Disney on thin ice: Suggestions for 'fixing' Disney movies after DeSantis' takeover

From: Floridians Always Seeing Child Indoctrinating Story Themes (FASCIST)

To: Disney’s 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 Disney’s classic movies that comport with the governor’s 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:

See, Clown fish have this interesting trait...

"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.

can change sex. Also the incredibly beautiful saltwater fish Anthias. Some gecko species are all female too.

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.

as alternatives to Florida. Not only should there be a brain drain, as has already been reported, but also a business drain. More businesses than Disney should at least consider leaving Florida.

The Republican Party controls the offices of governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and both chambers of the state legislature.

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.
