And I didn’t even mention the two new Disney Star Wars projects: The Acolyte and Tales of the Jedi. Both include a transgender character.
Indeed, Dr Who has been reinvented to indoctrinate children with Trans ideology and queer theory…https://t.co/UM6UETjpqt pic.twitter.com/HODWYR2weq

Disney Plus continues to lose money hand over fist, and the executives there and at the BBC decided the solution was add a transgender character to Dr. Who who literally corrects pronouns on the show. pic.twitter.com/Bt2QQN0SoI

RedState reports:
For a brief moment in early 2024, it seemed like Disney might have learned its lesson. The once-admired company saw financial gains under new leadership amid some pointed public statements vowing to focus more on entertainment and less on politics. The slop is solidly trending downhill again, though, and it’s become clear that no actual lessons were learned.
The most recent example comes via the Disney+ investment and partnership with the BBC to stream the umpteenth season of “Dr. Who.” As RedState’s Brad Slager laid out on Friday, former showrunner Russell T. Davies returned for this latest iteration, and he’s decided to make “queerness” a centerpiece.
In response to backlash from fans, Davies told them to get bent, declaring that for every person who tunes out due to the show’s newly found “queerness,” 10 more people would tune in due to the “representation.” Let’s just say that didn’t happen.
There are multiple issues here. One is the fact that Disney decided paying oodles of money to stream this show on its already-failing platform was a good idea. You’d think that after years of controversy and fans telling the company they don’t want this stuff anymore, they’d make a few changes. Instead, Disney+ is pumping this and “The Acolyte,” another girl-boss Star Wars production, out as two of its major premieres this spring.
For context, the character shown above, named “Maestro,” uses “they/them” pronouns and offers corrections on pronoun usage on the show despite being a villain.
The producers spotlighted the Doctor's sexuality, Disney promoted the activist casting, and the lead actor told viewers who opposed the changes to stay away.
That clever marketing led to the worst "Dr. Who" ratings ever. pic.twitter.com/QRXvwW0ADd— Brad Slager – Scrubbing Down In a Bloodbath (@MartiniShark) May 17, 2024
Needless to say, neither American viewers on Disney+ nor those over in Great Britain are happy about this Dr Who.
The BBC can't be taken seriously anymore, surely. The new Dr Who villain….*drum roll*… A DRAG QUEEN!!! I'm actually waiting for the Ofcom complaints to come flooding in if im being honest. No doubt, it's classed as "trans violence" pic.twitter.com/jgtqY8NTZQ

And just like everything else, Disney touches, Dr. Who is DEAD.
I have to wonder if all these trans kids even grew up with the stories or origins of this series on time travel.
It truly started to die when Jodie Whitaker was the first female Dr. Feminism ruins everything. pic.twitter.com/VDcuKO6lUl

Anyone looking forward to the new Disney Star Wars series, The Acolyte?
What was that Iger, you’re not pushing an agenda anymore?
We totally believe you.
THE ACOLYTE has cast Abigail Thorn as Ensign Eurus, making her the first transgender actor to appear in a #StarWars series! Details: https://t.co/175MhzueWK pic.twitter.com/rwRMbt9HSg

Even the new Disney + animated Star Wars show just added a trans character, calling him “them.”
