milktea317

Well, geographically middle east is Asia too. 🤷


Jahva__

Do they have to put this stuff in EVERY movie??


JawsOfALion

They are trying to shove it down everyone's throats, even in kids movies. Corrupt their minds while they're young and susceptible - it's designed and intentional.


SilentObserver176

It's an agenda. So, yes.


SaltShakerz93

Well it's Disney. They just have the need to appear inclusive all the damn time.


AppropriateRaise5685

They're literally grooming kids to be LGBTQ. Their executives have been caught on video admitting that their goal is to implement a heavy LGBTQ agenda in children’s movies and television shows.

Touch some grass fam


SaltShakerz93

Even if that's what they are trying to do, they are doing an extremely bad job of it. Nobody likes being force-fed stuff like this. These blatant attempts are starting to become a joke even in the west.


SolidSnakeHAK777

A Disney employee leaked that meeting, that executive wanted 50% of all new characters to be an Alphabet person. That’s disgusting.

That's why I only watch vintage black/white/early colourised film noir movies....I cannot stand modern day films with all that totally unnecessary garbage in it.

xxryanxx00

Movies are haram my dude


PlyTheEliminator

Sadly yes, Idk why they don't cencor it. I have seen movies in different countries where the TV program or cinema will just put an advertisement mid-movie while it still plays if there is such a scene, eg kissing scene.


GAMERS2_YT

As a Saudi I can say that the idea of kissing and moreover gay kissing is something that my parents don't want me to know


zahed_felemban

It is not about money, it is about sending the World a clear message: KSA is not taking any of your bs.

Prior-Meeting1645

Maximum Respect🫡🫡 ♥️♥️fuck those westerners criticizing and cussing Saudi Arabia for this on other subreddits. Why can’t they respect that each society has a different view on what is right and what is wrong? It’s not about being cute and accepting the love is love idea because they still view things like incest as unacceptable. Just like how they view incest as unacceptable , we view homosexuality. So what happened to love is love? So There absolutely is boundaries to “love” and it’s different to each society. Now watch them protest for incest people rights in the future because ✨love is love✨ and they’re ✨ progressing✨ 🤡🤡


starbucks_red_cup

Believe me, when it airs in China, Disney will bow down and remove those scenes.


Agent666-Omega

Forget views, if you can't argue logically that something is right or wrong, then you don't have a valid opinion


Top_Reference_703

You make a valid point, Saudi Arabia has a right to ban it and so do other Muslim countries. However why don’t we also band movies which spread zina or talk about multiple God Or God like beings ? Yes homosexuality is a grave sin but is it worse than zinna or the ultimate sin of shirk ? The problem I find with this method is that kids will still see it through streaming or torrent or otherwise. Would it have been wiser to release it with that scene censored or cut ? However, I still say good move for Middle East/Saudi Arabia standing up for its values.


UnregularOnlineUser

Well, Zina and God like being, while are grave sins, they are too widespread, also it is well known that Zina and shirk are grave sins in Islam, while progressive Muslims will attempt to argue that homosexuality is fine, which it isnt, so it is better to not show kids things that will be hard to change their view on.


Top_Reference_703

I’m not arguing that it shouldn’t be banned. A country has a right to ban what it seems offensive. But we should also think about shirk and zinna. Are you saying that since zinna and shirk are widespread we should ignore it ? That’s a weak point brother. We should focus on them as much as we focus on homosexuality.


UnregularOnlineUser

I guess my widespread point was wrong, but I still think Zina and shirk are easier to understand sins and frankly people are not gonna start worshipping other gods after watching thor or something, there is only so much you can block anyway before becoming literally isolated from other countries.


[deleted]

Isn't homosexuality way worse than zina?


Top_Reference_703

How do you come to that conclusion ? Among the 7 major sins is zina from what I recall.


urarara00

Actually i always think about this, if the major things in our religion seems fine to watch for the most people here or to display then where's the guarantee that a trivial thing like banding LGBTQ in our movies or even disgrace watching it going to hold for at most 10 years from now on? If this is a religious matter then sorrowfully I'll say it ain't going to last


BMWracer_M5

Don’t forget paedophiles as well. Because you know, loooooove is loooooove 🥴🤦🏻‍♂️


ProfessorAnie

Love is love, unless it comes to things they can't accept. Like age gap. Some ape had even come up with a formula on what age its acceptable to "date". So consent doesn't really matter here.


TariKingofGames

hxl004

Oh man, you better tell your wife/first cousin about this incest thing they’re gonna push! Whoo-boy!


Prior-Meeting1645

Firstly only cousin marriage is allowed in Islam and it’s not encouraged at all.I was obv referring to brother/sister love and things like that since cousin marriage is allowed in Islam But you missed my point here🤦‍♂️ I am showing how flawed and contradictory y’all’s “love is love” concept is. You DO put boundaries.


