Few things were more eye opening then watching videos of parents try to read from books approve for school libraries at school board meetings, and being stopped because they are too phonographic.
Please remember, not all of us agree with Mr. Eiger in his politics, and I’ll go out on a limb here and say, I find myself at odds with the gay community, even though I’m gay myself because I have morals and a backbone
@bartlester591 Despite being a straight guy I don't blame you because it feels like there's an effort to put gay men and women(particularly men) in the pedophile box society put y'all in during the 50s. So yeah, you fighting this with your sense of morality and backbone is a smart move. Hell black folks like myself are using the same thing to combat the victim mentality they're forcing on us.
One thing is being Gay which nothing wrong with that the problem is sexualizing kids and throwing this programing if you don't like your body transform which will do damage that maybe can't turn back basically your robbing there childhood not leaving with a choice with this gender identity put it in reverse your a child gay and the school is programing you to be straight how would you feel
I'm racking my brain trying to remember what Disney's position was on 9-11 and the later wars in Iraq / Afghanistan. If Bob is going to be using WWII analogies about companies getting behind or rallying around national or divisive issues well outside of its purview or wheelhouse. This guy is just using the company coffers to push someone's political angle. Not the only company to do it, but with his White House LARP he's the most visible, which is coming back to bite him in the ass.
I remember when the bill came out, a clothing store by where I live had "say gay" t-shirts in their storefront. They went out of business last November.
I’m someone that earns a significant salary and when I think of vacation I think universal or other parts of Europe. I’m raising my boys to be men and my girls to be women, I don’t want to have to worry about someone saying or doing something inappropriate to my kids when we are supposed to be having fun. Disney just is not a consideration anymore.
What about old school Disney movies and the like? The kind of animated classics that haven't been touched by current events? Surely they hold some place in our hearts.
We must put up a fight against this or there will be no world even for adults. Kids are the future I put my faith in them and try today to make a better place for them. We can not sit down and watch the world collapse.
What people who casually say: " Those 2.4M subs who left where just Indians" fail to realize is that those 2.4M Indians thought Disney+ was trash without cricket. Using their wallets they told Disney they have almost zero entertaining content.
Iger needs to look up the definition of fiduciary duty, the thing he owes to the actual shareholders and the legal consequences of violating it. I'm sure there's a few dozen attorneys over there who can explain it to him. The company is not his personal platform to aggrandize himself for his own personal glory.
He is just the mouthpiece for Larry Fink in NYC. Everything goes directly through Blackrock's agenda. Other shareholders don't seem to take it up with daddy Blackrock.
It’s hard to push the “oh some perceive it as agenda driven” narrative when you have video of your VPs talking about their “not so secret gay agenda” and “throwing queerness into everything.” I could practically hear the collective blood pressure of Disney’s PR department skyrocketing the longer he ran his mouth.
People forget that when they say LBTQ+ that they are supporting peoples sexual preferences. Which shouldn't be part of kids content anyway. Its just stupid. Support equality not people announcing who they want to have sex with.
What's hilarious is if you are concerned about your employers (your LGBT ones at least) then maybe what you shouldn't be doing is shoving shoving their ideologies down your audience's throat, causing said audience to become MORE hostile to people who hold those beliefs. Companies like Disney are making LGBT people seem like a nuisance to everyone else, people who otherwise have no issue with the personal lifestyles those people live. It's like how a vegan diet is fine, but you don't have to make it your whole personality and broadcast it all the time.
Lol how do you know someone's a vegan? Wait a little bit, they'll tell you. Jokes aside, you're right. I don't have any problems with anyone from the Alphabet Squad (I say that lovingly, btw lol), but having it thrown around at everything literally all the time is just... exhausting.
@DavidSmith-mt7tb Forgive my cynicism, but I think making the audience more hostile by shoving LGBT ideologies down their throats is intentional. The way I see it, us geeks aren't the only ones nostalgic for the old days. Business execs like Iger are nostalgic for them too, where they didn't have to share spaces with women, people of color, or the filthy LGBT. So how do you get rid of these lots without letting them know you want them gone? You let the audience do the work for you. This why as a heterosexual black man if I hear an announcement about a race-swap, gender-swap, or LGBT addition in any of Disney marketing I take that as my cue to not buy what they're selling, and I carry on with my life.

