Wouldn't be surprised if the Trump administration threatened Disney into ditching it.

It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like
- Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
- Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
- Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
- Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"
So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?
One of my personal favorites:
- Luke 12:46-48:
46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of [d]a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
Jesus sure loved his slaves, huh? Gives you guidelines on how to beat them. Told people to "love your enemies," but clearly people you own don't deserve that courtesy. He hung out with prostitutes, but was never able to disavow the practice of owning other humans as property? Kind of unacceptable imo.
The canonical Bible (the supposed ordained word of god) also include's Paul's further interpretation of Jesus' teachings on slaves in...
- Ephesians 6:5–8:
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
Oof.
Do you think that Christianity became the religion of imperialism out of coincidence?

“Openly” as if Christians aren’t the dominant cultural and political group in the USA
I dont see how this is news there are millions of christians its not insane for one to show up in a disney movie, the trans argument is usually they are like .001% of the population but get more representation than the rest, I think its all stupid either way and the ppl making shit should be allowed to cast whatever fits their vision and not trends
Yeah, "demonstrably" or "obnoxiously" would probably be much more accurate..
a shift in conservative culture
independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character
conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically
I guess Nazis saying "I'll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor" and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.
