Disney removes trans character from new Pixar series
https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-pop-culture/disney-removes-transgender-storyline-upcoming-pixar-streaming-series-rcna184664

Disney pulled a transgender storyline from “Win or Lose,” an eight-episode Pixar streaming series that debuts in February, the company said Tuesday.

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement, “we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”

The character will remain in the show, but references to the character’s gender identity have been removed, the company said. The alteration involves “just a few lines of dialogue” near the end of the season.

The Blue Sky crowd is outraged, but seems like Disney is sick of the controversy and doesn't think appeasing the gender politics crowd is a good financial move. If they're taking actions like this, I expect to see other major entertainment studios follow suit.

You don't need to give the audience a lecture on a character being trans, just add them and treat equally
god forbid a piece of media explores a subject

Every single children's movie should have a trans character and every single one of these characters should have a story arc explaining their transition? Yeah no

Add the character and treat them equally without singling them out like it's a ritual

That is a wise move.

As Michael Jordan once said: Republicans buy shoes, too. It is wise to make sure you make ALL of your customers happy ... not just a minute amount of them and expect the rest to sheeple along.

You don't earn my money or respect by ignoring me for the minority.
what happens when a bunch of customers want the very existence of an entire group of people to be hidden from the public eye
Then make some pro trans movies.

No reason to throw them in EVERY show, EVERY commercial, EVERY movie, EVERY game.

Its malicious propaganda.

The only reasonable assumption of what you wanted judging from the fact an absence of a scene explaining the characters decision unless you care to enlighten me

it's not so much about the absence, as much as it is about the deliberate decision to remove it

yes it is or variations on a theme. Instead of good writing they wanna put their personal issues into everything, damn the lore they are writing for, getting paid for.

Their decision results in the trans character being treated equally so it's good

So in circles..yes yes?? They have always been treated fairly bud, no one cared till you wanna say your here for our kids or go into girls sports ats. and after that still no one really bothers you because no one cares on an individual basis unless yall make a big deal out of it, like if someone call you a dude... cause you look like a dude. then that gets posted and the person crys for attention.
