- jakelazaroff 3y agoOf course, but those takes are untethered from reality. We saw the counterfactual play out with The Super Mario Bros. Movie: first it was "woke" and "feminist" because Peach was a "girlboss" rather than a damsel in distress, and then when the movie made a ton of money the same people said it was actually "anti-woke" because they didn't race swap Mario and Luigi. I guarantee that if Lightyear had done well, they'd be talking about how these layoffs happened because Disney is a "woke corporation" that hates white male leads or some other reactionary conservative culture war mad-lib bullshit.