We aren't at war. I fully understand that during WW2 they probably were sensitive to anything that might seem war related, people's father's, brothers, uncles, etc, were getting killed overseas - obviously it would be a poor decision to take a stance that might upset the families of those losing someone to the war. We aren't at war, nobody should be pushing politics and especially gender nonsense on minors.
There's only two ways Disney changes course on this. Hostile takeover from activist investors. Or disney becomes so cheap that retail investors take over the stock.
If you think 'going broke' will force a course correction you're missing the point. Disneys largest shareholders are institutional investors like Blackrock and the Vanguard group, and they're more than happy to take the hit on this tiny part of their huge portfolio. As long as we're all arguing with each other about the colour of the little Mermaid or whether a teacher can say 'gay', we're not united against them doing things like buying huge swathes of residential homes to create monopolies in the rental market.
@@McFrozenNuggets he may be their largest single individual investor but Blackrock is an institutional investor and owns 6.6% of the stock. Given Peltzs entire net worth seems to be around 1.6 billion dollars, I think surely that 6.6% owned by Blackrock must make them the largest investor? But hopefully you're correct.
'Dear' Mr Iger::.. Clearly, there's something you have forgotten in your tenure. I'll attempt to elucidate as to what it is:: _"The Market will _*_not_*_ be denied..._ _"...The Market _*_decides_*_ ..._ _"...We [ the customers ] _*_are_*_ The Market..."_
The only time its appropriate for companies to be involved in politics is if they are being treated unfairly for no reason, or if a dumb law could kill their business. Even then, only business arguements should be used. Disney qualifies for neither.
I have canceled my D+ subscription. I'm Done. I just don't care about Disney anymore. I am not even angry anymore, I just don't care. RIP Star Wars, Marvel, and Mickey. The Wallet is Shut and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
If I had the money to buy a controlling stake in Disney, I would be rather pissed at Disney for their stupidy in resent years, such as the bad choices made with Lucasfilm and their lack of action in regards to their people actively causing problems online and hurting their products, then I would also want to know why they have stray away from real family values and why they not learned their lesson!
I identify as a 52 year old white male and I’m mature enough to understand that not everything is made to appeal to me. So in fine stepping away from Marvel, Star Wars and other franchises that I’ve enjoyed over the years and enjoying what came before. If they can find an audience and success producing these things then have at it. Life is too short to demand that my every demand for entertainment be satisfied.
if you want to see LGBT representation done right go watch 'Paranorman' *spoilers* one of the characters was gay but it didn't defy his personality or contribution what so ever because you only find out he's gay from one throw-away joke at the end. I don't watch a movie soley based on a character's sexual peception, so don't know why Disney feel it's necessary to do so now.
Y'know, teaching _traditional_ sex and where babies come from to kids growing up is difficult enough as it is, but at least boy/girl relations are a universal and easier concept to understand since heterosexuality is _the_ dominant sexuality (FOR A REASON) - that isn't a knock down, that's a fact, it's the status quo. How in all the nine circles of Hell do you explain the other kinds of sexual lifestyles that are, at best, questionable and confusing, thus making it harder and twice as uncomfortable to explain to kids growing up? Growing up, you should only know the basics: learn why having sibling-like friendships with others members of the same sex are important and healthy for a masculine man and a feminine woman, and the sexual attraction and romantic treatment between boys and girls. Anything else you wanna know about, you're on your own after you move outta the house.
And the folks will triple down on not going to see these sick twisted woke movies and they will pay a huge price for catering to the woke mob! Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave just like they are destroying Lucas’s vision and legacy for Star Wars. So sad!
