Part 5/10:
Some Disney insiders suggest that the company perceives its core audience as increasingly resistant due to supposed political correctness or ideological differences, particularly regarding gender and diversity messaging. The company's representatives allegedly admit that they think audiences associate certain messages—like female empowerment or progressive narratives—with lower quality, rather than engaging with the story itself.
A leaked comment from a Disney executive highlighted how some of their own team believe that "bad movies" are a result of audience intolerance rather than flaws in storytelling or production quality. This rationalization further shifts blame away from the company's creative failures and onto their perceived political biases.
