There is an explanation for Disney’s war on children

EXCERPT: Read it all at link above.
(For some reason — and I’m saying this based on my personal observations — people on the LGBTQ+++ spectrum are especially attracted to Disney and have been for as long as I can remember.)
What helps push Disney in this direction is America’s declining birthrate (with our population propped up by births to immigrants and illegal aliens). Back in the day, Disney marketed to Boomers. Now, with Millennials eschewing children and, instead, living themselves as perpetual children, it’s only logical for Disney to market itself to groomers. To keep itself viable, it needs lots of new groomers:
Disney still has a profitable kids segment, but its real profits come from overgrown children born into broken families, prematurely coming of sexual age, who are eager to embrace leftist utopian causes and fantasies, who are seeking an identity and an escape at the same time.
The company isn’t for kids, it’s for broken adults. And it’s only natural that Disney would seek to create more broken adults to perpetuate its business model. A healthy functional adult isn’t nearly as profitable for the entertainment giant as a dysfunctional one addicted to its product.
Disney may have changed from charming to creepy, but it’s doing what thinks it needs to do to stay alive.
There are alternatives, though. The Daily Wire still believes there is a market out there for quality, intelligent children’s products. It’s investing $100 million over the next few years to create wholesome, intelligent fare for children. Meanwhile, Dennis Prager’s Kids Watch has already created dozens of fun videos for children that entertain even as they educate about American history, great men and women, and traditional values.
The saddest thing about Disney’s decision is that, for millions of Americans who came of age in the 20th century, Disney is sullying their memories and destroying a world of innocence and beauty that they always believed they’d be able to hand down to their children and grandchildren.

There is an explanation for Disney’s war on children
Very often, when companies go woke, it turns out that the wokeness is a cover for changing market forces. That is, they’re not alienating traditional demographics; they’re reflecting that their money is coming from new demographics. When it comes to Hollywood and the NBA, for example, the big bucks are coming from China, not America. And when it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn’t children; it’s young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up.
The brilliant Daniel Greenfield makes this point in an article entitled “Disney’s Business Model is Turning Kids into Dysfunctional Adults: Its customer base isn’t kids. It’s messed up adults.” Greenfield, as always, has done the research, and, in the case of Disney, he points to the fact that Disney’s most fanatic consumers are in the over 18 demographic:
Disney isn’t for kids anymore. Its movie business is dominated by Marvel blockbusters. Half of Disney+ subscribers, its big bet on the home streaming future, are adults with no children.
What about the theme parks?
60% of Disneyland visitors were adults with no children. Only 36.7% of Disney World visitors had children under 18. The largest demographic for the theme parks, like the movies, are millennials. They are also members of the fandoms who are likeliest to spend money on licensed merchandise, and on toys and movie tie-ins that are Disney’s bread and butter.
And Disney is rapidly adapting with theme parks and resorts that emphasize its Marvel and Star Wars properties more than classic fare. Its Galactic Starcruiser hotel, aimed at Star Wars fans, costs $4,809 for two adults. Why bother with kid stuff when you can sell $13 beers?
Mr. and Mrs. Middle America, who care deeply about their children growing up to be happy, healthy, normal adults, aren’t Disney’s target market. Instead, Disney is directing its resources to the same dysfunctional adults you see screaming on college campuses because their professor forgot to give them a trigger warning before exposing them to the work of an awful, cisgender, heterosexual White male like William Shakespeare.
While Disney’s customers once wept because they needed a bottle, a diaper change, and a nap, its current target demographic become hysterical if someone uses the wrong pronouns in their presence. It’s these people who, having been bombarded since 2008 with messages about alternative sexualities, genders, and lifestyles, and other non-traditional, non-child-oriented messages, have embarked upon a crusade to bring up the next generation in accordance with their “new normal.” Or as Greenfield writes:
Disney’s new demographic are adults who have never properly grown up and on some level still think of themselves as children. That’s also the profile for the average child molester. And of the kind of adult who insists that schools force children to “explore their sexual identities”.
Healthy adults raise, protect and care for children. Deeply unhealthy ones erase the barriers between themselves and children in ways that can be merely immature or outright evil.
This is exactly on target. Peter Pan is their hero— I have heard them speak of that “never have to grow up” ideal. What a sad, pathetic culture we now have. And we have kind of let it happen cuz we couldn’t really comprehend that so many people wanted to hurt children. I really believe only God can clean this mess up. Have mercy, Lord, that we didn’t see this coming…
Disney May have bit off more than they can chew. People are rapidly canceling their Disney TV subscriptions and their parks may be emptier than usual. Still thousands of unwoke parents!!!!!!
AMAZING POST! You have hit every nail on the head, to cover every rationale that is going on at Disney. I know firsthand of this dysfunctional adult, but still child based, personality! Sadly, it is everywhere! There is NO ‘ADJUSTMENT’ OR ‘OFF’ BUTTON!
What can fill up the minds and hearts of grown up people whose personalities will remain child-like forever, is a question that may never be answered well enough and clearly enough to bring them into “non-needy adulthood”. Many are now past middle age, yet still on the same page, mentally and emotionally, skewing their Priorities at all times, as we;; as the story to fit that outcome.
Very adept at maintaining the ‘daily business-end of life’ in a regular job, or ‘everyday life’ there are ‘hard-edged shifts’ in attitude and ‘purpose’ that appear at any time. Dealing with, and indeed, Catering to an adult whose inner child brain cannot be expanded in any way, is a difficult path. Not sure if I have explained this well… these are not weak minded people, they seem to be determined to be correct, sometimes, at any cost, and are very intelligent and skilled in being able to shut down any resistance.
I need a crash-course in Dysfunctional Psychology! LOL Thank you for this in-depth information about the ‘Real Disney’. “Growing up Disney” is a very scary option. Now we can look back to see into the personalities of the “Mouseketeers” and how they were controlled emotionally, to disrupt normal stages of brain development; It is easier now, done with an adorable or somewhat sexy cartoon movie character in less than 2 hours.
This fits in well with the Democrat/Socialist format of their chosen ‘END RESULT’ really does Justify ‘The MEANS’…The Means could easily include anything they need to do or say to reach the desired results. Apparently, it is very easy to become someone’s ‘PUPPET’ . We need to train our children/grandchildren to guard against diabolic control methods. Who would have ever thought DISNEY would do this to our children….How afar back does this mindset go? We are just scratching the surface.
