Nothing seems to be holy to these 'Christians'. Some are making terrible jokes about all Muslims having to deal with the consequences of hell, because of their fake believe - Others are even joking about the holocaust.. why do you even need a book if you have no morals?

What if I am offended by Christian characters, something wildly inappropriate for young impressionable minds?
Don’t watch it! We should always vote what we like with our wallets. If we all do, it will all figure itself out.
Disney be like: "Friendship ended with rainbow capitalism, now christian capitalism is my best friend."
Any way the wind blows...
Doesn't really matters to me.....
The State Religion, I guess.
boo Disney. Spineless.
Disney has a history of gay censorship, and seem to have Christian movies every year à la Christmas
Spineless? They're rainbow capitalists through and through. Fuck them.
No, they aren't. They're just capitalists and will say and do whatever makes them the most money. Previously, that was slapping rainbows on shit, but now it's not.
But yes, absofuckinglutly fuck then.
it was only a matter of time. Ms Marvel had openly Muslim characters and Turning Red had Buddhists.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
The Chronicles of Narnia
Crazy how they just gave up on the Narnia series. You'd think the original YA novel series would have been easy to punch up and deliver as AAA Cinema slop. Instead the whole thing fell apart inside three films (the first two of which were fairly well received, and riding tight on the LotR blockbuster adaptation, to boot).
I guess it was just too many characters, too much technical expertise, and too much hard work. Far easier to release a bunch of Sound of Freedom tier psycho-sexual thrillers. Something you can film with a handy cam, a fist full of confused child actors, and a dime bag of columbian white to get Jim Caviezel zooted out of his gord.
Religion or LGBT is a false dichotomy and shit like this just fuels division.
Fuck you Disney
Priesthood was a religious answer for gay men historically, before more modern sects that are openly accepting. The modern non-denominational Christian churches are just cancer.
Yup. Disney doesn't stand for anything. They just pander to wherever they think the money is.
Really hope Jesus makes his comeback via an appearance on RuPaul. The bible does say it will be unexpected.
The stories in the bible happened long ago. There arent any prophecies reaching into our age.

This is the first openly Christian character to feature in a Disney film since 2007's Bridge to Terabithia.
So it's not really the first then, is it?
An exclusive poll for Newsweek conducted by Redfield and Wilton Strategies in July found that 34 percent of viewers disapproved of Disney's attempt to add more LGBTQ+ topics to its content.
This I never understand. If Disney is a for profit company, why would they not listen to their majority? Aren't they leaving money on the table like this? "Well, because of Trump." Yeah but how does that matter, specifically? (The article does not go in to detail about that) Is Trump going to compensate them for it??
This article isn't very well written. Many such cases, sadly.
Isn't Captain America Christian too? Like, he openly says there's only one God, he goes to church etc.
It could be seen as a product of his time (the 1940s).
Agent Coulson says something like that too, I believe
Note your comment states 34 percent disagree, but didn't state how many didn't care one way or the other, or rate the relative likelihood of spending money or refusing to based on the stance.
The snowflake conservatives may be more likely to get offended and boycott. It may be that 50 percent didn't care either way, so the trade off becomes 34 versus 16 percent. I suppose from another comment it seems like their poll returned approximately 1/3rd disliked, 1/3rd wanted, and 1/3rd didn't care. So they can probably have their cake and eat it too by waffling a bit on the issue to have both sides buying up their preferred content to "prove" to Disney the right way to go, even if they boycott the current "wrong" mindset, they may want to spend on their favored content to steer things. But those thirds still don't reflect the nuance of how much they like/dislike to know if liking LGBT inclusion is a "good on them, even though I'm not that personally invested" or more "I will not give them a dime if they don't have inclusion".
Of course they may also be concerned about their place in a potential authoritarian state and aligning themselves is a way to avoid being a target. If after all of the doom and gloom turn out to be wrong and progressives come back in a few years, then they just have to have their logo be rainbow colored for a bit and have a few progressive characters and all will be forgiven.
The majority doesn't approve of more LGBT characters either, it's just Newsweek being intentionally misleading.
In summary, 36 percent disapproved in some form, 34 percent approved, while 31 percent neither approved nor disapproved, or didn't know how they felt.
I'd venture the majority of people prefer a good story. When you shoehorn any elements into a story it distracts the audience. The Star Trek Beyond Lt Sulu scene is a good example it did not provide any character or story development. Many of the star wars shows have similar elements which hurt an all ready damaged story.

I hope this means that they have canceled the Snow White movie.
Nah, they just made her whiter and the dwarves a white supremacist survivalist militia.
I mean, my sister killed that movie for me when I was a kid, just like Little Mermaid.
But now that I have a choice, I choose not to watch those movies.
But if you want to change a German folklore story that was written in 1812 with a bunch of stupid ideologies, you can watch it all you want lol
