I was wondering why there wasn't a lot of buzz after Lightyear came out. So I skipped over to my dear friend's Disney+ account and started the film. 10 minutes in I knew exactly why the film was not given the same love as any other Toy Story tale:
Buzz's closest friend is a black lesbian named Alisha.
And, from what I've gathered, it seems the fandom absolutely fuckin hates her for existing. They keep saying shit like "if you go woke, you go broke." As if conservatives have never lost anything or everything for spouting hate. As if the mere existence of queer people is "woke". I could go on all day about the ways in which some white people now use "woke" to describe anything they don't like that challenges their way of thinking but we have things to do.
As a black lesbian named Alicia who has been watching Toy Story movies since 1995... the fan comments stung a bit.
It was like they were yelling at me, telling me I shouldn't exist, and if it were up to them I wouldn't.
