Drinker's Chasers - Disney's Ridiculous "Inclusion" Standards Revealed

- Recent diversity and inclusion documents leaked onto social media reveal the scale of discrimination happening in Hollywood right now, all in the name of "inclusion", and go some way to explain why the quality of their output has plummeted.
- Zábava
"Inclusion" actually means "exclusion of whites, heterosexuals, and males," and especially "exclusion of white heterosexual males."
What's funny is these same people will be hating white males for checking out of society after they were inundated with messages that they were unwanted.
They're now only useful as castrati and villains.
Provide some examples of white heterosexual males being excluded.
exclusion of normal and healthy
Pop culture is catching up to what french and jewish postmodernists were doing in Universities decades ago: destroy Greek art, Christian faith, and Roman law.
Doesn't this mean all the raceswapping wasn't happening because the actors were the best people for the role? 🤨 It really was just to fulfill a quota.
Sort of. Why the quota against whites and men and heterosexuals? That's the "because".
Art is of zero worth. Even money means nothing to them. If their bankers, ESG investors, or the government doesn't bail them out, that's fine too. If nothing else, they sunk the big evil capitalist company. They win no matter what. You think they crashed Sports Illustrated on accident?
Always has been for the Progressives
Much Ado About Nothing, 1993 - Denzel Washington as Don Pedro. Nobody cared because he pulled it off.
@@steveouk90126 at the end of the day, was it a good actor? No? Why were they hired then? Yes? Good, skin pigment and psychological "setting" doesn't matter. Its like the following scenario: "OMG the new hire crashed a plane and all the passengers died! On no! What happened! Well he's never flown a plane, but was a black homosexual man. Oh ok acceptable"
@@RambleOn07 Please don't use the term "Progressives" for this. I am progressive, and I hate all this race-swapping bullshit. I agree that you shouldn't be kept out of participation in anything just because of your race, gender etc -- but that's different from saying that your race/gender/sexuality is a free pass. No. It should be based on merit and suitability. If we need a big muscly man for something, we don't hire a one legged woman for it, period.
"if you start to police art.."
That right there is the statement.
It's no longer art. It's propaganda.
Most modern art has been propaganda for decades. Plenty of unintelligent people think something isn't art unless it offends someone.
I was just telling my kids last night. The first thing dictators do is censor artists. And it's always for the greater good.
@@nicholasvinenyou're the one who sounds unintelligent if you think that it isn't art unless it pleases everyone, especially the egotistical folks with no sense of humor.
This is exactly on the money.
No different to soviet government-controlled paintings and music, everything MUST support the politics of the state.

Martin Luther King asked that people be judged on the content of their character, not the colour of their skin. And nowDisney are hiring based on the colour of someone's skin, not the content of their character. People should be judged on merit, not a tick box.
Maybe the twist is we WERE judging them by the content of their character the entire time.
A lot of people would really hate to be judged by the content of their character...

@@RandallStevenson Its funny but a while back i saw that conversation online somewhere, probably twitter where they were tearing that mans legacy down.

Seeing a diverse group of background characters is actually really distracting now
I'm waiting for the Nazis to be half black lesbians and half Mexican lesbians.
Especially in historical settings they would not realistically be in.
It's like the universe teleports people into whatever shot is going on at the time. You're jerking off and suddenly you're transported as a BG character in an MCU shot because they needed your skin color.
I like to watch the 1985 recording of Queen at live aid, because the performance is phenomenal. In this video, there are plenty of wide and tight shots of the crowd. I may have missed some, because I wasn't looking for it specifically, but I don't recall seeing a single non-white person in the crowd shots. This was a concert in London in 1985 that primarily featured acts more associated with white fans, so this is the natural result (if the same concert was held today, I assume the crowd would look different). I saw a link for the version made for the film Bohemian Rhapsody, and every crowd shot had multiple minorities in it. We're not talking about a historic event, or even something that was recorded historically in the near past, but which no footage exists. This is an event where you can watch the actual thing on youtube easily. It was very distracting because you could watch the original video back to back with the remake, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.
It's like youre teleported into scenes based on your race. It's not a reflection of real life at all.
Dear Disney and Hollywood, our family has found entertainment elsewhere, goodbye and good luck.

