That's not entirely true on Disney. Shareholders got rid of Iger for the initial backlash against Disney then brought him back when they realized the backlash to the backlash was worse.

I thought they got rid of Chapek because the DeSantis feud started under his watch and because movies produced under him, like Lightyear and Strange World, didn’t perform very well.

Target was never really an ally, or anyone else who pulled back.  Being an ally is not a comfortable position.  It was all about the money.

On a brighter note, I've never seen any type of pride merch that is stylish so....at least people will be better dressed

End result of corporate being "pretend Ally" of the LGBT. They'll abandon anyone at a drop of a hat... or drop of revenue.

It was both. Iger left to avoid being thrown out - he had a lot of allies and enemies, as did Chapek, but Chapek had more enemies within Disney, even before he started - the allies just happened to be louder.

 

Chapek wasn’t able to balance the warring factions like Iger that wanted different relationships with DeSantis, who was itching for a fight to get through the presidential primary, so some of this comes down to bad timing too.

It's getting bad for us, and we're doing nothing to fight them

It is worse for them to do something then undo it rather than to just not have done it in the first place.
