  1. This looks like Spitting Image versions of the presidents shat out of an AI image generator.

    At least Spitting Image hired people and had people build horrific monstrosities for the purpose of ridiculing the subjects. This is uncanny valley without intention.

  2. Fuck corporations, they do not care about the lives of anyone other than their shareholders. If you believe otherwise I have a bridge to sell you.

    Also Disney himself was an antisemitic homophobe who got along very well with the other bigots of his time period.

  3. Now that it is no longer profitable to be in favor of gay rights and put gay people into prominent positions they will do all they can to try and keep those same gay artists and performers exploited as cheap labor even as they outwardly back track on their stances with regard to the LGBTQ community

  4. And more ethical artist collectives or unions could have formed and protected those same artists.

    Disney as a corporation gives zero shits about gay people or any type of artistic expression, it was a cold financial decision that gay people had money to part with and they wanted that money.

    Had Disney not existed, better