IDC what anyone thinks. I'm just gonna stick to writing fanfics where I give Molly McGee, Andrea and Libby each a boyfriend (For the first 2, they prefer Italian men and they hate Hollywood for wussifying men because Molly and Andrea love their men "rough, mean, dirty, hairy, nasty and spicy. And not to mention Italian!") Although Libby dates a shy guy, she also agrees that we need more Burt Reynolds and David Hasselhoffs and a lot less RuPauls and Boy Georges. They even learn that they're much more happier without all that social media and Disney shit and that there's a life other than that, a real world to see and they hilariously say they love visiting boring rural towns in Oklahoma and Indiana than a crappy mouse park.
People need to remember Iger has Democratic political aspirations. He wouldn't do anything to threaten that future. All this is just a platform for him to promote his virtues.
Well, lucky me. I have one less thing to spend money on for the foreseeable future. I won't save a staggering amount of money, but I'll save money lol.
Here is what the language in the so-called “don’t say gay” bill says: “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” The problem here is the vagueness of the second half, which none of you cited. I have a problem with that because it leaves too much to interpretation by lawmakers as well as educators. I share your dislike of Iger and the political agenda Disney currently embraces and promotes. But I equally dislike the Florida lawmakers who I believed have overreached with this law that also promotes an agenda. As for grooming, we could easily make the case that the Walt Disney company has been grooming children for nearly 100 years. In this way they are the same as any media company that promotes a certain viewpoint on gender and racial roles to fit a certain acceptable norm or narrative. That narrative has evolved perhaps to the point of over-correcting. But it isn’t really a new phenomenon. One more point: I don’t have a problem with Disney or any other studio making movies that have an underlying message of inclusivity towards groups that have been traditionally marginalized. What I do have a problem with is bad storytelling. This is where I feel that current entertainment companies are often failing, especially Disney. They are hiring shitty writers who are focussed only on the message rather than telling a good and universally compelling story.
What he's describing is a political lobby group not an entertainment company... Try going back to animated cartoons and entertaining children, not influencing adults... They're not very good at it...
Wow, with these answers from Bob the answers are pretty much meaningless. After all, the true answers are in the actions not the words. I just don’t really care about Disney until the create something entertaining and with a story. However, because of the woke political agenda card and the woke people pushing beliefs that nobody typical or not really cares about it’s definitely making the company and himself look like a bad leader. I’m not a trump president supporter but the actions of Iger is almost exactly what Trump would do and lie about it. I know with a comment like this it will cause controversy in the fans and the woke, but you can’t change the fact of actions and I don’t really care. I do love Disney but they need to go back to entertaining stories and not try to promote judge a book by its cover or listening to the minorities who will never buy the old/new stuff. Woke people just shut up and let the creative people do their work. 🎤👇
Agreed with Chris Pratt seems like a cool dude, but he has been already paid for GoT and he is done with the role after this movie (regardless if it's a success or a flop), so the money given to this movie will only benefit Marvel/Disney at this point; and that right there is what makes it easy to me to keep my money far from them. Think about it. Don't get me wrong, the movie will still do a great ammount of money in any case, just don't count on mine.
12th grade is too far. sorry but i disagree that they shouldn't be allowed to talk about this all the way to 18 years old. i would take it to 7th grade. you are old enough to be able to figure out this stuff is stupid by that age.
People, figure it out: Disney is trying to reach rising generations, and - with all due respect as an old guy myself - not middle-aged internet cranks looking for clickbait. Your fear of diversity is the past; diversity is the future, especially when it comes to buying actual tickets. Marvel, Star Wars, DC, these are all Boomer/Millennial legacy IP that means very little to the people Disney needs to be buying tickets. It ain't about the 'woke' alone, (although they've handled that miserably) it's about trying desperately to get 14 year olds to GAF about Superman and Luke Skywalker. You've all done a swell job of damaging Disney but that doesn't change the basic reality: Black people, Brown people, young people, they all attend movies. And with every passing week the country cares less about your 'woke' obsession. Iger does not need your money, Iger needs a future for his company and you guys? You're the past.
