    This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007’s Bridge to Terabithia.

    So it’s not really the first then, is it?

    An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney’s attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.

    This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren’t they leaving money on the table like this? “Well, because of Trump.” Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??

    This article isn’t very well written. Many such cases, sadly.

      The majority doesn’t approve of more LGBT characters either, it’s just Newsweek being intentionally misleading.

      In summary, 36 percent disapproved in some form, 34 percent approved, while 31 percent neither approved nor disapproved, or didn’t know how they felt.

      I’d venture the majority of people prefer a good story. When you shoehorn any elements into a story it distracts the audience. The Star Trek Beyond Lt Sulu scene is a good example it did not provide any character or story development. Many of the star wars shows have similar elements which hurt an all ready damaged story.

        I mean, my sister killed that movie for me when I was a kid, just like Little Mermaid.

        But now that I have a choice, I choose not to watch those movies.

        But if you want to change a German folklore story that was written in 1812 with a bunch of stupid ideologies, you can watch it all you want lol