That's exactly what it is: racism with extra steps.
At this point I think Disney is trying to lose money...Have you seen the latest info on the Pirates of the Caribbean remake? You'll never guess who they are using to replace Jack 🙄
If 50% of actors/characters/etc must come from underrepresented groups, wouldn't that make those groups overrepresented?
Massively.
Stop trying to make it make sense.
The logic doesn't matter. Everything is after-the-fact justification for their agenda: take over the company with their group, raid the treasury, and infect their next target.

I have tried to get funding in Europe for a feature I wrote. The gov grants organizations all use this type of bs metric. I was always asked if I could rewrite my story to be about immigrants (because I'm an immigrant and that seems to be my only defining feature according to these idiots). Basically what Disney decided to do is handle the filmmaking process like government would. I foresee the same results. Decided to start a channel and build an audience instead. Most of the mainstream pipelines to get projects off the ground are ideologically captured.
How much is your soul worth?
@@furtim1 much more than that bit of tax payer money they offered lol but I'm to honest to play the woke game anyway. I spend so much time honing my writing skills, I'm not willing to reduce myself to a checklist.
Sadly that what they see in you, you're not more than an unlucky NPC with low stats that they need to educate and help since they're the main character, which it's sad because they're literally praying on immigrants and minorities to push their woke shit.
How did they manage to infiltrate every company, government and grant agency in the western world?
On the one hand I fully respect your no compromises position. On the other, taking them for all they're worth and getting your name out there by writing a different story that conforms to their demands might not be the worst idea. Not criticizing, just saying I might not be as steadfast as you LOL.
are there 50% of underrepresented groups within the shareholders?
I would imagine that over 50% of the shareholders probably come from the same tribe.
@@bossbattlebonanza1511a tribe famous for funny hats.
Well you see a certain chosen group can do a magic trick where they claim to be white while criticizing white people, then retreat into their actual minority victim identity when criticized.
oy vey, antisemite
That's actually a bloody good point. I never thought of that. Do they make sure their shareholders are woke and diverse enough? I would guess not!
This diversity quota nonesense would have no bearing on reality anywhere outside of some big cities or the coasts. The world isnt a college brochure.
Yep, and the poor BO results reflect that huge disparity.
What Mauler said about Sweet Baby eventually going down hit the nail on the head. They still killed games, and when the company dies the people on staff will just go elsewhere. The idea doesn't die because the company does. The people are still there, they still believe the same BS, and you have to be aware of them because they will kill more games. What I'm saying is follow people, not companies.
Apart from some exceptions western game dev is dead, we will be soon having first AAAA game Skull and Bones for 70 buckaroos (it's shit) 😂

