Creator of Woke ‘Star Wars’ Show ‘The Acolyte’ Blames ‘Fascists and Racists’ for Cancelation – no, it’s because we are tired of a great story being ruined by liberal white women who can’t admit that men are the hero’s. We just want a normal story based on good vs evil, not woke smothered by gay and leading characters who couldn’t save anything, let alone a badly written show.
I’ve got news for you, unless you get rid of the woke crap, tell us stories with believable hero’s, you’ll stay the democratic part of the entertainment industry. You’ll never see us again. We’re the people cheering Gina Carino and Ron DeSantis.
A recent report from Variety claims that the top echelons of Disney are scrambling to figure out how to entice the male demographic back into theaters, specifically Gen Z men. Apparently, a media company alienating 50% of their audience base is, in fact, a bad business decision. The mind boggles…
Keep in mind, this is the same company that coined the phrase “The Force Is Female” and “Her-O” (instead of “Hero”…very clever). This is the same company that tried to embed gay and trans characters into movies for toddlers. This is the same company that actually went to war with the state of Florida to force them to accept LGBT and gender fluid indoctrination in public schools in opposition to the vast majority of the voting population.
Finally, this is the same company that tried to bait and switch legendary male heroes for feminist “Girl Boss” heroes in every significant action/fantasy/sci-fi franchise they own the rights to.
They turned Star Wars and Marvel, two of the biggest box office properties of all time, into the menstruation huts of the cinema world. They went from making billions per project, to bombing harder than Nagasaki in theaters and in streaming.
The crux of the problem is that media companies have systematically eliminated any factors that might remotely interest men. This was not an accident, they did this by design. This includes going to war against the “male gaze” and the archetype of the male protector (knight in shining armor). Female protagonists alone are not a deal breaker, but remove all femininity, all sex appeal and browbeat the audience with anti-male messaging about how women “don’t need no man” and there goes your biggest potential cash pool.
Disney has been at the forefront of the woke deconstructionist agenda to rewrite or destroy every masculine western pop culture figure of the past 50 years. They treated these icons as sacrificial lambs; joyfully slaughtered to appease the demonic gods of feminism. And now, they want the men they openly despise to come running back with wallets in hand?
That’s a new level of crazy. But hey, that’s Disney.
I went right to fag also. Being liberal makes sense. A lot of them aren’t in the manly category in anything. The girlfriend angle is a good one though.
A new YouGov poll confirms that normal Americans aren’t too offended by American Eagle’s new ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
And that’s certainly not a shocker. Of course, the backlash to the ad came mostly from left-wing scolds obsessed with race and jealous of Sweeney.
According to the poll, only 12% of Americans found it “offensive.” That number sounds about right. Most well-adjusted people who don’t spend their days refreshing the MSNBC opinion section every minute or combing through LGBT Reddit threads are going to find the ad perfectly normal. Maybe not clever, and maybe not offensive, but just a typical advertisement that relies on the most tried-and-true strategy ever: sex sells.
New strain of mpox reported in Bay Area, believed to be 1st confirmed case in US
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – The first case of a new strain of mpox in the United States has been reported in San Mateo County, officials said Saturday.
California’s Department of Public Health reported the case to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who say it is the first reported case of mpox in the country after the patient recently traveled outside the U.S.
According to the CDPH, the patient recently returned traveling from Africa, and their diagnosis is related to the ongoing outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a rare disease caused by infection with a virus that’s in the same family as the one that causes smallpox.
Milder symptoms can include fever, chills and body aches. In more serious cases, people can develop lesions on the face, hands, chest and genitals.
She ruined multiple franchises and changed the story. While she completely misunderstood that the audience was a bunch of geeks who enjoyed the fantasy that the series gave us. It was not just the feminism and gay crap, but rather the reality that men win the wars and saved the universe.
If the woke Olympics gave us nothing, it showed the reality that girls can’t beat men in battle.
