Film Threat: Animators Blow the Whistle on the Racist, Anti-White Hell Of DEIsney Studios
Woke Transgender Healthy-At-Any-Size Sports Illustrated Fires Either a "Significant" Portion of Its Staffs, or All of Them

After Film Threat's Alan Ng posted a review of Wish -- which has made only $67 million domestically, after an entire month in theaters -- calling it "the worst animated film in Disney's history," Disney animators, both current and escaped, contacted him to share their experiences in DEIsney. All white men are being driven out, and those who aren't fired are made uncomfortable enough that they either retire or leave to work for computer game companies or the like.

The first article about the reports of Disney's animators, fleeing a regime in which it is common to hear coworkers announce "Pale and male is stale," is here. It's about the first moves towards moving out the Old White Men to replace them with DEIsney diversity hires. The first move was getting rid of Pixar legend John Lasseter -- for allegedly hugging women and similar "abuses" that sound, at worse, to be annoyances that could be taken care of with an HR meeting and a boot in his ass.

Though we have no details regarding what happened to John during this time, other high-profile Disney firings included lengthy "struggle sessions" and high-pressure sensitivity training that I will highlight in future reports....

It became apparent within the walls of Disney that anyone supporting Lasseter must immediately go into protection mode by keeping their questions and opinions to themselves. The office culture at the House of Mouse changed drastically overnight. Sources observed that the mood was grim, going from bad to worse. The warm family environment would never return. Regarding Lasseter's innocence or guilt, our sources did not outright believe or not believe the accusation against Lasseter, but they had questions. Questions that they knew would never be answered. Alternately, many felt that an activist faction within the company was growing and conspiring to remove Lasseter, and his inappropriate behavior was the perfect weapon to use against him. Now, it was a matter of how to frame these stories for maximum effect.


So now it appeared the pieces were in place with certain executives wanting to oust Lasseter and a growing faction within the rank-and-file pressing forward with a stack of allegations against him that to this day goes unprosecuted and unproven. With pressure from the top and bottom, in June 2018, Lasseter announced that he would leave the company at the end of the year. One source told us that during an all-hands meeting, once the announcement was made, a female employee raised her hand and asked, "Can we have a woman run this place now?"

The DEI brigades barely bother hiding it -- allegations against White Men are just made to move "Pale Males" out of jobs, so that the DEI crowd (mostly white leftwing women, most of the time) can take them.

DEIsney then set out to... erase John Lasseter, a man who had made them more of a billion dollars, from the DEIsney record books.

The message was clear -- John Lasseter left the Walt Disney Company an utter and total disgrace. Disney Legend...forget it. In fact, moves have been made within the halls of Disney to remove his legacy as if he never existed. Anything that reminded the rank-and-file of Lasseter was removed from plain sight. Are Hawaiian shirts even allowed to be worn on campus anymore? Or heaven forbid, you should utter the phrase, "When John was here..." Publicly, it's not much better. I recently mentioned John's name to a Disney-fanatic friend, and their instant retort was, "he's a bad man."

The worst part of the entire experience was the leadership vacuum created by John's absence. Our sources describe life at Disney afterward as hostile--to say the least--and this hostility spread to all of Disney's business units and brands. Cast Members felt like they were constantly walking on eggshells. The mere act of casting doubt or asking questions about the allegations was met with hostility. You became a marked person, subjected to mind-numbing HR meetings and forced sensitivity training. It gets worse.

...

Though he was never officially charged with formal harassment claims or indictment, and we have very little evidence one way or the other, our sources point to the talent who eventually defected from Disney and followed Lasseter to Skydance Animation as an indicator of the veracity of allegations laid against him.

Now Film Threat has released their second exposee on DEIsney. This is about the culture of fear that now reigns in the animation departments.

Because the DEI enforcement officers want it that way.

If there was ever a time to radically change Disney from the inside, that time was now. With Lasseter out of the way, he was replaced at Disney Animation by Jennifer Lee and Pete Docter at Pixar... Still, in the case of Disney Animation, radical changes needed to be made in the racial and gender makeup of its leadership and creative process. This change began with Raya and the Last Dragon.

This was Lasseter's last film, so they began changing wholesale to erase his paternity of it. They also began firing the people producing it, Briggs and Wellins, because they "didn't fit the correct demographic."

