“We keep regressing everytime.”

“Yet no one’s straighter for watching almost exclusively straight television for the last 60 years,” stated one social media user.

“Disney’s transphobia will be remembered,” added another.

“Disney will go wherever the money goes. Rn that’s with more conservative audiences. I’m sure the pendulum will swing again in the future,” exclaimed one more.

“In an effort to seem more “respectful” and “progressive” we’ve actually started regressing as humans.History is repeating itself at faster, alarming rates and we’re just… watching it happen cause what does any of this even matter anymore?” questioned a netizen.

There were a handful who seemed to agree with the entertainment company.

“First time I agree with them,” exclaimed one user on the post.

“It took them a while to figure this one out. It’s alright though. One thing at a time. The world feels like it’s healing,” wrote another.
