It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

  • Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
  • Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
  • Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
  • Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"

So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?

“Openly” as if Christians aren’t the dominant cultural and political group in the USA

I dont see how this is news there are millions of christians its not insane for one to show up in a disney movie, the trans argument is usually they are like .001% of the population but get more representation than the rest, I think its all stupid either way and the ppl making shit should be allowed to cast whatever fits their vision and not trends

Yeah, "demonstrably" or "obnoxiously" would probably be much more accurate..

a shift in conservative culture

independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character

conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically

I guess Nazis saying "I'll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor" and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.

I am curious as to which flavor of Christianity they are portraying 🤔

[-] darkpanda@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

Supply side Jesus, presumably.

Corporate "allyship" at its finest.

Disney will be happy to fight for the rights of LGBT people.... When it's profitable and will not actually show up to the battle until AFTER the oppressed person has won.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 23 hours ago

Corporate "allyship" was all for show.

Better headline, "Disney toes the line for Nazi scum, and Walt himself was a Nazi sympathiser even after Kristallnacht. EPCOT was his fascistic wet dream. Fuck Disney throughout time."

I feel like these corps did a calculation and figured out everyone has an excuse to not boycott companies like Disney except right wingers who have become exceptionally good at the boycott.

In my experience those people will typically boycott brands as a group meanwhile my friends find every excuse in the book to support the major corps hurting them. Even aoc went to Florida during covid. And people wonder why they win.

Does this Christian character get made fun of all the time for being out of touch with reality? Is this why Kathleen is out, too much jesus? lol, probably not.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 12 hours ago

Christians rarely get made fun of media, evangelicals will throw a fit. To give an example supernatural show had to shoehorn "God" as the original creator to non Christian gods and religions, the writers were afraid of the snowflake christians
