@mekkaokereke i think it's at least partly a matter of demographics
companies like Disney see people like DeSantis gleefully push legislation that will murder youths in the name of protecting Christofascist comfort zones (e.g. child rape) and they're like "bitch, that's our target market you're fucking with"
newspapers, publishers, and academic organizations, on the other hand, sell to a crowd that largely thinks social progress should have halted in the '50s, if not earlier
