Interestingly this statement is only presented completely without context. What role where they talking about? I'm sure Steven Miller wouldn't be satisfied until white men in blackface are playing every role in whatever it is they're talking about lol

Executives and writers were drectly mentioned

I was curious so I found the article:
https://insidethemagic.net/2024/06/disney-executive-caught-saying-company-wont-hire-white-men-rl1/

The quote is exactly what normal people assume it is, out of context and not the entire quote.

Twentieth Century Television Senior Vice President Michael Giordano was caught on a hidden video saying that Disney explicitly does not hire “white men” for specific roles.

For specific roles. That's pretty fcking obvious. You're not going to hire a white man to play the little mermaid.

Ironically if they did hire a white man to play The Little Mermaid, the hard right nutjobs would be screaming that it was part of a "woke trans agenda" to normalize crossdressing and eliminate the traditional American male from society lol

I mean, the little mermaid should be a danish woman. Like thats where the tale comes from. if they want a diverse movie, why not use a tale from somewhere that isnt europe?

Did you also know there's no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we're being faithful to the original.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago

Well, if you didnt want to make the little mermaid, why call it that and say its based on the tale?

[–] art@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Knowing r/conservative, Disney was probably talking about hiring someone to play Tina Turner in a biopic, or something like that.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, according to the articles, it includes writers and executives.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

There have been multiple links in the comments to the articles, hours before your comment. Which part exactly said it includes writers and executives?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is the part where you point out what you mean.

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just read it, its like half way down

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I love vague conversations. It really seals the entire argument, don't you think?

(Just in case you're really as slow as your comments imply you are, I am specifically telling you that you are wrong and we all know you're refusing to provide any actual evidence whatsoever, because you also know you're wrong)

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Giordano went on to say that while only 10-15 percent of the population is gay, he estimates that a third or more of Disney’s writers are gay, and they “lean into gay and transgender stories.”

Giordano even focused on his career moving forward, saying he is “one step below being a department head,” but as far as Disney is concerned, he’s only “a white male.”

Now, Ive proven I can read an article. Can you do the same?

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Lol have you though? Really?
Where you able to read the rest of the words as well, or are you just going to ignore those?

You're better off going back to the conservative cave than trying to talk to the rest of us.

Its pretty black and white. How would you interpret those quotes?
