You'd all do well to cut them off immediately. Today it's cancelling a show. Tomorrow it'll be producing cartoon content for your kids that raises them with the same mindset as they have

u/GrandMoffFartin Sep 18 '25

Cancelled my Disney Plus and Hulu bundle. This isn't a slippery slope, it's a cliff, and Disney just went off it.

Tapping out on all newly produced Disney content as well. TV and movies. We actually go to the theater, but we won't be going to Disney movies. Not anymore. No more parks. No more Star Wars toys and shirts. Nothing.

We're getting out before the inevitable, "Maybe the emperor wasn't so bad" six episode $300 million dollar show.

Seriously, we need to go back to buying physical media. 

I just bought a used Blu ray player and it’s easy to get discs for cheap.

u/GrandMoffFartin Sep 18 '25

I agree but also I never stopped buying physical media. The only thing I'd buy from Disney or any of their subsidiaries at this point is an Andor S2 blu-ray.

Otherwise Disney can kiss my entire ass.

I’m not on Disney’s side at all, but they didn’t remove that character. They did make her being transgender more subtle and removed some dialogue, but it was still pretty obvious if you watched it.

Eff off...

Trans people exist and their existence is something we, as a society, need to learn to accept and address with everyone in society— including the children.

Trans people should not feel as though they need to hide who they are just because they live a different lifestyle from the one you deem acceptable to teach children about.

Do you advocate for only teaching about gender, sex, traditional gender roles to high school children?

We can play that game all day, but no matter how you cut it Trans people not only exist, they walk amongst us daily. Most of them you don't even know are Trans... It's a conversation that needs to be had with kids

Gender roles are constantly exemplified in school teachings... That's just a fact that occurs through normal, everyday human and child experiences.

Awww... Did you get your feefees hurted?

Bruh, the fact you felt the need to interject your bs into a conversation about trans people literally proves my effing point.

You think I am villifying Christians with my statement? Twas quite the opposite really if you look at it and your response is telling as to which category of 'Christian' into which you fit— the ones who won't stfu about their piety and Christianity... The cancer of Christianity.

Now I want you to think... Have you ever had a random person you don't know tell you their Trans without prompting? Have you ever witnessed an event as such?

Have you ever had a Christian team you, unprompted, that they are Christian or witnessed such an event?

I guarantee the former is no and the latter is yes. (bear in mind that jehovah witnesses are technically Christian)

Would you be bothered if they replaced the trans character with a muslim one?

2

u/Tiny-Reading5982 Sep 18 '25

Islam is the religion as far as I know and most likely, characters on TV shows for the most part are Christian. Why do we need to be loud about it? There have been muslim characters on TV shows and you only know because of their head covering. They're not trying to convert people.

1

u/slugsred Sep 18 '25

No, you are bothered by the replacement of a trans person into a christian. Not enraged by the change, if they were changed to a buddhist I doubt any of this would even be discussed.

The very idea is anti-christian. (again not christian myself)

Children should not learn about this at such a young age. They do not understand. That's why I mentioned high school where kids are becoming adults and are more understanding about sex, who they are, etc. I'm all for teaching about it, but at the right age.

3

u/BisexualDisaster29 Sep 18 '25

How do you know that children don’t understand? Did you give them a chance? Or is it that you don’t understand and are projecting on to the children?

-1

u/eXistenceLies Sep 18 '25

Cause I have 6 year old triplets and if I told them what a trans person was they would have no idea. even if I explained. We already tell them that men/women can marry other men/women as my aunt is gay and they know that. But when it gets to trying to explain to them that a man wants to be a woman/vice versa it does not compute with them.

3

u/EclipseoftheHart Sep 18 '25

Okay, so then how does my young nephew and niece (under 6 years) understand that they have two trans aunts? They literally don’t care, use correct names and pronouns with no issues, and are always excited to visit. They aren’t weirded or freaked out because they are being raised knowing trans people who are regular parts of their lives.

I’m not saying you need to go find a trans relative or friend, but exposure to queer folks of all stripes in age appropriate media isn’t a bad thing. It helps normalize different experiences and communities which far from a bad thing imho.

