A fan (or perhaps, more accurately, former fan?) has once again accused Disney of “anti-Whitism” and “destroying Western civilization.”

The Walt Disney Company has come under fire time and again for its supposed “woke” agenda and specifically for “pandering to woke audiences.” In large part, this criticism has come from Disney’s inclusion of LGBTQ+-friendly content on their platforms and in their shows and movies.

Of course, it has also come from the company speaking out about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which made many feel Disney was overly politicizing its messaging. (Here’s the latest on that.)

Ostensible MAGA Supporter Asserts Disney is “Indoctrinating” Children

Now, yet again, another critic online who seems to identify with the MAGA crowd i.e., people who support former President of the United States, Donald Trump, has reasserted many familiar criticisms of the Walt Disney Company.

The X user, Cindy Bin, explained while replying to a post, that Disney was partaking in “anti Whitism” and the “destruction of Western Civilization.”

She wrote, “Disney, for example, is indoctrinating CHILDREN with the “LGBTQ” stuff, which they shouldn’t even know about! All part of antiwhitism, trying to destroy Western civilization and our norms and mores, everything we stand for.

Bin wrote this in response to another X user who called out the MAGA crowd for being “triggered” by “Taylor Swift, Disney,  M&Ms, Books, and Dr. Seuss.”

It’s notable that this isn’t the first time that Disney has been accused of “anti-White” messaging. Last year, with The Proud Family reboot, in particular with the Juneteenth episode, Disney saw a resurgence of critics who felt they were pushing an anti-White agenda.

Alongside this, privileging contemporary African American voices who felt that Song of the South and the ride it inspired, Splash Mountain, had many racist undertones, also didn’t sit well with many fans. Disney ended up removing Song of the South from its online platforms and retheming Splash Mountain to the soon-to-open Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.