Except polls are increasingly showing that GenZ does not agree with the Twitter Wokies; it’s mostly Millennials and Gen X-ers who are afraid of being perceived as out-of-touch. Look it up.
you're delusional,you are thinking to the ideal but losing the fact,like diversity yes is the future but think how is disney trying to promote it? by hate by taking beloved character of certain race or race and change it, they aren't bulding anything for diversity, no new character no new story or author, they always,plus disney isn't all this great name for young people you say they are trying to bulild for new generation but in the meanwhile they are destroy their product for people that don't even care or watching, they might trying to appeal at new generation but the only think they are getting is failing because they don't understand nothing about they own product and the people who watch it so is very doubtful that they will eb able to get the new generation of that people, like everything going woke is losing money if there was an entire new generation interested in this new product they won't be bombing everytime

I heard Disney opens a Amusement Park on Epsteins Island. True?
We aren't at war. I fully understand that during WW2 they probably were sensitive to anything that might seem war related, people's father's, brothers, uncles, etc, were getting killed overseas - obviously it would be a poor decision to take a stance that might upset the families of those losing someone to the war. We aren't at war, nobody should be pushing politics and especially gender nonsense on minors.
There's only two ways Disney changes course on this. Hostile takeover from activist investors. Or disney becomes so cheap that retail investors take over the stock.
If you think 'going broke' will force a course correction you're missing the point. Disneys largest shareholders are institutional investors like Blackrock and the Vanguard group, and they're more than happy to take the hit on this tiny part of their huge portfolio. As long as we're all arguing with each other about the colour of the little Mermaid or whether a teacher can say 'gay', we're not united against them doing things like buying huge swathes of residential homes to create monopolies in the rental market.
Their largest investor is now Nelson Peltz.
@@McFrozenNuggets he may be their largest single individual investor but Blackrock is an institutional investor and owns 6.6% of the stock. Given Peltzs entire net worth seems to be around 1.6 billion dollars, I think surely that 6.6% owned by Blackrock must make them the largest investor? But hopefully you're correct.
@krishall2086 Blackrock recently got exposed in an unwinnable lawsuit seen on The Quartering's channel.
'Dear' Mr Iger::..
Clearly, there's something you have forgotten in your tenure. I'll attempt to elucidate as to what it is::
_"The Market will _*_not_*_ be denied..._
_"...The Market _*_decides_*_ ..._
_"...We [ the customers ] _*_are_*_ The Market..."_
Flourish 🤔
By firing the lowlies that push the millstone?
The only time its appropriate for companies to be involved in politics is if they are being treated unfairly for no reason, or if a dumb law could kill their business.
Even then, only business arguements should be used.
Disney qualifies for neither.
I have canceled my D+ subscription. I'm Done. I just don't care about Disney anymore. I am not even angry anymore, I just don't care. RIP Star Wars, Marvel, and Mickey. The Wallet is Shut and will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
What took you so long?

Go support Universal. 😎
Bob's answer to the "crackpot's" question
"Baba baba baba blah blee blah blah blah blah blahdeblah"
If I had money in DIS stock, i'd sell now if I hadn't already. (Disclaimer: I never invested in Disney stock, and don't plan to anytime soon.)
If I had the money to buy a controlling stake in Disney, I would be rather pissed at Disney for their stupidy in resent years, such as the bad choices made with Lucasfilm and their lack of action in regards to their people actively causing problems online and hurting their products, then I would also want to know why they have stray away from real family values and why they not learned their lesson!
Is Bob INVITING Mr. Peltz back for round 2?
I wouldn't be surprised if Peltz had a hand in this.
"You can't trust Disney with your kids."
Who growing up would have ever thought that to be true?🤯
How many stockholders sold their stock after this?
Bobby boii just nuked disney corporation to christmas future! 😆
"Drag queens waving their junk in your kids face" was a metaphor or did happen?
It’s happened several times, apparently. If you look for it on TH-cam I’m sure several news people have covered it.
So did he poll the entire company, or listen to a few empowered and entitled people?
Does the New York Shareholder sound suspiciously like Ben Shapiro?
It is him
Ben Shapiro DESTROYS Bob Iger with LOGIC and FACTS
nah, he wasn't talking fast enough
That new york gay dude had the best question
I'll ask the obvious question: Is Iger gay? If so it explains why he has done what he has done. Self interest.
Is he a crossdresser? Does he like kids? Those are the questions that came to my mind.
