    This is not about “DEI” it’s about marketing and demographic, in short economic interest, personally i wouldn’t throw them flowers.

      You are right, but also, I think it’s okay to take the small victories where they are. They shouldn’t have to be applauded for doing the bare minimum, but when this bare minimum is a big middle finger to the administration I’ll look the other way

          I agree, but in the right circumstances. Posting it here in the comment section is one thing, we’re discussing their actions. But some people (not you, necessarily) will take it a step further and go bully a company when they take a good step because the step wasn’t big/good enough. We gotta positively reinforce good behavior

            Indeed, I’m just quite cynical when it comes to Disney due to their recent lobbying of homophobic politicians, but yeah, right now everything is better than the other options…
