Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | DEIsney Executive: The People Who Say Our Movie and TV Shows are "Bad" Just Don't Want to Admit They're Afraid of Seeing Powerful WomenFor years and years, YouTube critics of woke entertainment have suspected that -- and provided some evidence suggesting that -- Disney executives themselves were behind the thousand hit-pieces written by the shill entertainment media trashing fans as "racist," "sexist," and "homophobic," and claiming that every single piece of woke DEIney entertainment is brilliant, and only a "tiny minority" of toxic white supremacists disagreed. A new quote from an anonymous DEIsney executive, provided to entertainment reporter Matt Belloni, shows that, at the very least, DEIsney executives agree with the media shills branding any critics of DEIsney as Nazis. All of this started last Thursday when Belloni wrote up a survey noting that DEIsney had fallen from one of the country's most broadly esteemed companies, to one of its most mistrusted and despised.Bob Iger Has a Brand Problem, But Does It Matter? An exclusive survey reveals that Americans (and especially Republicans) are twice as likely to think of Disney unfavorably as other media companies, even if that doesn't necessarily mean they won't see Pixar, Star Wars, or other Mouse House movies in theaters.The rest is paywalled, but the survey found DEIsney's popularity to be among the lowest of all major corporations:
![]() ![]() The executive informed Belloni, "Everyone says 'It's the movies, stupid,' which is an easy thing for people to say. More appealing movies are a great way to jump the political issues. But more and more, our audience (or the segment of the audience that has been politicized) equate the perceived messaging in a film as a quality issue." This executive continued, "They won't say they find female empowerment distasteful in The Marvels or Star Wars [the latest trilogy starring Daisy Ridley], but they will say they don't like those movies because they are 'bad.'" The executive concluded, "So 'make better movies' becomes code for 'make movies that conform to regressive gender stereotypes or put men front and center in the narrative.' Which is what you're seeing now, and what Bob [Iger]'s pivot is about right now."As a YouTuber pointed out, no one criticizing DEIsney is afraid to say "we hate woke girlbosses and are sick of seeing men pushed into subordinate roles as cringing servants to the girlboss." It's front-and-center of all critiques: Here's Critical Drinker today announcing that the era of the "girlboss" is over. He points out the problem isn't just that female characters are unbelievably competent and flawless, but that every male character is portrayed as incompetent and venal. No one is "afraid to say" this. It is said by nearly every critic. They also go on to say that not only are these movies toxic and alienating in their messaging, but they're also objectively bad in all other categories having nothing to do with woke messaging or spiteful feminist politics. But there you go: A DEIsney executive announcing our movies are great -- It's just the audience that's wrong. In a video encouraging Disney investors to vote for him and Nelson Peltz to become members of The Walt Disney Company's Board of Directors Rasulo said, "I think something of the most important things to focus on at The Walt Disney Company are: first, and foremost creative content. Something's broken in the creation of creative content." He continued, "I think from the very start back in the '30s when Walt [Disney] created the first feature animated film it started the Disney flywheel. In fact, Walt invented the Disney flywheel. That you could take something that pleased people in a movie theater, make it into consumer products, ultimately put it into Disneyland as rides and attractions." "Animation is so key to The Walt Disney Company, so key to the success and the running of the flywheel that to imagine that The Walt Disney Company has lost its iconic status in animation today is almost unbelievable and personally it really affects me because this is how we created success when I was at the company," he concluded.Is he low-key referencing Film Threat's exposé of the DEI rot at the heart of DEIsney's animation division, in which white men are deliberately given shit assignments to force them to quit to make room for a bunch of highly unqualified female and "diverse" Tumblr doodlers? Make up your own mind but: yes, he is. Finally, Bob Iger's last shareholder meeting statement, in which he buffaloed investors with a lot of bullshit, was effective. DEIsney's share price rose from something like $92 to $110. But it might not have just been Bob Iger's unbelievable bullshit that caused the rise -- there is a persuasive case that an army of bots has been assembled to constantly talk up how attractive DEIsney's stock is, and how, allegedly, it is exceeding analyst expectations.

======== EVERY It's the key word. The big budget ecosystem is so uniform in its approach to male and female characters that there's absolutely no room for interpretation. Girls good. Boys dumb and usually evil. And even when girls are the antagonists, they have good reason because of men. EVERYTHING made at a certain budget now is like this. If it were just one franchise or just the occasional film, that'd be one thing. But everything, in particular existing franchises that were never like this, has become this.

Even if the point he's trying to make here is correct - that the movies are good and it's merely discontent with the messaging - his argument is still completely insane.

++++ No, here's what I'll say. You can get it right from the horse's mouth. 1. "Female empowerment" is a stupid and distasteful concept. In the west in particular, any more "female empowerment" will reduce men to a slave class. This is a false premise and your company has implemented it both poorly and to exclusion. 2. A political message is a poor nucleus for a good story. Everything gets subordinated to the core premise, so if your premise is political then the subordinate parts will necessarily suffer as a result of being stuffed into that frame (unless you're making a political product, anyway). 3. "Female empowerment" - even if it were a good premise, which it isn't - is not achieved by immunizing your empowered female characters from obligations, responsibility, consequences or growth. You do not create "empowered" characters, you create entitled characters with no motivations to learn. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at February 21, 2024 04:54 PM (HnUIn) 58

No one would have a problem with strong female leads, if they weren't all cringy as hell, and who spent the whole movie spouting retarded feminist platitudes and bitching about men.
No one cared that women were badass in Terminator, Alien, and Porky's. But now you don't have women who are badass, you just have scolds who would rather lecture the villian to death than kill them.