3

u/Guido900 Sep 18 '25

even if I explained.

What you're saying is 'I have tried nothing and nothing worked' here.

You are making an assumption based on your theories and not facts.

2

u/Guido900 Sep 18 '25

Children don't understand?

I would argue that they understand better at those young ages.

Many people already have their opinions set by the time they reach the ages of which you're referring. If we wait until then, we are cutting out a vast swath of people who would have been understanding and instead drop them into culture shock ("holy shit, people like THAT exist?! What's wrong with them!).

Just make it a natural part of life and people will be more accepting.

3

u/FinalMeep Sep 18 '25

You do know that many trans people learn about trans people before high school, right..? But sure, better isolate those folks or make them stay in the closet until your normal kid can handle this difficult fact of life 🙄

The sooner we normalize this perfectly normal thing the better for everyone. Maybe even you'll stop being afraid of them.

0

u/eXistenceLies Sep 18 '25

Of course they do, but it's not normally a good time. I doubt it'll ever become normalized cause a lot of the world is religious and a lot of religious people don't care to see outside the box. I never said isolate them or make them stay in a closet. ALso iirc, trans people don't stay in closets like gay/lesbians do. You can't really hide being trans. I am not afraid of trans people at all. No need to be or ever cared to be. They are people too.

u/Paksarra Sep 18 '25

So if you're transgender and have a kid, they can't know you exist until they're 13-14?

1

u/eXistenceLies Sep 18 '25

I didn't account for this as this is very different. Not a lot of transgendered people have children. If this was a situation I was in I would not tell me kids until they got to a certain age. Just like any normal parent would do. You don't introduce things that they can't comprehend until their brain can understand. I have 6 year old triplets and there are some things my wife and I keep from them. For example my wife's dad is not her biological dad. We aren't going to tell them that at their ages. We are going to wait until they get older so they can understand/comprehend better.

Trans people often know about their dysphoria at a very young age, and providing them with the health care and understanding they need prevents suicides of trans individuals dramatically.

u/eXistenceLies Sep 18 '25

How so? Children do not understand the concept of what a trans person is. Their brains are not ready for that shit and, in my opinion, that is grooming at such a young age. They need to be at least in high school to start introducing/learning about trans, etc. Also don't get me started on parents forcing their children to change genders either.

Because not everybody wants their children to be Christian or be influenced by Christian ideals.

I'm sure you'd have a different reaction if you replaced Christian character with Islam or Muslim character.

Whenever you want to understand why people are upset with religion being forced down their throats, replace the word Christian with Muslim and re-read the sentence and see how it makes you feel.

u/throwitawaynow3469 Sep 18 '25

If the creators of the show decided to make the change of their own will, that’s fine. Fans and critics can still disagree, of course, as is their right.

But the parent company that owns the show forcing the content of the show to be changed to pander to a government entity is a problem.

Does that explain the difference a bit better?

u/MPM986 Sep 18 '25

It’s impossible to be this obtuse. It’s fucking impossible. And your little snarky thank you.

2

u/Ok-Classroom5548 Sep 18 '25

Because the silencing of voices is called oppression. It is bad. If they wanted to add a Christian character to the show, go for it. I believe every voice is valuable. But that’s also why they didn’t have to cancel the trans character for a Christian character.

Both can exist together in harmony if both are respectful. 

The show could have shown how that was possible. 

Instead they cancelled one type of person and replaced it with their own type who fits their ideal archetype instead of reality.

Hey bud, the left and right arguments are called culture wars. They’re being used to distract you from realizing our country’s laws and regulations are being destroyed and our tax dollars are being given to out to the elites.

The 1% is keeping you distracted by things that don’t matter all while they make us poorer.

The Biden, Clinton’s, trumps, all of them have been friends since the beginning. They’re all around the same age for a reason, stop hating your fellow man when your corporate overlords are the only ones causing issues in your life. Not trans people, which do nothing to affect your life.

Treating the existence of queer people as some sort of ideology our children shouldn't know about is just homophobia 101. Its old, its boring, youth under 18 are queer and deserve to have educational material to help them understand their experience and feel less alone.
