What's your issue with her?
She’s too political. I’ve heard she discriminates white people for tv shows. And besides, Disney can’t afford to have another political CEO at Disney. I’m sorry, but I don’t trust her and I’m trusting my gut.
Stop listening to the YouTubers.
This is the ex Disney exec that left for greener pastures to be CEO at Tik Tok only to be fired 3 months later. Prior to Disney he was an exec for Playboy. He probably experienced a fun time with the playmates at the Playboy Mansion.Interesting article out of Fortune today, as Mayer lays out his vision of the next Disney CEO -

Former top Disney exec Kevin Mayer says: "No one is irreplaceable."
And while you were looking up his bio you forgot to mention he was only at Playboy for 8 months, leaving there to become CEO of Clear Channel Interactive. So not sure your point. Also was he really fired from Tiktok or did he decide to step down due to pressure from the Administration at the time surrounding parent company ByteDance.
He flip flops, worked at Disney then left for greener pastures , went back to Disney , left Disney again to go to Tik Tok fired at Tik Tok 3 months later , started a company with Staggs, both resigned later then started another company with Staggs. You don't think before he took the Tik Tok job he knew he was not going into a minefield?
That is not typically the definition of flip flop. But nonetheless just because he has moved a bunch doesn't mean he isn't suited for the job.
I haven't listen to those Disney hating douchebags for quite a long time. Nonetheless, I don't know if I want to trust Dana Walden. I think Kevin Mayer is a better choice. And maybe he can partner with Tom Staggs as his co ceo so we can have another Walt and Roy and Eisner and Wells.
First, there is no reason for name calling.
Fine, just be thankful I'm not being doom and gloom recently!
Are YouTubers making deepfakes of her making her say words she never said? Because some of the more troubling things I’ve read have been in written interviews.
The anti-Disney/anti-Hollywood YouTubers tend to take things said out of context to rile up their followers. Without getting into specifics none of what she said that I’ve seen is all that political in my opinion.
There’s nothing political about what she said. I agree: I’ve read the interview.
I disagree as there is nothing wrong with making sure all voices are heard in Hollywood. If that means some “traditional” stories get passed on so be it. If they are worth telling they will find a home, plenty of places now where stories can be told.
Despite your own closemindedness, you seem to have a more open mind than Walden. She expressly said that she passed on great scripts because the cast didn’t meet some racial/ethnic standard she had set. There’s no indication those stories found a home - if they did, it wasn’t at Disney.
I’m not close minded at all, I’m open to all types of stories being told. But if under represented voices are being silenced just so more “traditional” stories can be told, well that I’m against.
You’re conflating “traditional” stories with certain immutable aspects of the characters. You could tell a non-traditional story with white characters, or a “traditional” story with a multiethnic cast. It seems she’s passing on great stories unless the characters are diverse, which strikes me as wrong.
