I think the problem is that some are now feeling what many others have felt for generations and are fighting to try to keep the status quo, unfortunately progress marches on. No longer should certain groups be kept to jokes and side characters within movies, all should get their time in the light.
I don't see anything wrong with being called "friend" as I mentioned, to me its even more neutral and inclusive to do so. Which is probably why Canadians have been doing it for a long time.

Have fun!
One thing I love about the movies is turning my phone off!
So much for respectful discussion. Lol
When I did follow hockey I was a Sharks fan, so I know the pain of having to root for players you despise during the season during Worlds. Next year is going to be interesting with hockey back in the Olympics.
Welcome to being a Disney Fan Site poster.... The more you post the more you stay engaged the more you want to respond. Its a cycle that never quits, because you get to know your fellow posters and its like a community or a dysfunctional family.
It can get heated at times but the vast majority of the time it’s just people talking, something that’s sorely missing in America today. It’s nice to have a place online we can agree, disagree, argue, etc and not have it devolve (99% of the time) into name calling and animosity just because we hold different opinions.
Like I said we’re a dysfunctional family here.
You can’t have it both ways. On the one hand, you’re praising shows of past decades for including gay characters without fuss or fanfare “as normal and routine parts of society”. But when Inside Out 2 does the same with a Black character, you decry it as pandering and inorganic.Breathe.
I made up that plotline and pulled that example out of thin air, as I vaguely remember it being discussed in a thread here or on the Disneyland side.
The fact that you have to dig up some article to prove that somewhere on planet Earth there is a Black lady who coaches hockey proves the point.
If you have to go to Google to see if something actually exists, it's not going to read as organic to the audience.
(“And therefore not worth responding to”, I hear you thinking!)
You sound just as confused as I am where that line is…As being woke use to be a positive…. But because someone was offended by black mermaids and a lesbian astronaut the term was demonize
I will never understand how being kind and inclusive to others bothers some people.
Completely agree
This isn't a race or a competition, it's a conversation. A discussion, if you will.
If you think it's organic for a kids hockey coach to be a Black Lesbian, then go for it and live your own adventure. But most folks would find that character casting to be jarring and incongruous to natural storytelling.