So retire and quit ruining our lives with the crap movies that you touch (every one of them). Your equation for movies will never give you a win.
She goes down in history with the Bud Light girl who ruined that franchise.
Woke ruins everything it touches and it’s too bad that Star Wars was a victim
Lucasfilm chiefstress Kathleen “Franchise Killer” Kennedy is ready to retire but wants to go out on a win rather than slink away after destroying forever two franchises that were once seen as bulletproof: Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
At this point, one can only wonder what blackmail she might hold over Disney Grooming Syndicate chief Bob Iger. Her Lucasfilm reign has been catastrophic, to say the least. Under her woke and hammy hands, Star Wars has alienated a fan base that was once so fervent they forgave the Lucas prequels.
According to the Chief Medical Examiner, the slow death of Star Wars was caused by a dreadful trilogy of sequels and a half-dozen wretched Disney+ streaming series—the latest being The Acolyte, which was laughed (lesbian witches birthed the Jedi or something) off the planet. All of this garbage was poisoned by spell-breaking identity politics, left-wing lectures, and an obvious hatred and contempt for the fan base that made Star Wars a cultural phenomenon.
Star Wars is so broken, what was supposed to be an ongoing film franchise that would deliver two movies a year has now gone five years without a new release. The only news around Star Wars movies today is all the projects that get canceled.
Kennedy did the same with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Instead of delivering for the fans, she produced a box office catastrophe by teaming Indy up with a sexless girlboss.
Oh, and let’s not forget Willow, which she turned into a streaming gay-fest so hated by the fans Disney removed it from its streaming service.
Were Kennedy to exit Lucasfilm today, it would be covered in the disgrace she deserves. But thanks to affirmative action she remains in a job a white guy would’ve lost five years ago, and based on this report she intends to stay until she can walk out, head held high.
The setting is roughly 100 years before the events of “The Phantom Menace.” The Jedi Council is alive and well, training young Padawans and learning hard truths about some alum.
Namely, Osha (Amandla Stenberg), who in the show’s opening moments does a very bad thing. That’s all we can say thanks to the Emperor … we mean Disney’s legal team!
Star Wars continues down an unfortunate path of ruin and bad storytelling. The latest entry in this journey to the Dark Side is a new show called “The Acolyte.” The creators say it is the “gayest” yet. Matt Walsh has thoughts.
After recounting a series of rough financial numbers, Walsh says:
Disney, over the past eight months, has apparently decided to double down on agenda-driven content, to the point that they’re openly attacking their own fans. It’s a remarkable turn of events.
Faced with this brand collapse, Disney had two options. One option was to retool their content to focus on entertainment and family values instead of activism, which is what Disney used to do, when it was a universally beloved and much more financially successful company. They could get back to their roots. Not in the sense of churning out more remakes, but in the sense of being a company that makes wholesome family films that capture a sense of wonder and imagination.
The other option was to keep doing exactly what they’ve been doing, and continue to shove the same agenda — the equity/representation/LGBTQ approach — that they’ve been pushing for years now.
Eight months ago, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, publicly pledged to pursue the first option. He declared that Disney would refocus its efforts on entertainment, not political messaging. That was the plan, or at least the plan that was shared with the public. But that’s not what happened.
“The Acolyte” dispenses with any talk of Skywalkers, past or present. The focus is on the Jedi way of life, which it turns out is rather dull. So is the writing in the first three episodes. Showrunner Leslye Headland (co-creator, “Russian Doll”) has a sprawling canvas on which to create, but so far it’s a paint-by-numbers affair.
Disney+’s “Andor” delved into the geopolitical workings behind the saga. Everything in “The Acolyte,” at least from the jump, is surface-level deep.
Sometimes, it’s not even that.
“The Acolyte” moves at an agreeable pace, but there’s precious little “why” behind the narrative so far. Yay, diversity! Woo-hoo! Female characters aplenty! Bechdel Test … nailed! That feminist streak gets a workout. It’s also where Comic-Con nation may shriek the loudest.
