Disney is Dead.

I lived two blocks away from Disneyland in Anaheim California as a boy. i was there on opening day. I watched the Mickey Mouse Club. I am sure Walt is rolling in his grave to see what has happened to his family oriented theme park. The woke generation will support the new Disney. The rest of use will go elsewhere.

It occurs to me this banning of those words is very UNCHRISTIAN. I suppose they don't care. I have never been to Disney Land and I have never had the desire to do so.

Having been a disneyphile since the original Mouseketeer show in the 1950s, I am saddened to see all that Walt built, wrecked on the shrill outcry of a few. I read a comment on the Daily Wire to the effect that the Board doesn't care about a few disgruntled customers -- in a multinational company the size of Disney, a few US customers that disconnect Disney+ or skip the Disneyland vacation aren't going to make a dent. I do wonder, however, in their eternal bending of the knee to the Chinese government whether the "woke" cant will play well in Beijing. I can't imagine the Chinese censors accepting gay characters or activities in the background, let alone the foreground, of Disney offerings.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a humming sound: Walt Disney, spinning in his grave.

Ladis and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the most pitiful attraction on earth--the amazing Desolving Disney Empire! Watch in utter disgust as that once beloved Magical Kingdom bubbles and sags into the most noxious pile of slag and muck ever seen or imagined. Farewell to childhood fun. Farewell to princesses and princes. Farewell to family fun for all ages. Farewell to Tinkerbelle the fairytale fairy. From here on in, the dish to be served up is just plain fairy and fruit salad on a platter that identifies as whatever it damned well pleases. Never made it to the Magic Kingdom, never will. It's gone.

Walt Disney must be doing something like 75K RPM in his grave, and yeah, I haven't spent a penny on anything from Disney since they got busted for putting dildos on the covers of kids' DVDs and animating erections on characters in their cartoons - to say nothing of the collectivist / anti-cultural political rot that's being written into the fabric of the entire corporate structure. Let them reap the financial reward of catering to a tiny minority of intellectual (at least) deviants. Yes, people have the right to do whatever they want in their own bedrooms. But there are, always have been, and always will be, exactly two (2) genders, male and female. Even if you go Full Jenner you're still either-or. (And to counter-arguments referencing that Polycles thing in the Louvre, you do not establish a principle from a borderline case.) Shoving sexuality at kids - deviant or otherwise - is a form of molestation and should be treated as such, regardless of legal inaction on the matter. Yes, the dildos and erections are a different issue than pronouns, but they spring from the same rotten root.

Along with the boycott (for the record I have not missed a thing, including the lame Star Wars pastiches Disney has spewed at us,) we should take this as a cue to do some no-compromise activism: Reclaim the language as gender-specific, including (gasp!) the default to gender-male pronouns.

Each person will have to decide how comfortable he is with this (see what I did there?) but I recommend:

- Rejecting out of hand the practice of defaulting to the grammar-obliterating plurals of "they" or "their";
- Always using gender-specific pronouns, regardless of context, based on the gender of the subject at hand;
- As above, defaulting to gender-male in any case where gender is indeterminate - not as a "chauvinistic" intent but as a simple continuation of standard linguistic practice (for which practice there was never evidence in support of "chauvinism" in any case.) Or default to gender-female if you want - though the change is itself tends to be jarring and evocative of group-think.

If you want to go whole hog, below your signature line in your emails make up and append your own "custom pronouns." I once put "Bloortz / Schplaad / Zooble" beneath mine at work. HR was not amused. So I replied that the courts are on our side:

... linked to the ruling itself:

... but thereafter left it out, point having been made. Outside of work there should be no such constraints, I'm thinking.

Addendum: Back in 2016 Libertarian commentator J.C. Bourgue penned an excellent article on the subject, both hilarious and insightful - bookmarking recommended:

Went to Disneyland when I was young with a friend and had a great time. Returned many times afterward and took my family when they were young. I will never return.

disney is dead to me, as Mr. Wonderful says on Shark Tank.

The traditional values Disney will last from many generations to come, even if to a lesser degree. The woke corporate Disney will always be at the mercy of whatever is the latest wind direction, uncertain. Pathetic.
