Disney on thin ice: Suggestions for 'fixing' Disney movies after DeSantis' takeover
From: Floridians Always Seeing Child Indoctrinating Story Themes (FASCIST)
To: Disneys new oversight board
Subject: Suggestions for rewriting Disney movies
First of all, we here at FASCIST congratulate you on your appointments. And we look forward to some of your individual efforts to determine whether tap water makes people gay.
As you engage in your important work to re-educate Disney executives and coerce them to provide what the governor has called entertainment that all families can appreciate, we here at FASCIST have a suggestion.
Start by forcing the company to produce new versions of Disneys classic movies that comport with the governors vision. You can call them freedom versions of the movies. Or better yet, figure out a way to use the word liberty in mandating the rewrites.
To get you started, here are our rewrite suggestions for four Disney movies:

"All clownfish are born males. A clownfish group consists of a dominant male and female and 0-4 juvenile males. So where did the female come from in the group? When the female dies, the dominant male changes sex to become the dominant female and one of the juveniles becomes the dominant male."
... & Pixar somehow set the conditions perfectly. It's not something that can happen; it is something that does happen.

(22,124 posts)the state, the literally 10s of thousands of jobs, we're in the middle of the Country, and we already have tons of attractions in the state such as Silver Dollar City, etc. that tourists and locals can enjoy. Unfortunately, we do have a republican governor, but I'd think he would change his tune if such a huge employer such as Disney comes knocking at the door, after all, Walt Disney was born in MO. It would be kind of like a homecoming.

Abortion is completely banned in Missouri.
Anti-race-discrimination education, child labor and anti-LGBTQ bills are passing through Senate committees seemingly with ease (ie 2:1 ratio votes) this session?

Feels enough like Florida that I think many people would still avoid visiting the state.
