That would be sad. We need more female empowerment messaging than ever these days.

The truth Is that female empowerment does not take away from male empowerment. They can exist in a story in equal measure. Disney found that balance in The Little Mermaid. Prince Eric had his own life and goals apart from Ariel’s, and she accompanied him in the end on a journey to achieve them.

Also, there is a beautiful depiction of a strong, protective father.

No, Mom didn't zap it....I did. ;-)

Almost all of the moderation here is undertaken by one person, @The Mom, who isn’t paid for her work and has a life beyond these boards. I just checked her activity and see she hasn’t posted anything for days. So rather than assume she’s taking sides (she’s deleted plenty of my posts over the years for what that’s worth) or neglecting her “duties”, perhaps we should all be hoping she’s OK and working on the big collective apology we owe her for the huge mess we’ve created.

She will be back before you know it.

Here is an idea: Since "Mom" is not here right now and there is nobody to police or cancel our speech. Maybe we should ALL internally reflect on everything we said,....and police OURSELVES???

Maybe we could all go back and self-delete things that we "know" Mom would zap if she saw it?

I dunno,...does anybody feel guilty of anything they said? It would be nice to see people do the right thing and censor themselves and maybe make Mom proud when she comes back?

I canceled my own sarcastic post. Maybe others can do the same?

Or maybe this is just another stupid idea of mine? ;-)

Disney wants to make money from Snow White. As others have already explained, they’re not going to get drawn further into the controversy by firing its leading actress, who will presumably be called upon to promote the film. She is not expendable in the way that your hypothetical Jungle Cruise CM is.

Now clearly there’s a point at which Disney would have to cut ties with her. Perhaps she was close to reaching that point with her latest remarks, but she has since issued an apology, perhaps (and probably) under some pressure from Disney. For now, it seems, Disney thinks she is less of a liability than she is a potential asset to their efforts to promote the film. That may well change—for example, if she says something even more ill-advised in the next few months—in which case perhaps Disney will “fire” her. As things stand, however, Disney has made a different (financial and PR) calculation.

I suspect you are probably right. But that still makes me sad. :(

Disney should have the same standards for all of its employees, whether its a $20 an hour Jungle Cruise Skipper or a sparkling new young actress on a $2 Million contract for Snow White.

If anything, the Disney employee that is paid $2 Million for six months of work should be held to a higher standard than the $20 an hour ride operator at Disneyland, not the other way around. And yet, that's apparently not the way Disney works.

As Miss Zegler would say.... That's Hollywood, baby! :rolleyes:

Once again you are using the term "employee" here very broadly, and incorrectly. She WAS an employee while filming the movie, or more specifically she was basically a contractor. She is NO LONGER an employee now that filming has wrapped. Outside of promotion for the film she has no obligation to Disney, and Disney has no obligation to her and can use her or not use her as they see fit to promote the film.

This would be no different if you hired someone to work on your house, they completed the work and you paid them, but then you found out they said something later after that work was completed that you didn't like. Outside of maybe making it known you don't agree with them there is very little that you can do. You can't fire them because they don't work for you anymore.

In regards to a standard of conduct, while filming for Disney they are held to a standard, in most cases the same standard as that Jungle Cruise Skipper that you are so fond of using as an example. You notice we didn't really hear anything from any of the actors of the movie while principal filming was taking place. It was only after principal filming wrapped that we heard anything from them. Those are those standards you are looking for, while employed there wasn't so much as a peep. What you're expecting is that those standards extend beyond their employment, and that just isn't the case. They are not beholden to Disney for lifetime.

As has been the case going on all the way back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, actors are given a certain amount of leeway regarding their lives outside of the projects they are working on. I mean we've had actors and actress that got into all sorts of scandals for now over a 100 years. This is hardly the worst we've seen. The only reason any of us here are even talking about it is because its in relation to Disney and one of their movies. If this was any other actor no one here would even care or bat an eye of it. Which shows you that in the end none of this really matters in the larger scheme of things. Actors, and any other public figure for that matter, are just like any of us, same flaws and all.

This is full-on politics now. Way over the line.

You also seem to have trouble understanding the difference between subjective and objective.

Agreed, it's absolutely terrible and my anxiety is through the roof. It's all highly triggering to say the least.

I don't know how much more of these endless, un-censored opinions I can take.

I feel like I have no protection anymore. Uggg.....

I know my post was only one of several that you quoted, but just to be clear, I didn't accuse @The Mom of taking sides. I said I was genuinely curious why the thread is allowed to continue. That was a true statement. I don't know the answer.
