Disney has been outspoken on DeSantis' parental rights bill but silent on Uyghur genocide

video
The Walt Disney Company is an American industrial titan with a loud voice the company has used to campaign against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ parental rights bill.

As loud as they are against a state policy they disagree with, Disney has been silent about the ongoing Uyghur Muslim genocide in China — even as they film movies there.

Fox Business reached out to Disney asking why it appears they are more vocal in speaking out on the DeSantis-backed bill than the literal genocide going on in China, and if the company would condemn the ethnic cleansing.

DISNEY’S LEFT-WING ACTIVISM CREATES ‘ENVIRONMENT OF FEAR’ THAT IS ‘DAMAGING MORALE,’ SOME WORKERS SAY




Disney did not respond to Fox Business' request for comment.

DeSantis’ spokeswoman Christina Pushaw eviscerated Disney in a Friday email to Fox Business, blasting the Mouse House as having "failed to condemn the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations" but that the company’s disposition towards the genocide is "much worse than ‘silence.’"

"Disney has actively endorsed the CCP’s mistreatment of ethnic and religious minorities," Pushaw said. "Disney’s live-action film Mulan (2020) was filmed in Xinjiang, with Uyghur internment camps edited out of the background. Disney actually thanked Xinjiang CCP officials (the same communists forcing Uyghurs into gulags) in the credits of the movie."…

I’m glad that the Fox Business Network noticed and reported on this news story. The blatant hypocrisy of Disney and it’s obvious double standards as to how it acts here and abroad needed to be reported on. While they protest parental rights here in red states, they tacitly endorse genocide in Communist China.

 

Clearly Disney thinks it can gain more dollars kissing communist Chinas ass than it will lose offending half of America.

 

Oh well.
China isn't THEIR Problem.
Why expect so much from Disney?
Are they expected to solve the World's Problems?
Anybody who doesn't like it can boycott their content and sell their stock.
^Problem solved.

 

Why is talking to kindergartners about homosexuality so important to Disney?

 

Is everyone required to talk about single every issue on the planet in order to avoid being accused of endorsing it?

There are many things you are not raving against, but should that mean you endorse those things?

Seems pretty dishonest if you asked me, but what else is new in todays hyper partisan world.

 

How many businesses are boycotting Russia over their invasion but literally run to China while ignoring their human rights violations, or as Biden calls them, cultural norms.

 

Because it bans acknowledgment of even same sex families and children's books containing same sex couples even when sexuality isn’t a theme. If this bill only stated that only sexual themes were banned virtually no one would have an issue with it but it bans whatever they deem explicit all the way up to the 12th grade.

It’s like most of you haven’t read the bill or are ignoring the potential for abuse because it targets a group you don’t like — I know it’s the latter but I will give everyone the doubt of being ignorant on the topic instead of being a cognitively dissonant bigot.

 

Disney top brass are ducking hypocrites. This bill hurts absolutely NO ONE and it’s the end of the world? But the Chinese are torturing people in factories, socially and politically, and/or making them disappear due to their beliefs or if they say the wrong thing, and Leftists have nothing to say.

They’re all a total joke. They don’t give a crap except money. Same with Apple “caring”. They don’t care. Their scruples are phoney ****.

 

My suggestion would be to ask them (directly).
Or try Google.

 

I already sold my Disney stock. Is it too much to expect them to be an American corporation and reflect American ideals and values when doing business abroad? Is it too much to ask of a publicly held American company to not take sides and remain neutral in domestic political issues within a state?

 

Great question!

 

So, it was ok to edit out the genocidal concentration camps from the scenery and thank the regime for its cooperation?

 

Edit out? Was it on the script?

 

It was the local scenery where the movie was filmed as the credits ran including thanking the state hosting the camps.

 

Ah yes why would Disney have an opinion on state politics… in a state they have a series of resorts and amusement parks in?

As for the fallacy? This has been ongoing for years. Has the OP ever expressed an opinion on the genocide in Burma?

 

Parents being able to sue schools and be awarded financial compensation because a teacher mentioned another child's same sex parents or acknowledges that homosexuality exists in history lessons “hurts no one”? That’s an interesting take

 

They are reflecting American values:
Record-High 70% in U.S. Support Same-Sex Marriage

Strange how your stance has changed on a “publicly held American company to not take sides and remain neutral in domestic political issues”.

 

Not sure...

(Although, it is refreshing to actually see a thread (of this nature) posted in the CORRECT Section (for once).
It must suck for the Mods to have to be constantly cleaning up after the same people who don't understand Rule 11 (or the reasons for the Rule)).

^Nothing personal, of course.
Just a General Observation about Serial Rule Violators.

 

Wasn't Mulan a period piece? Don't most historical films edit out modern additions to the landscape. If you are filming Gladiator and their is a plane flying overhead during the battle with the Gauls I am sure they would edit it out.

 

Cite the language in the bill that states the mere mention of someone being gay can award money vs simply TEACHING children that boys can be girls and girls can be boys if they feel like it…to kindergarten kids.

 

Its not. Remember how at first they had no stance whatsoever? Only until the leftist mob started whining and waving their tranny paraphernalia around the entrance to the park, and seeing their employees call for walk-outs did Disney take a side. Like most of these companies hawking their wares every time an LGBT or black month comes along they don't really give a damn what the triggered rabble think, they're just using them to make money.

 

Telling the Groomers To Stuff it.

“If the same Hollywood elites who upheld degenerates like Harvey Weinstein now oppose our efforts to protect parental rights, I wear that like a badge of honor,” DeSantis says at signing ceremony.

Protecting Children From The Groomer Freaks.​

Let the children simply be children:

What kind of adult freak wants to enter into a sexual discussion with a five year old?

​

Even sensible Democrats support this:

So the rank and file Dems, even the primary voters have an overall sensible response to this, but, the radical Dems at the Capitol have an activist extremist view.

 

Lines 97-101: Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
​

The vagueness of the bill is the purpose. Districts will remove all material and limit discussion to prevent any potential suit. This has already been done before and I don’t see how anyone could read this bill and not see it’s intention unless they are being willfully ignorant.

Lines 129-130; 146-151: If a concern is not resolved by the school district, a parent may …. Bring an action against the school district to obtain a declaratory judgment that the school district procedure or practice violates this paragraph and seek injunctive relief. A court may award damages and shall award reasonable attorney fees and court costs to a parent who receives declaratory or injunctive relief.​

Shani M. King, a University of Florida law professor, noted that the idea of deputizing parents to enforce a law — at schools’ expense — had previously been used in legislation limiting discussion of critical race theory, resulting in schools pre-emptively canceling events and removing reading materials from shelves, in order to avoid expensive litigation. The combination of the bill’s broad, vague language and punitive enforcement mechanism could lead to a similar dynamic.​

Change the words sexual orientation with Christian being administered in a hyper anti-religious state government and see if you suddenly understand.

 

No, which means he endorses it.

 

Clearly. You know back in 2016 I was reading about this genocide and wondering if anyone would care about it. Kinda wish more people had been talking about it then. Myself included.
