Update Disney: ObiWan series delayed : Begins, this Woke War, hmmmm

Is the OP giving us ... a desperate cry for help?

Just asking?

 

Nah. Basso's innocuous. Tinman's insufferable.

 

Yes. If there’s currently 1 gay person in a movie, Disney wants to add a midget.

And oh no! We might see movies with 3 tokin’ blacks now!!!

 

The vast majority of Disney media made for, and consumed by, all age groups. Some is aimed at exclusively younger children, but that's like Paw Patrol level stuff and under.

What this is likely to result in is more moments like the gay sauna owner from Frozen.



"Indoctrination" is a loaded term. Having gay, queer, and trans people represented in media isn't indoctrination, it's art imitating life.

 

@tinman are you going to fix the title of this thread, or are you ok pushing lies? It clearly states “increasing representation by 50%”.

 

Gotta think, when those kids realize that, they will gay convert on the spot ... thus ensuring Disney will have a full supply of gays in their theme parks, when the kids grow up. Thank god, there is no pedo required.

 

Why does this bother you?

 

Yes the title of the article is misrepresenting what she said and I cannot hold you responsible for the article title.

BUT..you did write the poll and that misrepresents the math in the exact same way.

 

As long as its kept at 5% or less of characters...and Trans characters are kept to 0.1% of characters, so it can appropriately imitate real life.

 

Some stats that are interesting:

In TV and Cinema media today (based upon speaking parts, not registered actors with the screen guild).

Over represented:

• Black characters make up ~18-22% of all speaking characters. They make up as much as 32% of advertising characters. This is a gigantic shift from ~2017 and has basically doubled. The number of black characters has exploded over the last 2 years, and continues to increase. As of 2020 census, black Americans are ~12% of the population (shrinking).
• Asian characters make up ~8-9% of speaking roles. As of 2020, Asians are ~6% of the population.

Under represented:

• White actors make up 48-50% of all speaking characters in TV. As of 2020 census, whites make up 58% of the US population.
• Latino actors make up 5-6% of all speaking characters. As of 2020 census, Latinos make up 19% of the population.
• If you lump everyone else into "other", they are actually fairly well represented. About 5-6% of speaking parts make up about 5-6% of the "other" categories such as Native American, Pacific Islander, "multi race" or "other".

So to balance under representation on TV and in media, Disney needs to focus on more White and Latino acting parts, and reduce the number of Asian and Black characters.

As of this year on TV, LGBT characters make up 12% of all speaking parts. LGBT as part of the US population is somewhere between 3.5 and 5.5% of the population, depending on which poll you look at. So if Disney wants to be representative of the population, they should actually cut the number of Queer characters by 50%.

 

Thanks for the Clarification
Cause man . . .the number for representation would be off
