Disney CEO Bob Chapek's response to Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill has been incoherent and is drawing rightful backlash, including from Walt Disney's own grandniece.
DuckTales, “I still can’t describe how much pain the Disney LGBTQ+ employee community is in today. We’re devastated.” The hashtag #BoycottDisney began trending.
Walt Disney’s grandniece, Abigail Disney, also delivered a blow, claiming Chapek was “more worried about right-wing backlash” than Disney’s staff and fans. “The times for neutrality are long since over,”. “What is Disney for? Is it for pretending what America is about, or is it for defining a vision for a world in which fantasy, love, kindness, decency, and loyalty are bedrock values? Nothing about the ‘don’t say gay’ bill or about Chapek’s memo is consistent with any of those values.
Putting the backlash aside, Chapek’s claims didn’t make much sense. He was saying that big corporate statements don’t have much impactIf Disney believed, as many others do, that it is a “brand,” then its “inspiring content” isn’t limited to its movies, theme park attractions, and shows on Disney+.