Rumor has it that Lee was gunning for Briggs and Wellins by foisting impossible tasks on them to either get them fired or, better yet, force them to quit. Being the veteran talent that they were, the traps didn't work. Briggs was demoted to "co-director," and Wellins was given a Disney+ series to direct.

...

From here, Raya and the Last Dragon turned from being a traditional Disney animated production to slowly transforming into Disney's first DEI test case. Step one was to load the entire project with female South Asian animators and talent from within the company, then female Asian animators, then female POC animators, and the rest. But that wasn't enough. Rather than pull in other artists from within, a major recruitment push was made to hire more women from outside the company to reach a 50/50 male/female balance for equity's sake.

...


Sources tell us that with Raya and the Last Dragon, the goal wasn't to bring diversity, equity, and inclusion into the existing community of Disney animators but to replace it with a radicalized group of female activists completely.

[One] source also told us that once she expressed concerns about the mission of WiA, she found herself blacklisted from the industry (a prevalent story we've heard) and felt that WiA and similar organizations had become the gatekeepers for women to enter animation. It's not enough as an animator to be a talented female person of color; you have to be "WiA-Approved" and toe the line.

Another example of this new activist culture is the formation of a segregated women's committee that meets regularly to pitch ideas, network, vent, look at storyroom strategies, listen to guest speakers, and empower each other to take on leadership roles. Many of these sessions are sponsored by WiA and strictly for "female-identifying and non-binary people." Can you imagine going into a creative meeting knowing that half the room has already made all the decisions beforehand?

These meetings are literal war rooms as so-called creative sessions are now considered battlefields. Now, imagine if you disagreed with one of their ideas. Shots fired! I'm sure there's a large bag of "ists" nearby to hurl your way.

More at the link. Ng concludes:

The mission of DEI is not equality...it's revenge. The final outcome is a complete takeover...a reset...of the entertainment industry as a whole.

The next update, he says, will be about the culture of fear extending to even DEIsney cast members. (That is, people wearing Mickey Mouse suits at the parks.)

And speaking of woke animation: Amazon decided to make a child-friendly cartoon portraying Satan as the hero and God the villain of the War in Heaven.


Yeah, I'm cancelling Amazon Prime. Not just for this dumb leftwing cultural provocation, but for the fact that almost all of their content is shit.

I've had it since the mid-2000s, but I don't watch their crap movies or TV shows and Prime shipping is available on fewer and fewer products and arrives on time less and less. Honestly I cannot remember watching something "free" on Amazon Prime. Oh right -- I watched a handful of old episodes of Leverage on FreeVee some months ago, but I don't think that's the same a Amazon Prime. And I watched The Boys over a year ago.

But it was a zombie-watch. Who cares about the nth iteration of Evil Superman any longer? Now that we're all collectively over superhero movies, do we have any further need of subversions of and commentaries on superhero movies? When the My Pet Rock fad ended, I'm pretty sure people stopped consuming media that commented on the My Pet Rock fad, too.

I mean, the most interesting thing in The Boys season 3 is that they featured an Avengers parody team to go along with their standard Justice League parody team. And that was okay, but I don't even care about the real Avengers any longer -- do I care about a parody Avengers, then?

So I guess I'm paying $140 per year so I can watch Rings of Power.* Pass. #NotMyGaladriel

I have an idea which I do not know if I will do anything with. Basically the idea is "Return to the Real." Real interactions with people, really going places.

I went shopping somewhere a couple of weeks ago and though, "Isn't this nice? Actually going to a store and seeing the products I intend to buy?"

David Bowie said that when he was recovering from drug addiction, just doing normal things, like shaving, helped him through it. Maybe we're all addicted to the instant-gratification machine called the internet, and need to get back to doing normal things.


* I know, I know: Reacher is said to be good (haven't tried it yet) and the Chris Pratt Terminal List was decent, and maybe they're doing another season. I don't know.

But I'm not paying $140 per year so I can theoretically maybe watch Reacher one day.

Most of what Amazon produces is woke effeminate trash. The Girlboss head of production turned down a Conan the Barbarian series which followed the literary Conan because it was too violent and too "sexist."

Instead she made the Girlboss Trash Wheel of Time travesty.

I just don't want to support these people in any way. If I don't stop giving them money, they'll continue thinking they're doing Really Good Jobs.

Update: One thing I wanted to keep was Amazon Music Unlimited. I can keep that without Prime. I just have to pay an extra dollar per month.
