The final nail int he coffin of Disney as a wholesome family friendly source for entertainment is now complete. The Beauty and the Beast remake will feature open male homosexuality and an explicity femanist Belle. Just like there are almost no love songs anymore, heterosexual romance is being removed from movies and TV or at best equated as no more special than homosexuality, masturbating to porn, or whatever else that doesn't involve romance and love between a man and woman. The Disney princesses were one of the last bastions of more traditional positive role models in mainstream entertainment for young women.
The response, of course, if to boycott or simply not watch, not let one's kids watch, etc. But kids need cultural stimuli to develop their imaginations and simply for enjoyment (and even adults do too). So the answer is simply to not let them watch anything, to boycott everything? Clearly many people don't like what is being put out by Big Entertainment, but nobody seems willing to fund a major studio or entertainment company to put out entertainment that reflects wholesome, hetero-romantic, traditional, middle American culture and values. I've expected for years someone to see the obvious market that is not being served and try to fill it. For whatever reason, no one with the funds will do this.
We see how alternative news, commentary, and ideological sites have used new media formats to get around the cabal of mainstream media (Infowars, Brietbart, and countless small video producers have developed substantial followings on the internet without spending vast sums of money.
So why can't it be done for entertainment? Why not start small with a new culturally conservative children's network on Youtube? It could start with puppet shows and animated content and then once its established expand to live action programming and into the teen and adult market. Alternative media has shown you can get around the censorship and control of the establishment using new media formats. Why can't this be done with entertainment as well?
