And so it begins. Apparently a lot of film companies are now going for Christian movies, more white people, less diversity. I fucking hate it!

DW's, what Trump could do

I've been noticing so many Christian movies coming out lately - and really insidiously, too, like just well-produced enough to make you think it's a legit movie, and then there's a comment that makes you go "huh???" and what do you know, it turns out to be a Christian production company.

clothing brands too. she didn't say the name of the brand, but Jessi Paege said that the clothing company she was supposed to promote dropped her all of a sudden because she's a lesbian.

It's really worth mentioning that the trans character at the center of this episode, Brooklyn, has been in the show since its debut and is voiced by Indya Moore.

Also omitted is that the episode's story is based around Brooklyn both feeling less-than and harassed as a trans athlete [Spoiler (click to open)]by none other than a blonde Karen who makes it a point to bring up her gender identity as a negative/gotcha. Also a stand-in for the 'big bad".

obligatory fuck Disney

Of course they did.

It’s gross that these major companies are sanewashing and even endorsing/supporting project 2025 agendas. Most likely because they are afraid of losing their tax breaks. Bob Iger can’t stomach the thought of being seen in last year’s mega yacht.

Semi related, but I saw an ABC news bit on “Nazi protestors”. And no they weren’t talking about people protesting Nazis, they were talking about a group of protestors that were literally Nazis. Last I checked, they were a hate group, and to call them protestors is just vile, and sadly a sign of our times.