These requirements are exactly why there's been no course corrections by Disney.
Those requirements were written by Disney. If they wanted to course correct, all they would need to do is change the requirements. Nothing is hurting Disney except Disney.
The people who are "represented" by these DEI rules now run Disney, why would they undo their own agenda and hurt themselves?@@wavion2
@@calvinhobbes6118 They wouldn't. That's the whole point.
The problem isn't that companies like Sweet Baby Inc. exist.
The problem is they get hired.
they exist because they get their "educatuion" in colleges. The source and origin of the mind virus.
When they cast Percy Jackson, I made a comment somewhere that Annabeth was cast with a black actress because they were only allowed one white person and I was blocked from whatever it was.
it also bothered me, the changes of the races of the gods they are supposed to be brothers and sisters but lin manuel miranda played hermes and lance reddick played zeuz honnestly wtf what is the dynamic of the gods within themselves are they still family and if not why have they been given those powers it changes eeeeeveeeryyything.
damn, and they were like "Cut the gay scene! We might lose precious pennies from Russia & China!" according to alex hirsch, seems like they have heavily shifting standards, ay? (oh and also you CANNOT with any kind of brain convince me that a gay kiss scene is more disturbing for children than bill cipher saying "I've got some children I need to make into corpses", or that one scene with Marcy)
I'm glad drinker said "stopping is not enough". About a year or so back he had released a video claiming he was afraid of us "going too far in the opposite direction". It's like, "dude". Let's stop the progression first then get it back to where it was before you start fear mongering about going too far the other direction. We are nowhere close to even returning to the 90's on how entertainment was being handled.
It's not enough to just vote with your wallet. You need to make it a cultural backlash that makes these companies afraid to jump on ship with the woke nonsense. You need to write an email/letter to the company telling them that you're done becuase of it. They need to see a direct consequence and they need to hear it. Else they will just ignore it and pretend their failure is due to something unrelated.
I think it's perfectly fine to get suspicious of guys like Drinker.
My problem is that their “inclusion “ isn’t actual inclusion. All the ppl they hired under this guise are grossly incompetent and unfit for their job. Even when I boil it down to 50 percent actors thing. As a black person their is definitely a racist history in Hollywood, however, their is a proper and/ir easy way of mending those grievances. Like drinker said the Roman Empire wasn’t filled with African Americans 🤷🏽♂️, wouldn’t make sense tbh (of course there can be some- historically there were even Asian traders present in the Roman Empire). But the whole point is to execute a touchy subject properly, unfortunately Disney is full of pandering idiots.
well if more of the subs of these channels also made content breaking all this down in short videos and sharing it we'd be able to get more ppl to wake up to what is happening
I think the plan is very insidious. ITs subconsciously getting people to get pissed off and triggered when they see these poorly written diverse characters.
Eventually any time a minority appears we’ll have our spider senses heightened for his they’ll be portrayed.
Im also black and me and most my family cant stand when they put a new black character in a role because they either make them lgbt or if its a girl they make her a narcissistic, smug, know it all. We also notice how even though theres more diverse movies theres less strong black men in them which is not accidental if you are so adamant about representation.
The people who still run Hollywood and media are still mostly white so there aint know way theyre doing this without some sort of agenda in place. I think theyre mainly trying to polarize their viewers as well as brainwash future demographics.
It satisfies me knowing that there are many people like the people at Open Bar that despise the woke ideology going on that's killing art and creativity as much as we the audience.
Can you imagine if they try to re-make Schindler‘s List under this guideline. 😂
I laughed harder than I should have on that comment. 😂
I applied to a job and it asked me my gender identity, my sexual preference, race and gender. Like how does any of that matter? I literally cancelled the application when I saw that crap
2023 was a good example of voting with your wallet. A billion dollar loss for Disney. Good luck doing that doing that year after year. Especially with stock holders.
Inclusion doesn't must mean hiring minorities, it means hiring woke minorities. If someone isn't speaking from an "authentic black voice" for example, that candidate will not be hired. Organizations that allow woke marxists in can expect said marxists to do what marxists do, agitate for revolution. No concessions made to marxists in an organization will ever considered to be "enough", and are instead seen as an exploitable weakness to turn the institution more woke. Disney is clearly in the end stage of a marxist entryism campaign in these last few years.
These people are anithing but marxists, these are monkeys that dances as the people in power dictates.
Must be great being a black person with a story to tell, only being told it isn't good enough because of some arbitrary metrics.
It's not Marxist arrrgghh! Marx would criticize this shit as the elite distraction from the destruction of the American middle and working classes that it is...
Marxism is explicitly against wokeness.
Don't just follow narratives. It makes look as foolish as the woke crowd.
They are not Marxist.
Marx never advocated identity politics and racial segregation.

I had a conversation when I was in college which the gist of it was I got everything I had in life because I was a white, straight, male. They never asked what I did for work but the implied comments were that it must be some easy high level job I did when not taking classes. When I told them that I was working as a janitor the tone shifted to now be "well you-know-what we mean". I obviously cut someone else out of a solid job with great benefits. When I brought up the fact that the town I worked in was affluent and anyone who took my job would be lowering their average pay... then I was an ahole and they went after other people. I'm pushing a broom to feed my family and pay for training to improve my life, I was the only person who out in for my job. These people are so out of touch with reality its painful.
"Start to police art." Well, the issue here is that you're starting this whole thought experiment from a flawed premise. They don't view it as art, and it's not actually art nowadays, is it? It's a product.

Haven't we known this forever? When you watch a Disney movie, and the Dad is black and the Mom is white and the brother is Chinese and the protagonist is hispanic, and you turn it off in disgust because you know you are going to get a woke lecture somewhere - NO decent story - or worse, watch history or some famous book get trashed - then you hear Disney is losing billions - and you think, "Gee, I've been IGNORING Disney because of their wokeness for YEARS, I wondered when everyone else was going to start feeling like I did YEARS ago...."
I really hope people in these circles are starting to realize that we are not just dealing with cynical people in it for the money. These are true believers all the way down and if you are not prepared to do what is necessary to remove them it will never get fixed

If only this benefited the most underrepresented group in Hollywood, straight traditional white Christian Americans.

