Today, I saw a lot of headlines about the latest Disney Pixar movie called Lightyear <\/em>not meeting box office expectations. The three mainstream media articles I read did not mention the politically incorrect reason the animation did not meet expectations. But two sources outside the mainstream did. Here are some comments from one of them, the non-mainstream Western Journal<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Disney’s Woke ‘Lightyear’ Tanks at US Box Office, But Mainstream Media Can’t Seem to Figure Out Why<\/h2>\n

June 20, 2022<\/p>\n

When Disney\u2019s woke \u201cToy Story\u201d spinoff\/prequel \u201cLightyear\u201d arrived in theaters Friday, it came trailing plenty of woke controversy in its wake.<\/p>\n

The company made a big deal about reinserting a wholly extraneous scene<\/a> featuring a lesbian kiss in the film as a rejoinder to Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 Parental Rights in Education bill \u2014 you know, what progressives call the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill (that has nothing to do with saying \u201cgay\u201d).<\/p>\n

Fourteen foreign markets had already banned the picture and it seems unlikely the largest foreign market for U.S. films, China, will allow it to be released there without edits. (According to Vice<\/a>, Disney has refused.)<\/p>\n

Actor Chris Evans, now voicing main character Buzz Lightyear, has called parents<\/a> who objected to having someone else\u2019s sexual morality shoved into their child\u2019s face \u201cidiots\u201d and \u201cdinosaurs.\u201d Producer Galyn Susman compared the scene to \u201cshowing failed relationships\u201d on screen, implying parents who got upset over one and not the other were automatically bigoted.<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Wire<\/a>, \u201cLightyear\u201d brought in $51 million in its first weekend at the U.S. box office. While that was enough for second spot, it was nowhere near what analysts had predicted. According to CNBC<\/a>, the movie was expected to take in $70 million to $85 million domestically.<\/p>\n

So what did the mainstream media say was responsible for the movie\u2019s poor performance? Literally\u00a0anything<\/em> but controversy surrounding the lesbian kiss. https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disneys-woke-lightyear-tanks-us-box-office-mainstream-media-cant-seem-figure\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The mainstream sources I read today mainly said the reasons for lower revenues were that parents were confused that this was not about the Toy Story<\/em> movies, some found the plot confusing, and families are not really going back to movie theaters much. NONE of the mainstream media articles I read today even mentioned the Lesbian kiss or that it could be an issue for parents.<\/p>\n

Notice a report from another non-mainstream source:<\/p>\n

\n

Lightyear,<\/em> the latest piece of child grooming media from the woke predators at the Walt Disney Co., is looking like a box office catastrophe, which is only a surprise to those who don\u2019t live in the real world.<\/h2>\n

I cannot say this strongly enough<\/strong>, if you are a Christian parent of a young child, do not under any<\/em> circumstances take them to see \u2018Lightyear\u2019, the latest offering from woke Disney Pixar. It\u2019s not so much because of the same-sex lesbian kiss that have included for your young child\u2019s entertainment, it is because Disney has become a predatory organization bent on corrupting the mind of your child. Don\u2019t watch this movie, don\u2019t go to Disney World or Disneyland, unless of course you support the grooming of your children.<\/p>\n

If Christian parents<\/strong> cannot stand up and make these woke companies take notice that the grooming of our kids will not be tolerated, then why do you call yourselves Christians? We are called to be a witness of Jesus Christ, we are called to be \u2018salt and light\u2019 in an unsavory and dark world, and if we cannot do that, then maybe the fault lies with us and not with Disney. Since NTEB started in 2009, the percent of people in America who identify as LGBTQIA+<\/a><\/strong> has grown from 2.3<\/a>% to 7.1<\/a>%. Why is that?<\/em> Because the major corporations have allied themselves with the LGBTQIA+, along with our public school system, and they are recruiting your<\/em> kids. 06\/18\/22 https:\/\/www.nowtheendbegins.com\/woke-disney-pixar-movie-lightyear-is-box-office-flop-same-sex-kiss-child-grooming-predators\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
