In an op/ed from ZeroHedge, the editors (collectively known as “Tyler Durden”) note that in recent years, few major corporations have promoted cancel culture and support for progressive activists like Disney.
The company is now facing severe backlash for its involvement in woke activism. “Disney fueled cancel culture for years only to find themselves canceled in return,” they write.
The pendulum appears to be swinging as, in fact, progressives hold minority status and limited boycott power.
The company’s attempts to enforce progressive ideologies, such as pressuring actress Gina Carano to add pronouns to her social media bio, led to her controversial dismissal and heightened tensions with conservative audiences.
Disney’s aggressive stance, including its public opposition to Florida’s efforts to curtail gender identity indoctrination in schools, further fueled the controversy.
Revelations of Disney’s internal DEI practices and discriminatory actions against white male actors and employees have damaged its reputation.
The company’s content, perceived as increasingly propagandistic, has seen repeated commercial failures totaling billions of dollars. Almost all recent films and streaming series failed to garner audience approval or profit.
This decline coincides with broader discontent with woke activism and cancel-culture. As Disney faces lawsuits, box office flops, and mass layoffs, the public’s reaction suggests a shift away from progressive agendas.