I was watching an endymion vid and he brought up a conference called womanize that has high level people from several companies and franchises attend it. Their website explains that their goal is to take over male dominated spaces like games and movies and shift the focus away toward women, trans, non-binary. Some of the writers at rocksteady attend this event and one of them gave a speech there, so that may be part of the reason why their game turned put the way it did
here's the thing, though: if this came down to a legal battle that didn't take place in a kangaroo court, it would be easy to argue that if the requirement is you have to have at least 50% of 'underrepresented groups,' a percentage that vastly doesn't represent the group's population, then they are then very *over*-represented. and, as far as representation goes, where does that stop? because i don't see a lot of overtly conservative representation happening, and when it's even hinted at it's portrayed as evil.
besides it having no moral or ethical merit, i can't see how it would have any legal standing if challenged.
Unfortunately I see this actually going to court being about as likely as all the anti-BDS laws being challenged.

I just saw a couple of trailers for two new British historical comedy films/series - one about Dick Turpin with Noel Fielding and another with Nick Frost seemingly set in a medieval/dark ages Britain. Apparently both time periods were more diverse and multicultural than the present day. Now, I get that they’re comedies (although I didn’t even smile at any of the ‘jokes’), but in the past, say with Maid Marian and her Merry Men, the fact that there was a Rastafarian character was clearly a joke. Kids instinctively got that. Now, they’re trying to rewrite history as they wish it had been and a whole generation will grow up with these kinds of lies as their vision of the past. It’s propaganda; it’s brainwashing under the guise of being ‘kind’ and ‘inclusive’. I find it deeply disturbing and I don’t see anyone in the entertainment industry brave enough to stop it.
It would be interesting to see a judge look at all this and say, "Why is this project over 50% represented by a group that is only 1% of the general audience?"

I am so sorry you had such a disgusting experience when trying to apply for a government job in your province. Unfortunately, I am not at all surprised. In fact, if you're a white male in Canada, you're treated as a non-person who is not worth the air you breathe. You and I know that the box on that government application is against Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If I were you, I would highlight that specific portion of the application form and e-mail it to your MP, with a clear reminder of its infringement on Section 15 of the Charter itself. Make noise! Make sure your voice is heard! Stop taking this garbage lying down! If you don't say anything, you and others like you will continue to be excluded -- until they disappear altogether. Canadians are great people who have stayed quiet and polite for much too long.
I'm still blown away that no one doing this (or being rewarded by this) sees how absolutely insulting it is to be selected for a job solely because of one's appearance. If I ever learned I was selected for something because I am a woman and NOT because I was the best candidate, I would feel so deflated and disgusted.

Sadly one of the worst downsides of this behaviour is that Disney is single handedly bringing back racial and sexual discrimination back 50 years. They're literally proving to audience that gay or racial groups are incompetent, annoying, spoiled and obnoxious.
Judging by your intent, I believe instead of "literally proving", you would rather say something like "portraying" or "depicting".

