According to Keating, Disney would be better off focusing on telling stories that touch the hearts of its audience. Likewise, the Disney shareholder stated the company essentially shot itself in the foot by giving in to pressure from left-wing activists.
Keating’s statements come as the CEO of Disney has vocalized an interest in putting LGBTQ+ content in about half of its kids’ programs going forward. This has led to criticism from people who believe small children shouldn’t be learning about sex and gender politics.
Some parents have also gone on record saying they’ll boycott Disney.
Bad news for Disney’s shareholders?
Disney shareholders will very much feel an impact if the company’s stock decreases in price and/or value. This is something that Keating is trying to keep from happening; although, Disney is certainly under a lot of fire as it stands now.
The passing of time will be what determines whether or not Disney follows the advice of at least one of its shareholders.
There are many Disney customers across the political spectrum. Yet, if the company persists in promoting left-wing politics, it’ll end up losing a sizable amount of its audience.
