Oh? I haven't heard a lot about the behind-the-scenes stuff. And I've liked a lot of Pixar movies, but I haven't really loved many of them. A Bug's Life and Monsters, Inc are probably the ones I liked best, but they're still far from perfect. (My next Pixar rant/essay is going to be on The Incredibles. It's a much more enjoyable movie if you assume that Helen also wants to get back into saving people, but feels like she can't, and so internalizes her anger and/or redirects it to Bob when he pulls that shit, though it would be even more enjoyable if it were entirely from her POV and about that issue.)
I know, right? Unless they're triggered by the word queer, though even then, why they would include the word they're triggered by instead of talking around it is beyond me. Transphobic fuckery, blech.

On a side note, I saw one of the replies to your blog post. WTF with the scare quotes around genderqueer? JFC