Posted by: Seems Legit at February 21, 2024 04:57 PM (JeYYB) Never heard any of the dialogue from that show but the NPC language is strikingly obvious because these people literally don't know anything else. Kids were watching a cartoon (think it was The Ghost and Molly McGee) and the ghost (voiced by the same dude who played Master Shake) sang a song about Jewish kids feeling included at Christmas. And the girl literally thanked him after for "being inclusive." Wasn't necessary but the language program on their brains was tripped. Must include.

*sigh*
The fundamentals of storytelling are so basic that it's hard to understand why a company like Disney has so much trouble with them. First, have a good idea for a plot. Most plots are recycled, but you can always add a new twist. Then add characters that have a mix of good and bad with them. Those who tend towards "good" become the heroes or protagonists. Those who tend towards "evil" become the villains or antagonists. Establish a narrative arc for the most important characters that demonstrates growth or development throughout the plot. By the end of the story, the characters should have an important realization about themselves that leads to a satisfactory resolution. The End. It's not hard.

This season of true detective was horrible. Somehow Jodi foster forgot how to act.
It just seemed mediocre to me. Like Season 3. Most of the characters were unlikeable, including minor ones. They were't even unlikeable in interesting ways, or ways that moved the plot forward. And the plot was, well, unexceptional. Having given it three tries since its only really good season, they should probably hang it up.

Perhaps a few working in mess halls, perhaps a few loading bombs onto bomb trailers in the bomb dumps. That's it. Blacks stationed in England in '43 and for the rest of the war were mostly assigned to truck transportation units driving bombs, ammo, fuel, food, and everything else from ports, fuel distribution points, and railway stops to ground unit and air unit bases.

The Russian Nagant revolver is only widely available revolver that would work because it uses a unique cartridge that seals the chamber and the whole cylinder moves forward as well to eliminate the cylinder gap.

“Diversity” and “Inclusion” doesn’t bother anyone.
At some point, like a light switch was thrown - it became axiomatic that to increase “diversity” this was required to hate on Whitey, and especially Whitey males. No exceptions, it is constant and insidious. This is the whole of their being, for some people. “Inclusiion” MUST mean excluding white males. Obviously stirring up hatreds, bigotry and the rest of it is the real goal at work here. To get a large iconic Mom Dad Apple Pie & Chevrolet corporation to carry their water is just more of the same.

I don't care what anyone says, I love the Mitch Rapp character.
I've tried to find similar books but the main guy is always wasting my time weighing (after the fact) whether he should have killed the POS or not. I don't want philosophizing or amateur soul-searching. Find the bad guy and shoot him in the face. And I don't want any whining about it. As an aside, I was happy when they killed off Anna, Rapp's wife. She was a pain in the ass. I don't care how green her eyes were. I was sick of the "journalist needs to know everything" shit and when she died it was an improvement to the storyline. Does anyone know a good book series similar to Rapp without any woke bullshit (I can't tell you how many books I didn't finish when they introduced the gay character)? I've read all of Thor's.

68 You'd think that Disney - and its analogues throughout various industries - would have begun to figure out that blaming your customers for your failures and shitting on them for not being good enough for you is a pretty bad strategy.

My dog has informed me that we will not be watching any Disney products until Pluto gets a speaking role. I reminded him that Goofy can talk. Here is my dog's response to what I thought was a good argument:
"Goofy is a retard. He makes us look bad with his annoying voice and stupid antics. And don't get me started on that asinine hat. The jackass thinks he's in a Dr. Seuss story. Pluto, at least, doesn't rely on props." Posted by: Orson at February 21, 2024 05:30 PM (dIske) 236

More appealing movies are a great way to jump the political issues. But more and more, our audience (or the segment of the audience that has been politicized) equate the perceived messaging in a film as a quality issue. ================= Where to BEGIN? Like, we COULD try making more appealing movies, that people actually want to see, and that reflect a premium on quality, not messaging. That would take care of all the political blah-blah. But it's these darned viewers who *perceive* some sort of message who say it compromises quality. That's our problem! Posted by: Blonde Morticia's office at February 21, 2024 05:32 PM (T3es0) 246

Las Vegas resident and registered Republican Daphne Lee said she and her family checked the secretary of state’s website on Sunday to see their voter history after she heard from a few people that their voting history was incorrect. The site showed that she and her family’s mail-in ballots were counted for the primary, even though none of them participated in the election. She tried to opt out of future mail-in ballots and was met with a message saying she was not currently registered to vote, and her voting history no longer existed.

We are watching a tv series offered by Britbox. It's call Monsieur Spade. It's based on the Sam Spade character by Dashiell Hammett. The plot is Sam Spade moves to Paris and continues his Sam Spade activities. The show is about 60% English and 40% French and sometimes those get inverted. It's good for my French studies. The lead character is Clive Oliver. It's pretty good.

The problem started because popular culture was derogatory toward blacks, Jews, Mexicans, moslems and fags.
The answer is to make every single movie completely Anglo, Protestant and hetero. Heros, villains and in between. No chicks, either, except as set-dressings, way in the background. Hopefully with enough depth of field that you barely notice them (except for when sandwiches are really necessary for the plot). Then nobody can complain about shit.

"They're Afraid of..." what exactly am I afraid of? "Seeing..." it's just a movie, get over yourself. "Powerful Women" I don't mind powerful women, but these women are unrealistic. Not just unrealistic, but uninteresting. Look, when an employer (me) asks and employee (the movie character) what is the most interesting thing about them, what are their flaws and weaknesses, and how will they overcome them, I get the answer back that they are fuckling awesome, and their only flaw is not realizing they are fucking awesome. That is both unrealistic and uninteresting, and also a lie. GTFO. Posted by: Fani Banani at February 21, 2024 06:33 PM (mvURQ) 292
