Man, I can't belive I'm rooting for the giant corporation here. Crazy world.
Sometimes the boot of capitalism treads on fascists, and that my friends is an interesting time.
You are looking at it differently than I am.
I have zero problems with regulating corporations. I just want those regulations to be for the public good. Yes you will pay your workers properly, no you can't dump toxic sludge in our water. What Meatball did was attempt to regulate them for his good, not the public. He wanted to enforce his vision. I would be just as upset if he had tried to force them to say include more diversity in their movies. Yes I personally would like Disney to do this, but my personal whims should not have the power of law.
You aren't really siding with Disney, you are siding against agenda driven regulations. And if that doesn't make you feel better just remember the ACLU defended Nazis right to freedom of speech.
Well when you basically have your ass saved in the 80's by the Lavenderest of musical writers who make the new foundation of your brand narratives of acceptance and love for the outsider with your flagship renaissance peice being a retelling of a Gay man's obvious pining for acceptance of a forbidden romance and then use that formula for practically every hit princess movie to follow... You are just a tad beholden?