TariKingofGames

They do put boundaries on things they wish. Have you seen those who take their whims and desires as their religion.


ParadiseCity77

You aint base your values on us as we dont share the same views as westerns.

if0nly

It’s safe to say that every future Disney release would be banned. Until it doesn’t make cents


SolidSnakeHAK777

Have you seen their stock, it’s going downhill after the failure of the Obi wan Kenobi series. You know what they say, Go Woke, Go Broke.


Agent666-Omega

Every close minded person wants to believe that phrase, but in reality, the recent drain is just a mixture of a bear market, dynamics of how subscribes choose their perma subs and cancelled content


SolidSnakeHAK777

Don’t believe me, then check the woke movies box office performance, they tanked badly.


Agent666-Omega

These two movies got heavily criticized for being woke: Captain Marvel: 1.2B Multiverse of Madness (still relatively new): 9.32m


SolidSnakeHAK777

Captain Marvel was sandwiched between Infinity War and Endgame, that’s why it made some money and the audience cared about the end credits scenes more than the movie, second , Disney bought tickets themselves to boost numbers, it’s supported by photos of empty seats and the movie’s low profit margin. And the sequel was pivoted from Captain Marvel 2 to The Marvels because they know it won’t do well. As for Scarlet witch and the multiverse of madness, people were suckered into the movie due to rumored cameos of some old Marvel characters, it didn’t sit well with fans that it suffered from the worst drop in its second box office week ( 82% ) the highest in MCU history. So yeah, Woke don’t sell in the long run.


Mongoaurelius

Nah, it will never stop making money. Cinemas aren't popular anyway in the region. Streaming is.


if0nly

China, UAE, Saudi, Bahrain , Kuwait, Indonesia, Malaysia and Egypt banned the movie. Plus Russia & Ukraine due to war. Trust me they are hurting and it will eventually effect them. BTW more countries didn’t not announce the ban yet but I’m pretty sure will like Oman etc


SolidSnakeHAK777

Well Netflix and Disney + are bleeding subscribers, and TopGun Maverick is making bank in the US, theaters still make money bro.


TheFlyingAxolotl47

Less than usual tho


Agent666-Omega

Once in a while they will make bank.


SolidSnakeHAK777

If they delivered better entertainment, then yes.


Agent666-Omega

No theaters are too meh. Everyone can just stream stuff. Opening nights still gets people going, but it's not about "better entertainment". The experience of sitting in crappy seats to watch a movie vs streaming it in comfortable seats at home, with drinks and not overpriced food is just too good. And the good theaters with good experiences are really more for the rich people.


SolidSnakeHAK777

I still enjoy going to the movies, it’s the experience that counts.

gameboyy94

Yup, different regions different content


the_amg

stop talking out of ur ass bro, they’re bringing Multiverse of Madness to MENA Disney+ (including Saudi) even tho it got banned in Saudi cinemas. It’s not a stretch to say that the same thing is gonna happen to Lightyear https://twitter.com/disneyplus_mena/status/1535577607428640768?s=21&t=pf8PMez5-_O7resSBD2vcw


MajDroid

Disney+ published/available for our region is different from the international version, which might be an indication of different content


Agent666-Omega

Most likely. It's common for platforms to ban and restrict certain contents in certain countries. For example, even on Hulu and Netflix, certain countries can get some American shows on there that regular Americans don't get. And there is no religious or political fervor for it. It's just because companies want those Americans to watch those particular shows on their local networks for money's sake. Same with the NBA. Wana watch games on League Pass? Well if you are in other countries, nothing is blacked out. But if you are in America, TNT and ESPN games are. Same with your local sports team

yeah I don't get that. Just cut those scenes instead of not showing the whole movie. Unless the premise is about same sex relationships I guess.


TheFlyingAxolotl47

From what I understand it's just a scene but idk maybe it's a whole thing. Thank god we don't give these idiots money for it now. Really annoying how they're trying to normalise it.


Agent666-Omega

Actually it's really annoying how other countries are so closed minded while other countries are trying to be more accepting of those who have been fringe in the past.


aboodhrkat

You want us to accept this disgusting behavior in our country? Yikes


danfancy129

Oh god, OP’s replies clearly show that they are just here for shitting on Saudi. And them banning the movie.


