Recently, Maria Zakharova and a number of Russian media announced the intention of Disney to increase the number of LGBT certificates in their cartoons. Their share will allegedly be half of the total number of heroes. We checked whether the company promised this.
March 31, 2022, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova in her Telegram channel She saidthat in Western countries there is no case to the same before they disfigure their own children. Then she quoted the following text from RT: “In Disney, they found a“ main problem ”-there are too few LGBT characters in children's content. By the end of the year, their share was decided to increase to 50%. The representative of Carey Burk, representative of the corporation Kary Burk, said about an increase in the number of “inclusive” characters. One of her children is a transgender, the second is a pansexual. ” In RT, in turn, they referred to the Daily Mail. The words of Burk and the increase in the share of LGBT characters were also told on sites "Rossiya newspaper", Super.ru, News.ru, Eadaily, "Picabu" And "See", bloggers Roman Alyokhin And Tatyana Storozheva, and also in public "News", "Radio shame", "My Russia" And "Great Russia - this country cannot be defeated!".
Separately, we mention two slightly different versions of history. For example, according to public "Anti -feminism and -LGBT"Burk said that "before the end of the year in Disney projects (and especially on Disney+-a streaming service for children), the number of LGBT characters will be increased by 50%." And Sandra Smith, leading the Fox News channel, Rethered The words Burk are as follows: “The head of Disney wants 50% of all the characters to be gays, otherwise they will not be sufficiently represented. Now ask yourself if you think that this reflects American society. ”
March 28, 2022 took place Large online collection of Disney leaders. It was also attended by the aforementioned Carey Burk among many representatives of the corporation - President 20th Century Fox Television, incoming The composition of Disney General Entertainment Content. After a couple of days, Burk’s video was posted on the network, and a small excerpt was published in the social networks of RT. Only in the video there are no words about an increase in the share of LGBT characters up to 50%.
Record on your Twitter Published Conservative activist and journalist Christopher F. Rufo. Earlier he More than once He saidthat “waging a moral war against Disney”, and its goal is to destroy the company's reputation and configure its customers against it. Also RUFO Rejects critical racial theory (a set of ideas, proclaiming Racism is an integral part of American history). In his tweet with the video, he signed that Burk “wants at least 50% of the characters to be representatives of LGBTKI (lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, quarrels, intersexuals, asexuals) and racial minorities.” About LGBTKIA and racial minorities Written And on the Daily Mail website, where the RUFO video was also posted. However, in the video, Burk only mentions 50%once, and without context it is not clear what she meant, because the record does not hear what the question was asked. Below our complete and practically literal translation of her words.
“I act here as the mother of two flood children (yes, I have a transgender child and a paneling child), as well as a boss. And this topic bothers me very much, because over the past couple of weeks I heard so much from many of my colleagues in open forums, in emails and telephone conversations. And I feel the responsibility to speak not only for myself, but also for them ... She lies with all of us. Last week we held an open forum at 20th Century studio, which over the years has released truly incredible innovative stories about the LGBTKI community. And there one of our leaders rose and said: "In our content, only a small part of the main characters is a quira." And I thought: "What? This cannot be!" But then I realized that this is true. In our plots, there are very, very many LGBTKA characters, while still lacking them on the main roles. There are not enough stories where gei characters are just characters and where the plot does not spin around their sexual orientation. For me it became a revelation. I can tell you that if this awareness did not come, then I, as a boss, and my colleagues may not have focused on this. But now I will definitely pay more attention to this issue. I know that we will give everything. And I hope that we (damn it, excuse me, begin to go my 50% tears) will not let each other turn back. ”
Under the post of RUFO can be found numerous Comments With claims and requests to say when the video speaks of an increase in the share of representatives of LGBT and racial minorities to half the number of characters. In response to criticism RUFO Laid New tweet: “The publication The Bulwark released A whole article, in which my message is called the theory of the conspiracy that Disney "wants at least 50% of the characters to be representatives of LGBTKI and racial minorities." Although everything is right on the Disney website. ” In the post, in addition to the text, there is link The Disney Reimagine Tomorrow campaign, in which online publication was held, and the screenshot of the web page. “By 2022, 50% of the main and secondary characters in Disney General Entertainment projects will be from insufficiently presented groups,” the picture says. Note that to Disney General Entertainment Content Relate Only television projects, and not only for children, but also for adults.
However, this screenshot was made several months ago, now the text on the site is somewhat changed. Now there It is said The following: “We strive to inspire a more inclusive world, rethinking how we tell stories and who tells them. Our intention is to expand access and diversity in our industry by accepting inclusive standards in all Disney General Entertainment departments and film studios by the end of 2022. Our goal is to increase the representation on the screen, behind the frame, in advertising and not only. ” In this formulation, we are already talking about not only TV projects, but also about films-for example, from Marvel, Lucasfilm and Searchlight Pictures.
As an example given Inclusive standards adopted in ABC Entertainment in September 2020. There, category A, consisting of five points, is responsible for representing the screen. Clause A1 reads: "50% or more basic and secondary characters should be from insufficiently represented groups." At the same time, in order to comply with the standard of group A, you need to perform at least three out of five points.
The main question remains: who, in the opinion of Disney, is considered a “insufficiently represented group”? To answer again, go to the official website We read the companies that “historically insufficiently represented and protected communities include Americans of Asian origin, immigrants from the Pacific islands, dark -skinned, Latin American, indigenous peoples, representatives of LGBTK, people with disabilities, veterans and women.”
Thus, in the original statement of Disney, the company's desire to increase to 50% of the characters from insufficiently represented groups is expressed, including not only sexual minorities, but also various peoples, people with disabilities, veterans and women. Then, on the network, this was reduced only to representatives of LGBT and racial minorities, and as a result, in some posts and the media left only the mention of the LGBT community.