Disney should be accustomed to that by now, but it least the sequences feel fresh to the franchise.
For a while.
That episode loses control mid-story. The ensuing plot pivots make little sense beyond getting to where the storytellers need us to go. To label it clunky is being kind.
“The Acolyte” could find its legs, eventually. The bigger threat looming over the story might be worth the wait, and the writing could mature with more time.
How many people will stick around to see is another question.
here and more, but didn’t anyone tell Disney about Bud Light and Target?
All the combined efforts of feminism and diversity and equity and wokeness have brought us to this point. But it’s bureaucracy and inertia that’s keeping it alive, long after everyone’s tired of it. That inertia is the reason why — whether you’re going to a restaurant or a movie theater — you’re now guaranteed a product that’s as mediocre as the people who created it.
I grew up in Orlando, before Disney and while they built it. My friends in high school all worked there. It used to be for the family and wholesome fun. It’s now for woke, racists, feminists, trannies, homosexuals, pagans….so pretty much everything except straight white people.
Putting ideology ahead of entertainment has decimated an American institution. Walt Disney has been spinning in his grave ever since Bob Iger first became CEO back in 2005 during his first term. It continued during the short reign of Bob Chapek from 2020 to 2021, then accelerated at warp speed after Iger returned to the CEO role in 2022, post-COVID. The Walt Disney Company is broken, and until it gets new leadership at the top and refocuses on its core mission, to entertain, it is headed in only one direction: down. And that’s a shame for baby boomers like me who grew up with Walt Disney when our parents could trust the company to deliver wholesome entertainment not tainted by an agenda or ideology.
There is something of a subculture on YouTube of armchair analysts and commentators, WDW Pro,Valliant Renegade, and ClownfishTV, to name just three (beyond traditional financial websites like CNBC and Seeking Alpha), who track every cultural, corporate, programming, and financial move of The Walt Disney Company, previously one of America’s most iconic and trusted companies. Note: I used the past tense in describing The Walt Disney Company. It is no longer one of America’s most trusted brands, and it’s about to lose its iconic status.
That it’s their asses right after killing the Jews. Go check the part about Iranians throwing gays off the top of tall buildings and you might not want to be in this parade.
I don’t think they will go broke really, but the stock value is down 33% after incorrectly interpreting a Florida bill and picking sides against the family. They have branded themselves the enemy of good, and what 98% of families are made up of, the 2 genders that they were born as.
Half the Disney people will love them for doing this because that is how the country is. They are losing the good people though.
Walt would turn in his grave with how his company is being run.
I grew up in Orlando, before there was a Disney. There was Disneyland in California and Disney on TV, but the Tragic Magic Kingdom hadn’t struck the world with the force that would be Disney World.
I also remember Walt Disney talking on TV, espousing entertainment and fun. It was about family, fun and fantasy. We could all sit around the living room and not worry about any untoward messaging or images.
Orlando and Disney are very much different. Both have exploded in size and money. It paved the way for the purchase of both Marvel and Lucas Films. Behind all of it though it was changing. I stopped going or supporting anything they do, which is hard for a Marvel and Star Wars fan. Fortunately, the last few Marvel films and the last 3 Star Wars releases were all terrible.
I recall when they had the first Gay Pride Day or whatever they called it. The problem was that they didn’t tell the families and the church groups that a bunch of dudes would be dressed in girls clothes (or less) and would be doing disgusting things in front of little kids.
The dust ups inside the park were swept under the rug so that it got no media attention.
The hiring of Eisner and Kennedy have spread wokeness, diversity and perversion into the movies and parks ever since.
Disney has chosen a “hill to die on”: They want to overturn the new Florida law that stops the indoctrination of little children, from pre-kindergarten through third grade, with woke, sexual, gender-identity brainwashing and transgender equality education. Keep in mind that we’re only talking about 5- to 8-year-olds. What parent could possibly disagree? What parent visiting Disney could possibly disagree?
