Okay, but you're grossly missing the point. There was and will always be an agenda. Being upset that it isn't your agenda and presenting this opinion under the guise of wanting it depoliticized is at best ignorant and misinformed, at worst dishonest, and regardless attempts to reinforce and legitimize hate for those who do not conform to historical norms.
I'd propose that your argument about the "woke agenda" failing Disney's pocket book is in itself a cherry picked argument which ignores the massive technological and cultural shifts in the way we consume and monitize media. But it doesn't matter, because that has nothing to do with what we're talking about. Disney has always sold a lifestyle and pandered to an agenda. There is a reason Disneyland was such a prominent point of Baudrillard's work; Disney's ability to conjure and sell an imaginative reality has been historically unparalleled. Now that it's selling a fantasy that makes the privledged uncomfortable, ignorant, invalid commentary, such as your original comment, shows up perpetuating false premisis' about media suddenly pushing an agenda, as though this is new. It is not.
You can choose to try and understand that, you can dig in and veil your choice of ignorance and hate, or you can simply accept that you won't understand everything and bow out. Just don't be surprised when you face the consequences of your choices.
