thinking about the whole strange world situation and all the people who are saying to go see it legally as a way to... get back at disney? hurt them?? you guys realize that as long as they’re making money they don’t care, right? like yeah maybe they’ll see that putting a little more effort in lgbt rep can be profitable too but. that’s exactly it they won’t start seeing gay people as people but just as another demographic that they can market themselves to (which they already do, kind of, currently it’s just a constant experimentation of how much they can give them without pushing away conservatives). they don’t have morals in any direction the main goal is always profit and all you’ll be doing by going to see it at the cinema or on disney+ or whatever is give them exactly what they want. i’m not saying you should boycott it either just. media consumption isn’t activism. if you really think you can do some good by watching movies or whatever go support small creators but the idea that you could harm one of the biggest media conglomerates in the world by turning a product they didn’t advertise into a profit is ridiculous

#like they didn't do any marketing for strange world just bc they hated gay people and wanted it to flop (at least if that was the main #reason they just wouldn't have done it??) they thought it wouldn't work anyway and that doing a lot of advertising would be a waste of money #making that movie profitable won't be some sort of 'gotcha' for them #yeah maybe we'll get a few more explicitly gay characters in yet another sanitized and carefully calculated children's movie #and if that makes you happy that's cool! won't stop them from financing anti-lgbt laws or treating marginalized employees like shit #as long as that's also the more profitable way to do stuff tho #(which it will always be in this system.btw)#anyway i'm mostly rambling but. very strange to see ppl unironically say 'go throw money at disney to support the Gay'#only a few months after we learned that they funded most politicians who pushed the don't say gay bill #.parakeet
