Part 7/12:
Disney exemplifies this duplicity. While it has collaborated with China—tolerating its censorship and human rights abuses—it ruthlessly canceled Gina Carano after her social media comments challenged woke orthodoxy. Her legal victory against Disney and Lucasfilm, which resulted in an out-of-court settlement, marked a rare win against corporate woke politics.
Disney’s inconsistent approach—casting Pedro Pascal after he disparaged American values and censoring Chadwick Boseman for the Chinese market—illustrates the prioritization of profits over principles. Gina Carano’s courage and her legal victory symbolize a breaking point, showing that even giant corporations can be pressured into rethinking their stance.
