Was Walt Disney based?

[Ratboy Genius]

The man himself, not the company.
Their franchises weren't always woke.

Depends on what you consider based, there's videos of him tearing apart the communist party for spreading rumors that he was anti-Semitic, other than that we know he loved his country and his god and built his own empire. So you be the judge

I don't think one drives an ambulance through WW 1 without developing a certain amount of pragmatism and cynicism. If you didn't come out an angsty faggot poet, then you probably came out based.

We'll find out when he gets out of the fridge.

The rumors of him being anti-semetic (which still get parroted to this day, and are even referenced in otherwise good media like The Simpsons) were spread by a couple of communist Jews buttmad that Walt opposed unionization, it was like a proto cancel culture

I still recall that gay wasn't considered "family friendly" as recently as the late '90s.
