This week, WDW Pro discussed how it appears that Disney's ABC channel is desperate to find conservatives to put on its programs. Does this mean Disney now opens itself to the conservative half of the nation? Will we see the "House of Mouse" pack away its ultra-feminist programming and produce middle-of-the-road content--or even right-leaning movies and shows?
Not likely. The pattern of left-leaning corporations doubling down to the point of organizational destruction is well known to everyone by now. The blatant rage of Leftist celebrities--so open and exposed this post-election season--betrays a self-unawareness on the part of a Hollywood that can't trouble itself to learn about America beyond California's borders. And this contempt of the American everyman is institutional.
"One reliable sign of corporate convergence is a stubborn refusal to listen to very clear messages being sent by the corporation's customer base. Convergence exchanges the traditional business principle that the customer is always right for the social justice principle that the unhappy customer is always racist, sexist, and outdated, which means his complaints should be ignored."

It is true that Disney's fake Snow White, Rachel Zegler, has been upbraided behind closed doors and forced to apologize for berating Trump voters--all of whom comprise more than half the population. But it is also true that Disney's Marvel will continue to proceed with a female Silver Surfer--this in spite of their desperate need for a successful Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
And, of course, this goes beyond Disney. The new Dune series on HBO is, as usual, peppered with soft porn and continues Hollywood's ongoing obsession with witchcraft. Amazon's studios carry on with the ruination of The Lord of the Rings. The Warhammer movie project continues to be ruined. The Minecraft movie looks ridiculous. Doctor Who is more ignorable than ever before. And while Alex Kurtzman is rumored to be leaving Star Trek, there are still big doubts that Skydance--Paramount's new overlords--has any inclination to repair the damaged brand.
Mainstream success is an illusion for normal content creators. Anyone who is not left-of-center must continue to propagate and survive amidst local and like-minded communities. The subscription model is the best and primary way to establish a following and the successful development of created content. Just as we in recent years have popularized the indie pulp of decades previous, the same may happen for our cloistered creators of today.
