Confessions of a Disney writer – American Thinker
Parents are now furious about Disney’s woke agenda to sexualize children, and they’re organizing and protesting. Will their consumer boycotts of Disney’s products and theme parks have a long-term impact on Disney’s bottom line? It’s too soon to tell, but Disney’s hostility to traditional family values is not winning it friends, and its brand magic seems to be evaporating.
As for me, I’m glad to be an ex Disney writer now. My disillusionment with the entertainment industry began with the 2003 Academy Awards, when Meryl Streep led a standing ovation for Roman Polanski, who pleaded guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl. What was wrong with these people? Were they all sick? As I learned about Disney’s problems with hiring sex offenders and the predatory nature of so many in the business (watch the documentary An Open Secret to learn more), I grew increasingly uneasy about participating in a field permeated by pedophiles.
Kids now live in a world of immersive media, spending up to nine hours a day watching or using screens. Their connection to physical reality is diminishing as their saturation in programmed imagery increases. This unhealthy situation leaves their malleable minds frighteningly ripe for exploitation. Adults must wage war to protect their innocence. Taking down Disney would be a major victory in the battle to restore the sanctity of childhood.
I’ve always hated Disney, at least since I was 12 or so. But tbf their Pocahontas was very attractive.
