Disney reportedly pulls Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode over trans athlete story

https://www.polygon.com/news/479614/disney-reportedly-pulls-marvels-moon-girl-and-dinosaur-episode-over-trans-athlete-story

An upcoming episode of Marvel animated series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur won’t air on Disney Channel over its politically sensitive LGBTQ themes, people who worked on the show say. The episode is about the recurring character Brooklyn, a trans classmate of Lunella Lafayette (aka Moon Girl), competing in a girl’s volleyball game and a “a narrow-minded coach” who tries to have Brooklyn barred from playing.

When coworkers say they are taking vacations to Disney properties I say I am sorry for them. When they go practically anywhere else, I say I am jealous!

And yes, I have been twice. Waste of time and money. Even brought my young son thinking perhaps seeing it from a child's perspective would change my mind. He was meh. He did during the same time love Sea World, which has its own issues.

fascism told us NOT to do.

Same for all those chickensh*t corporations tumbling over each other to advertise on X/Twitter. It's ridiculous and pathetic.
