Ah but natural color dye is still a requirement! :-) your turkey leg is safe from the woke scalpel
I imagine there are plenty of people sympathetic to this view at the sentinel.
This guy's argument is a load of horseshit, but lmao at thinking Disney isn't a conservative company.
Some of these idiots don't seem to realize that Disneyland is literally almost sixty years old and some of the oldest attractions, like The Jungle Cruise, have not aged particularly well culturally. It's frankly way overdue that some of these attractions get a facelift.
Nah, fuck off with this shit. Let people like what they like.

This. The Walt Disney Company as a woke leftist corporation. Wait, let me laugh even harder. Disney is one of the most socially conservative large companies in the United States.
dont think you could pick a more unappealing thumbnail for your op-ed. this isnt a comment on the op-ed's contents which ill get to in a second but like, dead eyed, sweaty adult off-center to like a rack of disney statues which aren't even framed in a way thats remotely appealing, like jesus christ, the photographer did this dude more dirty than anything he wrote down in crayon here.
of course, i think the editor here did fucking bare minimum here, the writing feels so stilted and so clearly political that the irony barely registers. it's this belief that the disney company used to be republican and now its not and he wants a return to that. there's zero nuance to it, and it's poorly written and edited as well.

Garbage. If you're a Disney fan, maybe you should go take a listen again to "Eye to Eye", I think you missed some stuff.
Also, lol at thinking that Disney isn't hyper conservative and republican. This is a business decision, not a political one.
Also, also, I will freely admit to LOVING Splash Mountain, but I am nothing but excited for the upgrade to that ride. Can you imagine how awesome the underground section will look with stylish voodoo magics swirling around in updated effects?! I cannot wait to see it!

This self-own got me.
"Disney can do what it wants."
"Ok, we're changing Splash Mountain because it's racist."
"No, you can't do that."

I think we can all agree that the birthday cake version of Cinderella's Castle was a misstep and should never be repeated.
Anyway, now I want to see tatted and pierced versions of the Disney Princesses.
On a more serious note my wife has some tattoos that are not covered by clothes unless he is wearing pants and long-sleeved shirts and the people who always compliment her on them are Cast Members. We even have had a few female CMs say they wish they could have tattoos on their lower arms like she does. I hope they get the tattoos they have wanted now that they are allowed to.
THE IMMERSION. THE FANTASY.
Jesus Christ. I know adults can enjoy this stuff but this level of apparent obsession is just weird.

I know during the fall/winter months at Disneyland, the wool coats that cast members wear in Fantasyland are different colors for men and women. It's subtle but it definitely differentiates then.
Because despite what people will tell you most news media loves to give time to far right dog whistles.

I'm still waiting for the explanation of why minor tweaks or retheming of rides make him feel excluded.
The fact that Disney is no longer a Republican-friendly company says more about the descent into madness of the Republican Party than about Disney tbh.
Maybe other Disney fans and employees are having their experience ruined when the walking incarnation of plain toast gets huffy because suddenly there's a little color in his life.
I'm sure there are a few town fairs where you can still experience white Christian zombie realness.

Probably the kind of adult who writes a tone-deaf op-ed that chastises Disney for showing the bare minimum of consideration to people who don't fit the WASP mold.
