Don't be surprised when most people don't watch it...

Mass child abuse, kids don’t know better, this is crazy.

You be you. Just don't expect me to glorify you for being you. And also, leave the kids alone. Those are the terms of every sane American.

As a parent it’s important that I don’t let my children watch Disney films or any other modern TV.

Representation? They make up a few percent of the population and are in 50% of commercials....

Your films are being seen by people trying to ban things. These movies are why you are seeing more people calling for bans. Not less 😂

How about a representation of all those children exploited by the fashion industry, the same industry that creates your "fancy" clothes.

Less not more is what is needed Disney should be 18 plus these days

I’m more concerned about possible attacks on Christians by Trans people

William Haines, whom few know anymore, was a big star in the early days of movies when they were all silent. He did lose his career when he was more open about his sexuality.
