Disney being woke is laughable. They're at least 20 years behind society with norms.
Also, the idea that wokeness is ruining media is hilarious. Bad writing and production is ruining media. The companies slapping woke themes on top of their unwatchable shows and movies are hoping that will carry their shit productions to the finish line.
As Matt Lech pointed out, Disney "wokeness" comes from the rank-and-file animators and writers, the executives are actively trying to crack down on it (and are likely funding the right-wing media campaign against it). Afaik much of their international market is pretty socially conservative, or at least the decision makers are, they probably try to suppress anything that would trigger social conservatives so that international edits are cheaper to produce.