I don't think that is a sustainable business model. Investor money will dry up when they realise the company is circling the drain.
@@nicholasvinen Well, large institutional investors have Inclusivity Guidelines and if a company doesn't comply they divest. Very roughly, Disney is 15%/20% owned by a couple large institutional investors (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street and some others). This alone doesn't explain the abandonment of tried and true busines practices like audience segmentation. A lot of their products lately seem completely mistargeted. I'd think that there is so much wrestling for future power among different management levels, that the current performance is not a concern right now.
I'm an actor and was literally told by talent agents.."We love your look, but this industry is trendy and your type is not in right now"...I'm not even white...I' have French/Colombian parents....I speak multiple languages, have family across 3 continents...And yet I've been told, im just a "white" guy....Like I have more culture in my pinky finger than some of these people have in their entire body.....To disregard all my cultural heritage and call me "white" is so disrespectful... These people are out of there minds...Even labeling people like me "Latinx"...its like, instead of being Colombian, French, Cuba, Mexican, I'm just "Latinx"...That's wokeness for you, disregard EVERYTHING and only look at the color of there skin..
They don't care about you _as a person_ . They care about how brown you _look_ . It's all for the (superficial) optics.
What does culture has to do with any of it? According to the biology textbooks I was schooled by, when humans left sub Saharan Africa and settled in different places with different environments, through natural selection they evolved to have different physical traits, most prominent of which is skin color. It has nothing to do with culture, it's pure biology. If you take a black baby and raise them in Finland, what, will their skin get white? Claiming race has anything to do with culture is the epitome of racism, it's exactly the same as saying "black people are not those with black skin, it's those who do drugs and rap". No, black skin is race, doing drugs and rap is culture, and saying they're one and the same is the most racist thing you can say.
Also by your logic where "race = culture" do you mean a black guy is a good pick to play Napoleon as long as he was born and raised in France? This is exactly what those Netflix guys would say to excuse such casting.
@@HanakoSeishin you missed my point …Throwing around these “blanket” terms black, white, LatinX which was purely invented by white academic people is bullshit ….forget a person’s history , everything boils down to the color of one’s skin…it’s soo hollow…a Caribbean black person is way different that an African black person…You want to disregard all that nuance and just slap a “black” label on it …
@@HanakoSeishin and second of all, I don’t know what race you are…I didn’t say anything about rap or drugs …But you sorely lack how rich black culture is…Balck culture is America…Blues, rock and roll, Jazz, ALL invented an pioneered by black people…Black culture is more than just “rap” and “drugs..Have no idea where that point came from ..you seem to be grasping for some racist thinking..
@@AlainNavasDrama No, it's you who try to boil everything down to one category when you say race and culture is the same category, I say exactly the opposite: race and culture are separate categories and it doesn't just boil down to "black = likes rap". A redhead Irish person is culturally different from a redhead Scandinavian person, but that has nothing to do with them both being redheads. They're two perpendicular categories, you can be Irish and redhead, Irish and not redhead, Scandinavian and redhead, or Scandinavian and not redhead. But when they say "we need a redhead actor to play this character and your hair is brown" you can't go on rant how they blanketed all redheads together and an Irish redhead is different from Scandinavian redhead, and they're ignoring your redhead-cultured heritage because you grew up in Ireland among redheads. It's Irish culture, not freaking redhead culture, what would that even mean? And the same way there's no such a thing as "black culture" which heritage they ignore by calling you white. They call you white because that's the color they perceive your skin to be, and its not their job to care which country your parents came from as that has no effect on your fitness for the role, but your appearance does.
Imagine a dialogue like this:
A: This German guy I know is super tall.
B: How super tall are we talking about? I know an Italian guy who's 1m95cm, is that German friend of yours the same?
A: No, he's not the same at all, he likes sausages and doesn't like pizza!
B:: I didn't ask about his food preferences, I asked about his height.
A: Wow you racist, you want to boil everything down to a blanket term like tall or small, totally ignoring how a German tall person is way different from an Italian tall person.
This is absurd. When you start to talk about culture when the question was about race, you're doing the same as this "A" guy who starts talking about food when the question was about height.
Saying race is only biology equals to "black or white only describes the color of your skin, and has nothing to do with what you do with your life, a black person can be a gangster and a white person can be a gagster, a black person can be a scientist and a white person can be a scientist, it's not connected in any way".
Saying on the contrary that race is culture equals to "wtf black scientist, there can be no such thing, he betrayed black culture, he's Oreo, only looks black but white inside".
It's weird to think that the idea of workers being skilled at the job has become the least important factor of hiring now.