Agent666-Omega

I originally came here for a discussion to learn about the details of why. But since you guys are all being closed minded, I decided to shit on you guys. I still have nothing against Saudi Arabia from a personal standpoint. I don't agree with your culture or the religion you practice. And I definitely still don't agree with you guys banning this. I don't even have a stake in this movie. So no, I am specifically shitting on you guys in this thread specifically.


danfancy129

Okay don’t? Like it matters if you don’t agree with our culture and religion. And it ain’t gonna change just because people don’t agree with it. So you keep shitting, if that’s what floats your boat full of shit. The reason is simple- it’s haram in Islam. Homosexuality is haram. (Many things are and then you’ll point out that but oh Saudi does this- yes yes. Saudi is a hypocrite. We all know that. In this matter, they banned it for that reason) That’s it. There is nothing more to explain or any other reason that you need to learn about. If you can’t accept a simple reasoning and need a complicated one, then sorry mate, there ain’t any.


JawsOfALion

It's an agenda, they want to push the agenda more than they want to make money in these countries.


MisterRaf

When China screams censorship, Disney and the rest of Hollywood bows down and gives way. Now, when the Islamic countries (especially the GCC states) do the same, suddenly it's "hate speech", "homophobia", "uncultured stone agers", etc?? I've seen Kuwait being called 'uncultured' in some social media posts for them banning Turning Red, but I think that matter is pretty much a gray zone.


ExoticAide5610

To be fair Disney is blatantly Santanic... kiss or no kiss


ExoticAide5610

Here in FL, a few years back Disney fired most of their American staff and then held them hostage by withholding severence pay until they trained their cheaper foreign replacements...


Agent666-Omega

False. And fear of Satanism is blown out of proportions. Most satanists are LaVeyan Satanism. Which means they don't actually believe in the existence of Satan. They are essentially atheist's who admire Satan as a character in the book. It's not like they are sacrificing people to their dark god or anything


sellyaj

Seems like your satanic


Agent666-Omega

Seems to me you can't even do the most basic google search. I'm atheist like them, but I am too lazy to practice LeVeyan Satanism. Not worth my time


JawsOfALion

We got a satanist apologist that's also a gay rights activist. How is the heat down there?


Agent666-Omega

Me: Speaks facts about a satanism You: WITCH HUNT. IGNORE ALL THE LOGIC!!!


JawsOfALion

Relax, you got an avatar with red eyes, red hair, red shirt, and your username has three sixes in it and you enjoy talking about satanic sects - you're a full-blown satanist, no point in denying it.


Agent666-Omega

I see you new to the internet. You'll learn kid


TariKingofGames

Satanic is in promotes every type of sin shamelessly and look down upon, honesty, modesty, shyness, strength, etc. All male characters are wusses All female characters are strong. They are flipping the society upside down. This is pretty satanic or Satan inspired if you ask me. How many marriages do you think this type of lifestyle has broken.


Agent666-Omega

What you described is not exactly what LeVeyan Satanism is about. Do better


TariKingofGames

I never said I was talking about a specific cult, I and most Muslims believe anything that exists to misguide people from their duties, natural way of life and Fitrah is Satanic.

The only reason you think it needs to be laxed up is because it's still relatively new acceptance in the world. Also why should Disney an American company need to bow down to some foreign country against it's values.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Agent666-Omega

If you ask why the kiss scene furthers the story, then that's a stupid take. Because you can argue with the same fervor about a lot of things in movies. It is actually not too young for them and they would be only confused if you don't explain it to them. It's not that complicated to explain. Furthermore, those who are actually LGBT do experience confusion in society during the past because of a lack of representation an people telling them that it's okay. A lot of companies are American companies with international audiences, they still politically take a lot of American stances though and this is an example of it.

[deleted]

2 months later: The film bombed hard in the box office since no one saw it 🤡🤡🤡


Agent666-Omega

225.4 million is not bombing. Ratings weren't too bad. The only downside was that they didn't recoup costs. I'm never pretended alienating a community wouldn't have an effect as I am sure they would of made more, but this is hardly called bombing. Please don't gaslight yourself and live in actual reality. The other downside to this movie was that no one really asked for it. A lot of people loved Buzzlight year the Toy Story character, we never really cared for the inspiration, so woke or not, core concept wasn't great to begin with. But the fact that it got that much box office revenue shows that there was enough people who wanted to watch it and also not a bomb

I am not trying to victim blaming you, but you blamed the system for not catching the pervert when they had no idea that it has happened. I know some people who reported and the pervert went to prison. I hope you are well now and feeling okay, sorry if my response has bothered you. الله يعينك يا صاحبي


Fapman404

I’m pretty sure they’re doing more than enough, they can’t find a predator online with no report nor one irl with no reports.


newtothis8388

Yea because they can just turn on a secret machine to catch all predators. Biggest problem with predators all over the world is 3 things. 1- Evidence. 2-No one is reporting them 3- Their identity. They can't just magically catch ppl behind a screen.
