Disney is creating a brand new distribution segment with Mulan-- blockbuster pay-per-view events on a paid subscription-on-demand service. The timing is great for them with movie theaters being closed. The Hollywood Reporter found 19 percent of Disney+ subscribers surveyed in the poll said they'd be "very interested" in purchasing Mulan, with another 23 percent saying they'd be "somewhat interested" in buying the title. That’s an estimated 25% of subscribers buying the $30 Mulan rental, but it could be as high as 50% of their installed 60 million subscriber base. I’m expecting $300 to $400 million in rentals for Mulan, especially considering they’ll likely add at least a million paid monthly subscribers who sign up to the service to watch it! Here’s my full take!

Lucasfilm maintains a “diversity grid” system for determining diversity ratios throughout their programs. Just as interesting, the source who works with researching market reactions to franchise toys has informed us that Lucasfim’s diversity grid does not differentiate between “white” or “Caucasian” and “Latino” or “Hispanic”. As a result, Lucasfim properties supposedly can use a “Latino” or “Hispanic” character in lieu of a “white” character and still fulfill their “white ratio”.

Rumor: The Lucasfilm Character “Diversity Grid”
https://thatparkplace.com/rumor-the-lucasfilm-character-diversity-grid/
Rumor: STAR WARS Boss Kathleen Kennedy Using Strict RACE QUOTAS On All Stories And Casting!
If you want to know what’s going on behind the scenes with major studios, the marketing and merchandising partners are often the first to find out.
A toy industry expert and insider with more than three decades of experience at a Disney merchandising partner has been leaking information to us on a fairly regular basis. Now, the level of spice is being cranked up by more than a little. According to our anonymous source, whose identity we have corroborated but keep anonymous for purposes of protecting their career, Lucasfilm has a very interesting system going on behind the scenes. It lines up with other things we’ve seen and heard out of Disney, specifically out of their DEI initiatives “Reimagine Tomorrow” and “Stories Matter”.
Our source is telling us that Lucasfilm maintains a “diversity grid” system for determining diversity ratios throughout their programs. Just as interesting, the source who works with researching market reactions to franchise toys has informed us that Lucasfim’s diversity grid does not differentiate between “white” or “Caucasian” and “Latino” or “Hispanic”. As a result, Lucasfim properties supposedly can use a “Latino” or “Hispanic” character in lieu of a “white” character and still fulfill their “white ratio”.
On their diversity grid (which is not written down, but is part of discussions at project ground zero), Latino/Caucasian count as “the same thing”. So basically, Diego in Andor is considered Caucasian because he hits two birds with one stone. Totally crazy.
Furthermore, having too many “white characters” in a show or movie is allegedly not permissible. And apparently that’s part of what caused major changes in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. Having the show be about Anakin, Luke and Obi-Wan in the original script treatment had resulted in a show that was deemed “too white, too male”. As a result, Luke had to be cut out of much of the show in favor of Leia, even if the narrative didn’t make terribly much sense with prior lore. Also, since Darth Vader and Obi-Wan couldn’t be dismissed easily, significant screen time was allocated to a woman of color. It’s not that diversity is bad at all — it’s that good stories with characters fans love can’t be had if they’re “too white”. That seems nonsensical. Yet stories, movies AND merchandise all need to reflect this diversity grid at Lucasfilm.
An international merchandising agent had the following to say to our source:
White men are so rejected at Lucas that they would not authorize a TV show starring Obi-Wan, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. It was forbidden because there were too many white men. Even though they knew less people would watch and buy, they had to rework and delay production to replace one character by a female character…
Again, in my opinion, diversity is a wonderful thing. It should be lauded. But as with all things, when a concept is taken too far, it becomes malignant. Water is healthy and should be used to hydrate, but even water if taken in excess becomes toxic. The sun is the source of all life, yet sitting outside in July with no shelter from the rays of sunlight will cause pain. So too is diversity. Everything needs parameters. Having a diverse background for people working in and around a project is important — but if you can’t tell a great story with great characters because of diversity, you’ve not constrained the concept to its appropriate usefulness. Imagine if Wakanda Forever had to have some artificial quota of Asian actors that made Wakanda be not so much about Africa but about multiculturalism. That would artificially change the story in a way that isn’t appropriate. When Luke, Obi-Wan and Anakin can’t be featured in a story due to a diversity grid system, there’s a problem.
Of course it isn’t just Lucasfilm. As we’ve been documenting, this unconstrained paint-by-numbers system of setting arbitrary race quotas seems to extend throughout The Walt Disney Company. Again from our main source:

In the United States, Disney pushes their social justice agenda no matter how much it damages business and customer relationships, but in tiny foreign countries, they will censor their biggest movie of the year to please local authorities, just to get a few more dollars! Makes zero sense.