We’re gonna be living in that film Equilibrium w/ Christian Bale 😮💨
Sweet Baby Inc. is the canary in the mineshaft, the red flag. They're not the reason the video game stories are bad, but the fact that they were hired points to a way of thinking at the studio that leads to stories with a lot of progressive messaging. Still, if you play a video game and it seems like they've made the evil characters good and the good characters evil, Sweet Baby, Inc. was probably involved.
"Underrepresented groups" is so ambiguous it could mean anything. Where are all the bald leading men? Now Bruce Willis has retired they're grossly underrepresented! You can't arbitrarily categorise people. We're all unique individuals with unique backgrounds and experiences.
Uh, guys, you're not aware, but all of East Asia is written off as "White" in DEI policies. This is really awful for them, as they get it on both sides. They get targeted by the violent racists on the street. (You have to dig into the stats, there's a huge problem of both young and elderly people of East Asian ethnicity targeted for violent assaults in New York CIty, San Fricisco, etc, Lots of grisly murders, grandparents getting their heads bashed in, pushed in front of subway trains, etc) Then they get targeted by the white collar racists by being told they're too white and privileged in corporate offices.
Attacked and robbed by those who are predisposed to acts of savagery at the drop of hat.
And representation does what good, now?
Here in America it’s illegal to consider someone’s race when hiring or promoting someone. That’s a violation of title VII of the Equal Rights Act ad well as the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause.
There's a reason discrimination laws are being changed - this kind of culture of failure will be strangled by competition in the long run without a crooked referee making calls.
The big problem with the gaming industry is that people are so hellbent on having the latest that they will buy games long before they release, let alone asking any questions about quality. It's all about staying current and looking at the pretty pictures.
This story ends with "He loved Big Brother".
💯💯💯.
“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a Human face forever.”
Bear in mind that 50% is the MINIMUM, and everyone is so scared of being on "the wrong side of history" that they almost all decide to go in a very particular direction when casting.
So an already skewed figure of 50% becomes 80, 90% just because of groupthink among people with lucrative jobs who are afraid of losing their income and access.
It's either by design, or promoted by people with absolutely zero insight into human nature, who also have absolutely no clue as to the consequences of what they're doing.
As a white-hetero-male who lost his job to these DEI “standards” I want to thank @criticaldrinker and the panel for having these discussions. DEI is ruining lives and meritocracy.
One of the biggest reasons why modern games fail is because of the live service mentality, and this suicide squad game is another victim of the live service trash, because you need to not only have a really good game but you need to hit your stride with plenty of content to keep people coming back for months until your next content drop. But how they are managed leads to people being burned out really quickly with a mediocre buggy game that’s permanently online and tbh that’s how they constantly shoot themselves in the foot and cripple the perception of the game and its quality.
This is precisely why I listen to reviews and don't turn up and pay for these things on day 1, if they contain political garbage.
I love how DEI doesn’t apply to the CEO position.. 🙄
It only goes one way. If you make a movie set in historical Africa for example, and you included white characters these same people would have a fit.
Can we have a bingo card for upcoming Disney content so we can win prizes from 5 in a row DIE checkboxes? We can call the game DIEGO.
Should hire Sweet Baby Inc for every project. Specifically avoid 100% of what they say
Honestly how can you be creative or make a good film with all these "Rules".
It’s gone so far that I’m nearly always distracted by subtle political nonsense in modern movies. Sometimes I wonder if I’m overly sensitive to it and if it’s really there at all. I’m hyper aware of it and even minor things that used to not bother me are now a huge turnoff.
I love stories about people who are outsiders or somehow different from me, but making it a given this way is a certain way to make sure that the stories will be canned and with zero virtue or beauty to be found anywhere. Screw. You. Disney.
And these awards shows change their rules when they want too. Look at the masterpiece that was “All Quiet on the Western Front.” I remember when the BAFTA’s said that your film had to have diversity to be nominated. But that film was so incredible, that the BAFTA’s and the Oscars just threw out their rules. And BAFTA’s gave “All Quiet on the Western Front” ever award and it won the most awards for a Netflix film at the BAFTA’s, and the Oscars. It almost won best picture at the Oscars. So Hollywood is entirely full of shit.
Obviously, neither Godfather or Godfather Part II would qualify for Best Picture, today. However, would they be allowed to have Jewish actor, James Caan, play an Italian-American? What about Italian-American, Alex Rocco playing the Jewish Moe Green?
I was arguing about this with people on Reddit (I know) and it’s bizarre how they twist themselves into pretzels to justify that it hurts no one and no one is excluded. And I’m over here basically just saying the same thing over and over again and it just doesn’t click somehow.
I can understand while not agreeing with an argument that it doesn't hurt anyone, However to claim its not exclusionary is delusional
Redditors are masters of mental gymnastics - they would claim 2+2 = 5 if state wanted them to do it.