But Disney doesn’t care. They are intent on alienating the tens of millions of parents who believe that 5- to 8-year-olds shouldn’t be sexualized at school and that those same 5- to 8-year-olds shouldn’t be taught to change their sexual identity like they’re changing a pair of sneakers. Can you imagine? Disney has chosen this hill to die on.
The president of Disney recently bragged that she will make sure half of all characters in Disney movies, television shows and videos are either gay, lesbian, trans or other minorities. I have no problem with that. America is a free country. But I hope she and her Disney bosses have no problem if conservatives, Christians and patriots decide to never again visit any Disney theme park or spend a dime on any Disney product.
“Wokeness,” said Greg Gutfeld on Fox, “takes stuff that you love and can turn it to poison.” A recent example of this poisoning has been supplied by the Walt Disney Company, which used to be the purveyor of Mickey Mouse and other things American. Disney’s current management has been seduced by the powerful LGBTQ lobby. The company has announced that, from now on, 50 percent of its characters will be LGBTQ or minorities.
In a shameless case of overreach, Disney attacked a new parental rights law just passed in Florida that bans instruction concerning sex from kindergarten through the third grade. A strong majority of Floridians support the law. Disney doesn‘t give a damn. Following the lead of the left-wing media, Disney has attempted to mischaracterize the law as anti-gay.
The important thing to realize is that a majority of Disney employees are not in lockstep with their management. Jose Castillo, a current Disney employee who is running for Congress in Florida as a Republican, said that the “silent majority” of Disney employees supports the parental rights law despite the loud minority leading Disney to oppose it. “Disney and similar corporations listen to the loudest voices in the crowd,” said Castillo. “The Disney cast members who support the parental rights far outnumber those who are protesting against it.” English broadcaster Piers Morgan summed it up: “You’ve got this small group of very woke people that bully companies into following their very narrow worldview.”
What about the majority of Americans — do they accept wokeness? The answer is no. Wokeness is an example of what I call the tyranny of the minority. “The actual number of the woke remains small,” says Scott McConnell, “perhaps six percent of the population, according to Pew surveys of American political attitudes. It is educated, it is mostly white, it is heavily concentrated in the media and universities. But it isn’t powerful enough to control the country if majorities are mobilized to resist it.”
Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Núñez, R., argued that Disney, the “most magical place on earth,” has now digressed into the “most hypocritical and woke” place. The Florida lieutenant governor made these comments after Disney faced backlash over its stance on the parental rights bill signed into law this week by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R.
LT. GOV. JEANETTE NUNEZ: We stand here in Florida…on behalf of the rights of parents, and it’s a sad state of affairs when the most magical place on Earth has now digressed into the most hypocritical and woke place on Earth… Governor DeSantis and I, we don’t take our marching orders from California corporate executives that want to push a radical agenda on our children.
They’ve tarnished their brand with their most recent political activism targeting Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act — a bill most Americans support.”
Yet she still wishes for the best. “My hope,” she said, “is that the company comes to its senses, remembers who their customers are and gets back to doing what they do best: Entertain ‘dreamers of all ages.’”
Get woke go broke usually. I don’t think Disney will go broke, but a lot of parents have to ask themselves, do I want to take my kids to a place where they are against traditional family values.
They are ruining the movies. They are woke there also. Anytime you can get rid of a white male, it’s Disney’s new rules.
SCOOP: Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, “as the mother [of] one transgender child and one pansexual child,” she supports having “many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories” and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities. pic.twitter.com/oFRUiuu9JG

I love watching Star Wars and Marvel shows on Disney+ but I fear that soon I won’t be able to watch any of it. I know that Marvel has already started doing that with one of their new movies, The Eternals, and I stopped watching that one as soon as I saw two dudes kissing. It was easy though because the movie, up to that point, was pretty boring.
