As a company, they’ve always been incredibly conservative, so for maybe the last decade or so, they’ve tried to fix it by creating characters that are an absurd progressive stereotype as a stupid by product of a committee with no connection to what they wanted to stand for, so they didn’t lose their reputation as conservatives among progressives, they pissed off conservatives by adapting to the woke agenda and along the way making some absolutely infamous products, yes Star Wars I’m looking at you
I would put Disney’s “progressive” characters as also being portrayed conservatively.
Disney has been making Sidney Poitier like characters because they were doing their toes into making more progressive characters while other media companies have been doing deeper dives for years.
Of course, conservatives & bigots complained because if Disney is willing to do this, then it means near universal acceptance.
