I don't approve of cutting an episode because of this but at the same time this also feels like the pendulum simply swinging back. When episodes from old TV shows like Community were removed for supposed racism these same people were completely fine with it.
Honestly, I’m surprised it got made in the first place even if it was conceived before the trans fall of grace in mainstream. Transkids stuff was always a tickling bomb regardless of who won the election, just happens that the most openly transphobic candidate won.

Quote:Rachel Zegler took to Instagram to apologize for her heated reaction last week to the re-election of Donald Trump.
Disney's upcoming Snow White star received blowback following her original post, where she declared, "May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace," and "there is a deep deep sickness in this country," and, "another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world I do not want to live in."
On Thursday night, the 23-year-old actress posted a new message: "Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on Instagram last week. I let me emotions get the best of me. Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse. This week has been emotion for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively towards a better tomorrow."
Quote:Zegler's original comment blew up on X, where MAGA supporters slammed the West Side Story star and vowed to not watch her live-action $200 million Snow White remake, which Disney is releasing in theaters March 25.
Megyn Kelly, setting a fine example on civil discourse, called Zegler a "pig" for her comments, and scolded Disney: "You're gonna have to redo your film again, because this woman is a pig, and you fired Gina Carano for far less than this nonsense."
As a reminder: Gina Carano was "fired" after posting that disliking someone because they voted for Trump is comparable to how Jews were treated during the Holocaust.
That is apparently 'far less" than what Zegler posted.
Obviously the fact that they always shift is the only thing consistent about the standards over on Era, but I do like this this "Disney forced her!" narrative.
Forced her...how? With pecuniary threats? Is mammon more important than intersectionality? So if I vote for Trump because of, say...the price of eggs, I'm in the clear?
These fuckers don't seem to understand that the contracts these idiot actors sign almost certainly have clauses that dictate public behaviour standards and protecting the Disney brand.

What ya'll need to do is disable YOUTUBE embeds. I dunno if they're chuds or alt-right or anarcho-communist but this "Video Unavailable", "Please log in", "Watch on Youtube" shit is causing me untold Harm.
But ya'll ain't ready for that conversation.
Y'all ain't ready for the conversation about "the uploader hasn't made this video available in your region".

I'll point and laugh but it sure as shit wasnt "worth it".
This isn’t pro or anti trans stuff. It’s kind of crazy how quickly you have pronouns gone from bios and Disney binning this cartoon after years of pushing all this. Like everybody collectively went, well shit, this was a mistake! They’re gonna pretend the past couple years didn’t happen. It’s a little cruel (that’s the point etc).

AOC removing her pronouns from twitter is wild. I assumed it had to be some error or she'd backtrack as soon as the wrong people celebrated it but seems like she sticks with it
I share Rachel Zegler’s sentiment. Get why she had to apologize but yeah. Wonder if Era ever pulls the trigger on banning Disney talk. No Star Wars or MCU discussion…

Confirms what everyone believed to be true. All performative bullshit.

Call ICE on her now and speed up the process, see if her attitude changes
1 month for suggesting somebody calls the Immigration Cops while joking about the FBI seeing Nepenthe's posts means banning PoliEra.
