Part 8/10:
The Internal Blame Game and Cultural Decline
Despite mounting evidence of poor results, Disney’s internal culture appears to remain resistant to accountability. Instead of acknowledging their mistakes, some executives continue to point fingers at the audience, claiming that their failures stem from cultural and political biases of viewers. This defensive stance only deepens the crisis, alienating loyal fans and industry critics alike.
The overall sentiment is that Disney’s management has lost its way—overemphasizing ideological messaging at the expense of compelling storytelling, and refusing to accept responsibility for declining quality. This grasp on cultural relevance has waned considerably, leaving the company struggling to maintain its once-commanding position.
