Disney removes transgender storyline from upcoming Pixar streaming series

Quote:
Disney pulled a transgender storyline from “Win or Lose,” an eight-episode Pixar streaming series that debuts in February, the company said Tuesday.

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”

The character will remain in the show, but references to the character’s gender identity have been removed, the company said. The alteration involves “just a few lines of dialogue” near the end of the season.

“Win or Lose” centers on a co-ed middle school softball team in the lead-up to a big game, with each episode focusing on a different character’s perspective. The animated series features the voices of “Saturday Night Live” alumnus Will Forte and “Fresh Off the Boat” actor Ian Chen.

The storyline alteration drew criticism from Chanel Stewart, an 18-year-old transgender actor who voiced the transgender character.

“I was very disheartened,” Stewart told Deadline, an entertainment news website. Stewart told the publication that Disney called her mother Monday night to let her know about the change.

“From the moment I got the script, I was excited to share my journey to help empower other trans youth,” Stewart said. “I knew this would be a very important conversation. Trans stories matter, and they deserve to be heard.”

Disney CEO Bob Iger has said he wants the company to move away from themes that could be perceived as political. “Infusing messaging is not what we’re up to,” Iger said in an interview with CNBC in early April. “We need to be entertaining.”

Oh, the irony.

Humans are hypocritical by nature. Look at me, for example. When a CEO in NYC was shot and killed and people in the USA acted as if it was a Christmas miracle I thought it was really stupid and gross. But if someone somehow finally succeeds in making orange man take the permanent dirt nap I will be feeling anything but disgust. Especially since Canada will surely be annexed by the orange man, and I will hate that. As if there haven't enough New Normals for an aging Karen like me to get used to in just the past decade. :evil:

I'm sure it'll be a 3-day Special Military Operation and absolutely nothing will go wrong. :skull:

An apt description is like a septic tank. The really big chunks always rise to the top.

Nice analogy cyberdad, and thanks for doing lots of "research for non Americans"
This thread took such a long time to get back on topic I've forgotten what I had to add.

From my OP:
“ We have been ranting about woke cancel culture a lot here lately, a lot of it from me. They did not invent this. It was the conservatives that wrote the book. All the wokes have done is written the updated edition.

1934 - Hays code:”


Once a bad precedent is set everybody reaps what had been sown. Now Zionist and Anti-Zionist cancel cultures have come to fore. That nobody has defined them this way shows how deeply ingrained intolerance for differing views have become in the supposed land of the free.
