Lol I saw the movie the first day it came out. Spent $130 between Fandango fees, fancy Dolby seats and popcorn.

Anything to silence opinions they don't agree with.. call em an ist and phobe.
So let me get this straight. I asked you this: "But in this particular case, I can't see what being uneasy in the presence of other human beings (unless, of course, those humans are actively threatening you) actually buys you. You'd have to fill me in on that. What's the gain in wanting to keep children in the dark and/or feeling uneasy about homosexuality? And more to the point, what is so uneasy about seeing cartoon depictions of it? None of it's even kind of real."
You deflected by asking a question, which I answered, and then you preceded to never come back to the question at all. Sounds on brand. Your "Seriously?" also implies that I don't know anyone with children AND that their parents (my friends) haven't made sure that they know about gay people (which they have) AND that I can't see for myself that no one's been harmed by this revelation.

Just like when people call others woke and snowflake.

So my kids haven’t stopped listening to the Trolls album since we saw the movie. Makes sense they’re colorful little things that appeal to kids, it’s the third installment and that new N’sync song ( I refuse to say N’sync and Justin Timberlake - what an ego) is pretty damn catchy.
Today I put on the Wish soundtrack for the first time since we saw the movie. I think “At All Costs” is by far the best song of the soundtrack. Would have been a lot more powerful if it was between Asha and a love interest. Kind of wish they kept that Peter Pan looking humanoid star in the movie. I think it would have helped a lot. But Asha don’t need no man!

Truth does sting sometimes. And not sure how what I posted was trying to silence anyone but I removed the “offensive” word and guess what…I’m still not trying to silence anyone. Great post otherwise.

That’s the problem, isn’t it? People are applying the term as and when it suits them. The eminently feminist Barbie isn’t woke, while the bland and apolitical Lightyear is. The deck is stacked, with Disney always emerging the “pandering” loser.

If your enjoyment of a piece of media is effected by the identity of one of the characters - whether they are LGBTQ or Jewish or Irish or whatever - then yes, some self-examination is likely in order.
If you feel certain identity groups are “inappropriate” and should not be depicted in family entertainment - some self-examination is likely in order.

Some of us are educators, uncles and aunts, godparents, mentors, etc. We shape young people’s lives every day without being parents ourselves.
And I’ve never imposed my views on anyone. Having and expressing an opinion is not the same as forcing others to subscribe to it.

Without the offensive word I’d have agreed with what you posted, disparaging words are often a tactic used to end debate though so that’s how I interpreted it. Without it it’s a

It’s a bit rich taking offence when there are posters here claiming that they need to shield their children from knowing that people like me even exist!
The thing is that the posters in question don't seem to be brave enough to actually come out and say that, it's just heavily implied. Which is how, I suppose, one manages to keep one's account.
I am desperately trying to reach humans for conversation here, using Disney movies as a framework, and just keep running into what feels like talking point machines.

Well I'm glad you now agree with me.
I don't even understand your comment. I just gave my opinion on the matter. I don't care what anyone else was doing.
And?

You put it more elegantly than is in my vocabulary. PS - You’re at WDW now? If so, jealous but have fun.
Feminist is not always woke.
And I haven't seen Lightyear, nor have I commented on it.

‘Barbie’ Largely Praised For Feminist Themes—But Draws Anger From The Anti-Woke
Some conservative critics claim the feminist film is “woke” for its anti-patriarchal themes.

To their credit (a strange thing to say under the circumstances, I know), a few posters have come out and openly stated that they don’t think any sort of gay reference is appropriate in shows and movies made for children.
