Amac Reports: "For all the election headlines in 2022, one of the most significant political developments of the past year may not have been in the voting booth, but in board rooms from New York to Los Angeles. After years of wokeism dominating U.S. corporate culture, conservatives saw some encouraging signs this year that the left’s grip on the business world may be slipping amid mounting backlash from everyday Americans."

“One of the clearest examples of this phenomenon was in Hollywood, where Tinseltown’s obsession with injecting wokeness into everything from commercials to major blockbusters appeared to finally catch up with studios. Since 2019—the last year before the pandemic—summer box office numbers have plummeted a remarkable 21 percent. According to the Wall Street Journal, the summer of 2022 marked “the lowest haul since 2001.”

"Movie studios’ disastrous year was led by films like Toy Story spinoff Lightyear, which drew controversy over a lesbian kiss scene between two of the film’s animated characters. Disney filmmakers had originally removed the scene because it was unnecessary to the story, but re-inserted it in an apparent protest of a Florida parental rights bill. Film executives also ditched Tim Allen, a rare outspoken conservative in Hollywood, who voiced the Buzz Lightyear role in the original Toy Story films."

"Another 2022 Disney film, Strange World—which was lauded by the media for including the franchise’s first gay main character and contained a storyline chock full of woke messaging about climate change—similarly amounted to a “historic bomb” for Disney."
