Disney is threatened with Bud Light-style boycott over hiring gender-fluid influencer Seann Altmanhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12394055/Disney-threatened-Bud-Light-style-boycott-hiring-gender-fluid-influencer-Seann-Altman.html
Social media users have pledged to never give one more cent to Disney after the company partnered with a gender-fluid TikToker to promote girls' clothing - a move that many are comparing to Bud Light's disastrous partnership with Dylan Mulvaney.
Seann Altman, who sometimes dresses up as a woman but uses he/him pronouns, did a sponsored post for the Disney Style TikTok account showing how he put together a Minnie Mouse-inspired look.
'I literally look like Minnie Mouse, and I fit in perfectly with Mickey and his friends,' he said on the video that showed him dressing up. 'The bow, with the dress, and the shoes really sealed the deal. Now I'm fashionable, bold, and fun, just like Minnie Mouse!'

(106,298 posts)Outrage for the sake of outrage is so annoying. Then again, I find the whole phenomenon of paid "influencers" to be rather demeaning to society as a whole. Surely most can think for themselves? I certainly lived my life just fine before the Kardashians hit the scene.

(10,397 posts)But Barbie kinda blew that out of the water with a trans doctor Barbie. So obviously it only applies in their little echo chambers. But Disney doesn't apply like Bud Light did. Bud Light only got into the deep shit they did because the backtracked so fast and left Dylan to herself. They got hate from both sides. Hate for the dumbest reason and hate for the right reason.
Also I'm a trans woman that's a manager of a coffee shop. I wonder if word got out people would stop coming in for coffee lol probably thinking their lattes will turn them gay
