It's in USA Today, so of course they have to put this in the Opinion section and make it very clear that the views expressed in the article do not necessarily reflect the views of USA Today.

A spokesperson confirmed to news outlets that Disney had cut "a few lines of dialogue" from an episode that involved a character's gender identity. The company provided this statement to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter: "When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline."

Fair enough. As a parent of four children who has watched zillions of movies with my kids, I appreciate this.

But I'm not naive enough to think that Disney made the decision to pull this potentially controversial storyline because they respect parents and their decisions. I mean, sure, they do. Wink, wink.

Instead, this sounds like a business decision, and it's a solid one.



USA Today would never have published this just one year ago, even in their opinion section.

We're winning.

Technically no. That's why it's in the opinion section.
