Its underperformance at the box office, however, proves that no amount of media attention can mask the distaste many Americans have towards Disney since its dive into the deep end of wokeism.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood newsletter The Ankler <a href=\"https:\/\/theankler.com\/p\/lightyear-stumbles-badly-top-gun\">scrambled<\/a> to explain the faceplant on Monday, pointing to every possible explanation except Disney\u2019s recent doubling down on pushing its sexual agenda on children. They attribute its failure to its lack of appeal to girls, an unrelated tie to the original Toy Story movies, and the harm that putting Pixar films on Disney Plus has had.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mCsok-pvoH4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Evans,<\/a> who voices the titular character and replaced the right-of-center actor Tim Allen who originated the role of Buzz Lightyear, has called critics of the movie\u2019s use of an animated same-sex kiss to further Disney\u2019s LGBT agenda \u201cidiots\u201d who will eventually \u201cdie off like dinosaurs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It never dawned on The Ankler, Evans, or Disney defendants that the reason the entertainment giant is losing stake in American households is that many parents do not support the over-sexualization and indoctrination of their children.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/COSA-DisneyBusiness-Full-Report-0410.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poll<\/a> conducted by The Trafalgar Group in April 2022, 68 percent of respondents were turned off by the entertainment company\u2019s increased focus on creating content that exposes children to sexual ideas. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNews reports reveal Disney is focusing on creating content to expose young children to sexual ideas,\u201d the survey asked. \u201cDoes this make you more or less likely to do business with Disney?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>57.2 percent of respondents said they were \u201cmuch less likely\u201d to do business with Disney, 11 percent were \u201cless likely,\u201d and only 9.4 percent were \u201cmore likely\u201d to do business with them.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techarp.com\/home\/lightyear-banned-kiss-scene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14<\/a> countries banned screenings of \u201cLightyear\u201d due to the same-sex kiss scene between two women. Although it is not confirmed yet, it is likely the movie will also be banned in China after Chinese authorities asked for \u201ccuts\u201d to the scene and Disney refused (although Disney has been all too <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/09\/09\/i-watched-mulan-so-you-dont-have-to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">willing<\/a> to bend to the demands of Chinese Communist Party censors before).<\/p>\n<p>Disney is digging itself into a deeper and deeper hole as it doubles down on its self-proclaimed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocate.com\/arts-entertainment\/2022\/3\/30\/disney-execs-promote-not-so-secret-gay-agenda-leaked-internal-vid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cnot-at-all-secret gay agenda\u201d<\/a> in response to Florida Gov.
