Part 4/6:
Inside the panel discussion, participants emphasize that while Disney's recent decisions may seem like steps towards moderation, there remains a profound distrust among consumers. Previous actions are far more entrenched than simple policy changes, and for many, demonstrating a true commitment to change will require significant action over time.
The concerns extend beyond just the corporate governance issues to the changing dynamics within the Disney parks, where familiar forms of address have been replaced with what feels to some as overly casual or impersonal language. Past cast members shared their experiences and the discomfort from directives that prioritize neutrality over respect and tradition.
