Part 5/8:
This internal data starkly contrasts with the public narrative pushed by Disney and Lucasfilm. The company champions diversity, inclusion, and representation, yet their own employment statistics suggest a different story. There's a clear pattern of virtue signaling—expressing support for marginalized groups in public while failing to uphold these commitments internally.
Moreover, Disney’s hypocrisy extends beyond gender issues. The company publicly advocates for racial and LGBTQ+ representation but often censors or manipulates content to appease overseas markets. For instance, they have edited or cut LGBTQ+ scenes, such as the gay kiss in Rise of Skywalker, to ensure global release — revealing that their commitment to representation is sometimes more about business than genuine advocacy.
