Go Woke? "Just GO!"

Disney/Pixar people pay for being Woke.

Pixar Animation Studios, a studio owned by the Walt Disney Company, has laid off 75 of its employees, two of whom were with the studio for over 25 years....

 ...The two veteran employees of the studio are Angus MacLane, an animator who directed Pixar's most recent film, Lightyear, and Galyn Susman, who had been with the studio since its first film Toy Story released in 1995, according to an exclusive by Reuters.

MacLane's layoff comes after Lightyear, released in June 2022,
was a financial failure, with a smaller box office performance than those other Pixar films — coming in at just $51 million in its opening week, and grossing $226.4 million overall. The movie features Pixar's first same-sex kiss, and faced public backlash for not having Tim Allen reprise his voice as the iconic Buzz Lightyear. ...

It was the Queer Kissy-Face, not the Tim Allen thing.

Note that the executives who ordered up a "woke Lightyear" are NOT fired.
