It “ain’t” just our schools turning your kids into future dysfunctional liberals!:

Disney’s Business Model is Turning Kids Into Dysfunctional Adults. Its customer base isn’t kids. It’s messed up adults.*

Which is scary, this has also been the business model/target/base of the Democratic Party for a couple of decades via their owned and controlled mass media across the board from movies, tv shows, fake news and so called music.

There is an explanation for Disney’s war on children: It turns out that, nowadays, children aren’t really a profit center for Disney!

Very often, when companies go woke, it turns out that the wokeness is a cover for changing market forces. That is, they’re not alienating traditional demographics; they’re reflecting that their money is coming from new demographics. When it comes to Hollywood and the NBA, for example, the big bucks are coming from China, not America. When it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn’t children; it’s young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up.

The brilliant Daniel Greenfield makes this point in an article entitled “Disney’s Business Model is Turning Kids into Dysfunctional Adults: Its customer base isn’t kids. It’s messed up adults.” Greenfield, as always, has done the research, and, in the case of Disney, he points to the fact that Disney’s most fanatic consumers are in the over 18 demographic:

Disney isn’t for kids anymore. Its movie business is dominated by Marvel blockbusters. Half of Disney+ subscribers, its big bet on the home streaming future, are adults with no children.

What about the theme parks?

60% of Disneyland visitors were adults with no children. Only 36.7% of Disney World visitors had children under 18.

The largest demographic for the theme parks, like the movies, are millennials. They are also members of the fandoms who are likeliest to spend money on licensed merchandise, and on toys and movie tie-ins that are Disney’s bread and butter.

And Disney is rapidly adapting with theme parks and resorts that emphasize its Marvel and Star Wars properties more than classic fare. Its Galactic Starcruiser hotel, aimed at Star Wars fans, costs $4,809 for two adults. Why bother with kid stuff when you can sell $13 beers?

“When it comes to Disney, the main profit center isn’t children; it’s young adults who, Peter Pan–like, refuse to grow up”.

When I worked in an art related business all the people working there, in their late teens to 20s, prided themselves on being into cartoons, animation and the like. I found it kind of sickening, thinking how no of them were ‘grown up.

Halloween everyone came to work in all sorts of costumes from the movies. Behaved as if they WERE the character, Star Wars, Marvel comic figures, stuff like that. sickening.Almost all of them were single with no kids.

It occurred to me, after watching Secrets of Playboy, and finding out Hugh Hefner drank a lot of Pepsi’s per day and some kind of candy, overindulged himself with women. Seemed really like an adult Peter Pan to me.
