Disney General - The saddest fandom on Earth

[Oats12345]

Concerning Disney's recent backpedaling over Florida's Don't Say Gay bill, Governor DeSantis made a pretty devastating point:

Good fucking question, Ron. In fact, the Chinese Communist Party literally has a straight-up No Gays Allowed rule. China forbids depicting effeminate-looking -- "gay" looking -- men anywhere. And yet, Disney hasn't said a fucking word about that. I wonder why....?

Here's the full video of DeSantis telling Bob Chapek to go pound Chinese sand:

From Randy Newman and Peter Gabriel to Billie Eyelash. Fuck me.

Man Ron is so based!!! I mean you really can't defend Disney there and if you do it shows how hypocritical you really are.

Apparently the line "MY PANDA, MY CHOICE MOM!!!11" is used at some point in the film.

The absolute state of Pixar.

Friend hasn't gotten back to me since he watched it last night, but he thought it odd that Mei's mother thinks the ginger kid, Miriam, is weird when Abby, the dwarf pudge, is a literal feral child.

Miriam's a white tomboy, Abby's a trad Asian even with the feral tendencies. I can see why the mum would skim over her.

So who's the gay one?

Yeah, that sure is early 2000s as fuck.

Just finished it and I actually enjoyed it. As much as I dislike modern Disney, I was actually surprised as to how the movie handled the main point of its story and the message in itself. I won't claim to know how Asian families are but aside from the (imo) forced diversity where they lived, it felt spot on for a westernized Chinese family. Only the mom up until the climax resolution was a fucking bother and many of her scenes were extremely embarrassing and cringe in a secondhand embarrassment way. I really would ignore the shitty opinion pieces about how "unapologetic" it is about periods or whatever. It's actually complex for what it's talking about and it doubles down on it.

My critiques on the film are the faces the characters with obvious ethnical features when translated to cringe anime, look very uncanny. I personally got used to it quickly but it's only decent on the feral Korean girl. I felt like they hammered too hard on the mom being a helicopter parent especially at the beginning. I don't have much to complain about. It's about an hour 30 overall and i felt that the length did the story justice. The anime reactions for the pandas are far better than the humans.

I know I know, women led whatever but as skeptical as I am with modern mouse works I can safely say that it's in my top three pixar films. It's something i wish i had at around that time myself. The movie really felt personal.

So who's the gay one?

Probably the male bully considering he hangs out with the girls in the end despite being a typical preteen bully. But since this is 2002 he might just be into a boyband or something idfk.

Miriam's a white tomboy, Abby's a trad Asian even with the feral tendencies. I can see why the mum would skim over her.

Ming skipping over Abby was not lost on me. Even when she got on them for "exploiting" her daughter, it didn't feel like she was addressing her only Miriam and the Indian girl. She even admits that she dislike the latter which was a little funny to me. The little things that did appear in the movie were impressive.

Apparently the line "MY PANDA, MY CHOICE MOM!!!11" is used at some point in the film.

Spoiler: Movie Details

Its not as bad as it sounds when you single it out. I'm not gonna convince you or anyone else that it's a good line (it isn't my place to try) but Meilin is essentially forced by her hyper trad Asian family to get rid of the panda. She controls the panda halfway through the movie thanks to her friends being her only support system. This is a huge plot point for another plot point about the panda being harder to control the more it slips out. Meilin gets it not only under control but they actually monetize it and run a pretty amazing hustle for concert tickets to the BackstreeSync band they want to see. When the first climax of the film happens, Mei defies her family tradition of getting rid of the panda (its now an inconvenient curse from an ancestor since it's modern time so when they get rid of it by the Ancient Chinese Ritual, it's stored in jewelry) by keeping it. Ming accidentally cracks her necklace and turns into kaiju red panda and Mei finally stands up to her. That's where the line comes in at.

I've said it before but it bears repeating: Oftentimes it's not the content that's the cringe part, it's the PR and advertising surrounding it that gives off the image of something insincere and just there to score brownie points.

There's a troon kid. There is nothing the film could provide me that will adequately incur any form of goodwill on my end. So I'm admittedly not going to be fair no matter how decent the film is.

That's fair and I respect that totally. I didn't want to try and convince you to see something you don't care for since you had your mind made up. I just wanted to give you a smidge of context.

 

[Overcast]

I wonder how Walt would feel knowing that his company now endorses child abuse?

Then again, supposedly he made some sexual comments about that one young girl at the end of The Jungle Book, so who knows?

Made while he only had one functional lung left and was dying of cancer, so who knows what state his mind was in by then.

There's a troon kid.

But How obvious is it said kid is a troon? Remember it's animation so you have to try and fail at passing at trooning out.

Just finished it and I actually enjoyed it.

Kled what are you smoking and can I please have some?

That pure strain of optimism <3

NGL, I am enjoying watching Disney try to do some damage control over Floridas Don’t Say Gay bill.

Apparently, Bob Chapek said a email to all of their cast members where he gets down on his hands and knees and sucks the tranny dick to tell them how he completely failed them and he should have been working harder to protect their alphabet employees. I’m also hearing that their HR and employee minority groups are now dragging other employees into long and in numerable Pride meetings to discuss just how badly all of their LGBT employees and family members have been hurt by this.

I think the one part I like the best, and maybe this is just me who noticed it, is that Josh D’Amaro oversold the move to Lake Nona, telling employees how great it would be to move to Florida, how taxes and costs and housing is just better in Florida, and now most of the LGBT employee who have agreed to move there are probably telling their friends and allies that if they do, they are literally going to be having Hitler for a roommate and living in a Nazi state or something ridiculous like that.

I only have one thing to say to Chapek:

Reporting here to tell you guys right now that Turning Red already has a fandom that is as bad as Luca because they're shipping the kids with each other.
So every cartoon fandom.

 

[MysticMisty]

Something that I don't get with Turning Red is why is it such a big deal that they're all Canadian and it's set in Toronto? Like, who gives a shit? People don't make excessive fuss about where most movies are set, which is why it stands out so much that people keep going "they're Canadian~ it's Canada~".

How can it be a national treasure without Nic Cage, he's literally the national treasure.

 

[MirrorNoir]

Can someone to explain me why anyone is nostalgic for the 2000s? From what I remember, it was a pretty shitty and miserable time.

Even with 911 and the Iraq War, there was a sense of "everyone come together" post 911 that will never happen again due to how Obama and the Democrats have pozzed society.

Also there was some good stuff music-wise, a golden age of TV shows (in particular FX and HBO's shows but also Lost, Desperate Housewives, Arrested Development, Family Guy, South Park in it's prime), and a sense of society before being utterly and completely pozzed by the SJW death cult that came about once Obama got into office.
