This will not end well for Disney, there were certain historical characters removed from Sora 2 because people kept making racist videos that are hard to censor, and it became increasingly unhinged. This feels like another circular investment where Disney is hoping to make money back I'm sure. On the other hand, assuming they do the freemium stuff, I look forward to making a few videos of my daughters favorite Disney princesses "talking" to her.

I actually straight up don't think they give a shit anymore.

I think decorum works in an environment where decorum is the norm, but we have entered a political moment where that is no longer the case. And I think that this kind of thing bleeds so heavily into culture that they no longer give a shit about having their characters next to it.

They have enough plausible deniability; they did not create the content. I think that's enough for them, in this moment.

Yeah, basically Disney invested a billion dollar in Pregnant Elsa Spider-Man Beach Castle.

They may be viewing this as an inevitable outcome with open models/fly-by-night providers/providers in more liberal copy-right jurisdictions.

They can either invest in mass classification and enforcement operations or gain some revenue share from it.

They are likely making informed decisions. Disney/Pixar are players, not bystanders.
