This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime.

Rather you like Disney or not Desantis pulling this because of their stance is stupid.

I'm thinking more of when the corporation behaves inconsistently, or goes out of its way to expend resources, in a way likely to please SJWs but that offers no other obvious benefit.

Yeah, just like that. Are you going to change your media consumption in any way as a reaction?

No, because I've already written off Disney over the #DisneyMustPay issue. But I hadn't rejected Disney products before that, largely because they *were* inconsistent. The occasional ridiculous elements were just that - occasional.

No shit sherlock. Disney is Not the Good Guy? Next you'll tell me fairy tales don't come true and unicorns don't exist, you condescending edgelord.
Honestly, if the megacorp bean counters say that acknowledging minorities and catering to their wants and needs is the right move, then that's a win. Yes, they're motivated by greed, but at least it's ONLY greed.
The people who have a problem with the very basic level of acknowledgement Disney puts out are mostly either in their own little media bubble and not consuming Disney products anyway or watching every single entry of Star Wars / MCU / whatever religiously to complain about how "woke" it is every time somebody who isn't a straight white cis man appears or is mentioned on screen. There's nothing to gain by trying to accommodate them when it would alienate everybody else.
Yeah, either they're long gone or they're buying every last piece of merch just to burn it in protest. No fur off the Mouse's ears, either way.
