Part 8/13:
Perhaps most alarming is the recent revelation that Disney executives are reportedly blaming their audience for the box office failures. An anonymous insider claims that Disney’s leadership believes that social messaging in movies—particularly those promoting diversity and social justice—has become conflated with film quality in the minds of viewers. Instead of addressing criticisms about the content itself, Disney executives allegedly attribute poor performance to viewer "bias" or "sexism."
This blame game exemplifies a toxic mindset: executives dismiss consumer feedback and instead accuse audiences of being discriminatory. Such arrogance only further damages Disney’s reputation, as it suggests a disconnect between corporate leadership and its customer base.
