Well now I can say Disney is woke. They woke up to kiss the ring and bow down to a fucking shit lip.

Given the nature of the show, and the fact it is set in modern day America, it would be stranger if it didn't have a Christian kid in it.
Removing any references to being transgender is pretty shitty though.
Depends where in American, where I'm at it's more unusual to be publicly Christian than publicly non-religious

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.
Shit, I hadn't even considered that US/Russia/China censorship goals align so well.

Any word on whether they're going to start telling good stories?
The Trump administration probably threatened to break up Disney.
Let’s hope so, it’d be a shame if they did this on their own initiative.

That might be true, but also corporations always chase after approval of the White House, regardless of who's in there at the time. It's good for business.

They're complying in advance, one of the worst things to do with fascists.

This headline might as well be from The Babylon Bee.
bohemian rhapsody ... any where the wind blows. now disney is allowed to get back to their antisemitic, racist, anti union, walt disney roots
Bohemian Rhapsody the movie is itself something being altered to make it more palatable. True gay love can only be experienced shortly before one buries their gay, and you could cut that movie so there’d be no discussion of Freddie’s sexuality at all.
Kinda like how even the crumbs of gay Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts are little bits unrelated to the plot that can be sloughed off in any queer unfriendly place it needs to be released. Maybe companies can start teaming up with VidAngel, and we’ll get “Christian” releases of movies too.
