A Universal Picture

Re-thinking my earlier defenses of Pixar, since you can’t actually be universal without first examining what you consider normal

@SasquatcherGeneral I really do wonder if he actually thinks that, or if it's, as always, a matter of the China market.
In any case treating sexual orientations as dynamite sticks at this point of the XXIst century is so dumb

@maritzac yeah I was trying to emphasize that I’m not making any assumptions about his personal thoughts; I’m not his therapist! 😃 But the messaging is such a drag.

The company has no problem using China as a scapegoat; any time they’re caving to conservatives, they can just shrug and point to the Chinese market. I guess here they had to decide between turning the dial to “racist” or “homophobic” and assumed it was safest to offend the gays.

@SasquatcherGeneral Well, that maybe means they're not caving to conservatives, but rather cathering to them.
@maritzac yeah, or at least to moderates-who-might-as-well-be conservatives. I think at a certain point of money or influence, you realize you’ve got more in common with rich people than with regular people.
