Disney is not backing down due to DeathSantis' threats

I have seen a couple of cartoons with young gay characters on the Disney channel (the Owl House) and one of Disney's new sequel cartoons is dealing with some hard issues that will really piss of DeathSantis

These cartoons make me smile

Where nobody can see, and nobody can know. So, frustrate them! Make their operations more difficult to do with stealth. And make some NOISE!!!

And shine a light!

The last thing they want is everybody noticing.

But republicans encourage white children to love themselves if they hate those not like themselves. Sadly, for conservatives the numbers for them to groom are slowly, but surely dwindling.

As for “hating their country” I urge my fellow Americans to observe who is urging hate.

As for me, I really enjoy an ice cold Bud and Bad Company cranked up real loud. The real reason old guys want classic rock cranked up REAL LOUD is because we are borderline deaf. For comedy, Mike Pence chatting about its time to talk about doing something about social security. He’s so fucking funny. And then there’s dark Brandon trick fucking republicans about balloons.

Hey. As Yogi Berra wisely advises, when ya come to a fork in the road, take it.

Okay time to start another week of pin the truth on the elephant.

Obviously, that means that they aren't "backing down"

Sure - their CEO was booted mere months after inking a new three-year contract and they've been conspicuously silent on state efforts to punish them... but they're NOT backing down! This cartoon that they announced 2-3 years ago is proof!

The same thing applies here. If you don't like the content, don't watch it. If you don't want your kids to watch it, don't let them watch it.

I just saw the outrage today and I also just saw the show today. I loved it. I watched the original show as a kid. I'm here for the reboot.