I identify as a 52 year old white male and I’m mature enough to understand that not everything is made to appeal to me. So in fine stepping away from Marvel, Star Wars and other franchises that I’ve enjoyed over the years and enjoying what came before. If they can find an audience and success producing these things then have at it. Life is too short to demand that my every demand for entertainment be satisfied.
Classic word salad and chaff to redirect non answers from sir Bob. Stockholders should be very concerned
And since when do CEO’s care so much about the livelihood, thoughts and beliefs of their line employees?
Classic inmates running the asylum and Bob Iger isn’t the guy to fix it. He created this political monster to begin with.
if you want to see LGBT representation done right go watch 'Paranorman' *spoilers* one of the characters was gay but it didn't defy his personality or contribution what so ever because you only find out he's gay from one throw-away joke at the end.
I don't watch a movie soley based on a character's sexual peception, so don't know why Disney feel it's necessary to do so now.
Hmmm whats best for our cast members and employees? You mean the decisions that ultimately cost thousands of them there jobs?
Double down on that bs then we will double down on refusing to give you money
I am savoring the schadenfreude of every single Disney fail that much more after this...
Iger is a born liar
Well, well, well. . . Look at that. LGBTQIALGHDTVWTF+ strikes again. . . And fails. . . AGAIN.
Lol 😂 Disney...are they still a company?
i agree with you that people are hired to do a job, but the companies that truly value their workers, will stand up for them. that's what disney did.
If the stock tanks, employees get fired
I love not giving Disney money. I also like watching Disney burn to the ground
I myself might turn gay for that caller who destroyed Iger. What a legend.
Y'know, teaching _traditional_ sex and where babies come from to kids growing up is difficult enough as it is, but at least boy/girl relations are a universal and easier concept to understand since heterosexuality is _the_ dominant sexuality (FOR A REASON) - that isn't a knock down, that's a fact, it's the status quo. How in all the nine circles of Hell do you explain the other kinds of sexual lifestyles that are, at best, questionable and confusing, thus making it harder and twice as uncomfortable to explain to kids growing up? Growing up, you should only know the basics: learn why having sibling-like friendships with others members of the same sex are important and healthy for a masculine man and a feminine woman, and the sexual attraction and romantic treatment between boys and girls. Anything else you wanna know about, you're on your own after you move outta the house.
And the folks will triple down on not going to see these sick twisted woke movies and they will pay a huge price for catering to the woke mob! Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave just like they are destroying Lucas’s vision and legacy for Star Wars. So sad!
Disney can get back to the projects they canceled.
Bob, will not understand until Disney go bankrupt(broke from going double down woke).
Some of us gays don't like all this inclusion. I personally liked a member's only type set up.
IDC what anyone thinks. I'm just gonna stick to writing fanfics where I give Molly McGee, Andrea and Libby each a boyfriend (For the first 2, they prefer Italian men and they hate Hollywood for wussifying men because Molly and Andrea love their men "rough, mean, dirty, hairy, nasty and spicy. And not to mention Italian!") Although Libby dates a shy guy, she also agrees that we need more Burt Reynolds and David Hasselhoffs and a lot less RuPauls and Boy Georges. They even learn that they're much more happier without all that social media and Disney shit and that there's a life other than that, a real world to see and they hilariously say they love visiting boring rural towns in Oklahoma and Indiana than a crappy mouse park.
People need to remember Iger has Democratic political aspirations. He wouldn't do anything to threaten that future. All this is just a platform for him to promote his virtues.
It just keeps happening
Well, lucky me. I have one less thing to spend money on for the foreseeable future. I won't save a staggering amount of money, but I'll save money lol.
You promote the "acceptance of all people...'" Except those who disagree with your politics.