Marvel alleges an Instagram user illegally posted an image from the unreleased “Captain America: Brave New World” movie — and it has gone to court to try to make Instagram disclose the identity of the account’s operator.
Marvel filed a subpoena request May 7 in U.S. District Court California Northern District in San Jose, asking the court to order Instagram to identify the person or people behind @canwegetsometoast. Marvel alleged that the account “published a copyrighted image from an upcoming Marvel Studios motion picture, ‘Captain America: Brave New World,’ without authorization.” The Disney-owned studio is seeking the subpoena pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Video game consultancy organization, Black Girl Gamers, threatened to take legal action against That Park Place following a report that it appears the company discriminates in their hiring practices.
In an article titled “Forspoken Consultant Black Girl Gamers Appears To Discriminate In Their Hiring Practices While Claiming They Are Being Harassed,” it was posited that it appeared that the organization was discriminating in their hiring practices based off a post the organization made on X that read, “Looking for Black Women Content Creators that make Dungeons & Dragons (DND) content for some potential brand work! Hit us up!”
The post was also shared in an article titled “Children’s BBC Host Jules Hardy Calls For ‘Final Purge’ Of Gamers After Boycott List Created For Consultants Black Girl Gamers.”
Following the publication of these two articles, Black Girl Gamers took to X to threaten legal action against That Park Place. The organization wrote, “We’re addressing the recent allegations published on thatparkplace.com about discriminatory hiring practices within Black Girl Gamers. These claims are false and were made without prior fact-checking or verification from us or our representatives.”
“Black Girl Gamers operates as a contracting organization that collaborates with both freelancers and content creators from all backgrounds to work on various projects and initiatives to amplify underrepresented voices in gaming and make the community more inclusive,” the organization continued.
Next, they wrote, “Contrary to the allegations in the article, Black Girl Gamers has contracted freelancers of all races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnic backgrounds.”
“We have also included representation of all genders and backgrounds in our content, at our events, and in our marketing, consultation, and research projects, some of which are not publicly disclosed due to NDAs,” it posted.
The organization then claimed, “Evidence demonstrating our commitment to diversity and inclusion, including our non-discriminatory hiring practices, is readily available and easily searchable.”
“Upon discovering these false and defamatory allegations, we have taken steps to obtain legal counsel to take action against the publication and journalist, as well as subsequent content creators who have reshared the false allegations about our organization,” the company posted.
Black Girl Gamers on X
“We will continue to pursue further action against anyone who persists in spreading false and defamatory information about Black Girl Gamers, its founder, and its contractors and partners,” the organization stated.
“We value the talent and contributions of all our collaborators and we are committed to continuing to do so. Thank you to our community for the ongoing support,” the organization concluded.
Following the publication of this legal threat, former World of Warcraft Team Lead Mark Kern dug into Black Girl Gamers’ alleged hiring practices that are “readily available and easily searchable” and noted that he could not find a published hiring policy on their website. On top of that he shared that the company’s job board section of their website requires a password to access.
Kern wrote on X, “BGG goes on to state that evidence of their non-discriminatory hiring practices is ‘readily available and easily searchable.’ So I did some searches for BGG and “hiring policy” or “consultant” and was not able to find anything. In fact, the website has no published hiring policy that I could find. In fact, job posting listing are PASSWORD protected, and require that you first reach out to BGG to obtain access. This does not seem ‘easily searchable.'”

Incredibly popular video game streamer Nickmercs responded to a post on Twitter expressing support for the progressive protestors. Nickmercs simply said: “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”
Call of Duty decided to cancel his promotional deal for the crime of wanting to leave little children alone. It’s hard to imagine a more unjustifiable, inexcusable decision than that.
