and see how it fucking goes.

She's 100% right but Disney would never do it if it affects even $1 of their profit. I hope more call Disney out for their shit.

100% agree.

And the actors from the sequel trilogy got it (racism, misogyny) hard as well and where was Disney?
