Good for Gina I am sure, happy for her. But without discovery nothing has been revealed, nothing dragged into the light, nothing revealed. And so nothing will change. They only lesson Disney learned that day is that if the going gets tough, they have to open up the wallet just a bit further, just a bit wider.

Happy for Gina, but this settlement isn't a victory for anyone but her and Disney.

A rarity in our times, corruption, greed, and abuse are now rampant.

Wow, Gina got paid and a non-disclosure agreement signed I’m sure. We all know Disney is the playground for DEI/cancel culture. It’s deplorable that this has become the case. Sexualization of children and political devisiveness does not belong in children’s entertainment. Although, this kind of thing has been going on for quite a while. Remember the sex organ debacle where Disney artists drew phalluses in the castle towers on Little Mermaid VHS covers? As well, sexual depictions were found in videos where one or two frames within a video would subliminally flash sex organs or scenes.

There are sick people throughout the world of entertainment, and the world in general. We must be diligent about protecting our children’s innocence if we want them to grow up well balanced and whole. Keep fighting for the children and their futures.

It's an important cultural landmark, regardless. Every recent major Disney project which centred themes of DEI, social justice and particularly the girl boss meme has been a complete failure. The irony is that they have actually had a few new good shows and titles, The problem is there is an understandable amount of audience fatigue, and viewing figures have been low. People don't like content which tries to preach at them.

Sure, Disney has managed to save itself for another financial year, but they only managed it because of a password crackdown and a price hike, with the corporate strategy benefitting from bundling. Netflix has experienced the strongest growth, and they told their woke employees to seek employment elsewhere if they didn't like a content package which wasn't dominated by social justice themes.

If not dead, Woke is on life support almost everywhere, although it will probably take at least another year for the change to filter through, given the lead time of the production schedule.

If anything, the collapse in Woke IP is even faster in the gaming industry, with indie games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 experiencing an incredible reception in a creative market stifled by an intellectually bankrupt ideological project for far too long.

"It's an important cultural landmark, regardless." No, it isn't. A public trial would have been such. Settling does nothing of the sort.