Here is what the language in the so-called “don’t say gay” bill says: “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” The problem here is the vagueness of the second half, which none of you cited. I have a problem with that because it leaves too much to interpretation by lawmakers as well as educators. I share your dislike of Iger and the political agenda Disney currently embraces and promotes. But I equally dislike the Florida lawmakers who I believed have overreached with this law that also promotes an agenda. As for grooming, we could easily make the case that the Walt Disney company has been grooming children for nearly 100 years. In this way they are the same as any media company that promotes a certain viewpoint on gender and racial roles to fit a certain acceptable norm or narrative. That narrative has evolved perhaps to the point of over-correcting. But it isn’t really a new phenomenon. One more point: I don’t have a problem with Disney or any other studio making movies that have an underlying message of inclusivity towards groups that have been traditionally marginalized. What I do have a problem with is bad storytelling. This is where I feel that current entertainment companies are often failing, especially Disney. They are hiring shitty writers who are focussed only on the message rather than telling a good and universally compelling story.
You were talking over him all the time! Is this show for your audience?
Double talk, self-contradictions, virtue-signaling, claiming extreme victimhood, and lying his ass off. What a specimen he is.
...Disney's made out of money...
It's hard to hear the call because the volume is low and your commentary is so loud. 🥺
What he's describing is a political lobby group not an entertainment company... Try going back to animated cartoons and entertaining children, not influencing adults... They're not very good at it...
Wow, with these answers from Bob the answers are pretty much meaningless. After all, the true answers are in the actions not the words. I just don’t really care about Disney until the create something entertaining and with a story. However, because of the woke political agenda card and the woke people pushing beliefs that nobody typical or not really cares about it’s definitely making the company and himself look like a bad leader. I’m not a trump president supporter but the actions of Iger is almost exactly what Trump would do and lie about it. I know with a comment like this it will cause controversy in the fans and the woke, but you can’t change the fact of actions and I don’t really care. I do love Disney but they need to go back to entertaining stories and not try to promote judge a book by its cover or listening to the minorities who will never buy the old/new stuff. Woke people just shut up and let the creative people do their work. 🎤👇
I will be watching guardians of the galaxy 3 . Mainly because of Chris Pratt. He is respectful of fans .
Agreed with Chris Pratt seems like a cool dude, but he has been already paid for GoT and he is done with the role after this movie (regardless if it's a success or a flop), so the money given to this movie will only benefit Marvel/Disney at this point; and that right there is what makes it easy to me to keep my money far from them. Think about it. Don't get me wrong, the movie will still do a great ammount of money in any case, just don't count on mine.
Now we arm Naw zis!!!!
12th grade is too far.
sorry but i disagree that they shouldn't be allowed to talk about this all the way to 18 years old.
i would take it to 7th grade.
you are old enough to be able to figure out this stuff is stupid by that age.
Nah Still a minor
People, figure it out: Disney is trying to reach rising generations, and - with all due respect as an old guy myself - not middle-aged internet cranks looking for clickbait. Your fear of diversity is the past; diversity is the future, especially when it comes to buying actual tickets. Marvel, Star Wars, DC, these are all Boomer/Millennial legacy IP that means very little to the people Disney needs to be buying tickets. It ain't about the 'woke' alone, (although they've handled that miserably) it's about trying desperately to get 14 year olds to GAF about Superman and Luke Skywalker. You've all done a swell job of damaging Disney but that doesn't change the basic reality: Black people, Brown people, young people, they all attend movies. And with every passing week the country cares less about your 'woke' obsession. Iger does not need your money, Iger needs a future for his company and you guys? You're the past.
Except polls are increasingly showing that GenZ does not agree with the Twitter Wokies; it’s mostly Millennials and Gen X-ers who are afraid of being perceived as out-of-touch. Look it up.
....Ok, Boomer.
Ok groomer
you're delusional,you are thinking to the ideal but losing the fact,like diversity yes is the future but think how is disney trying to promote it? by hate by taking beloved character of certain race or race and change it, they aren't bulding anything for diversity, no new character no new story or author, they always,plus disney isn't all this great name for young people you say they are trying to bulild for new generation but in the meanwhile they are destroy their product for people that don't even care or watching, they might trying to appeal at new generation but the only think they are getting is failing because they don't understand nothing about they own product and the people who watch it so is very doubtful that they will eb able to get the new generation of that people, like everything going woke is losing money if there was an entire new generation interested in this new product they won't be bombing everytime
Then we double down on not giving them our money.
