Disney told Pixar to make Inside Out 2’s Riley less gay

The apparent hesitance to touch on LGBTQ themes storylines in particular affected Inside Out 2’s development, according to several of our sources. Multiple people recall hearing about continuous notes to make Riley, the main character of both Inside Out movies, come across as “less gay,” leading to numerous edits that ramped up around September 2023 after the resolution of the WGA strike. Sources describe rumors that there was special care put into making the relationship between Riley and Val, a supporting character introduced in Inside Out 2, seem as platonic as possible, even requiring edits to the lighting and tone of certain scenes to remove any trace of “romantic chemistry.” One source describes it as "just doing a lot of extra work to make sure that no one would potentially see them as not straight."

The hot dad is much likely to turn a boy gay than Riley turn someone a lesbian

Disney should not force every film to feature LGBT+/diverse characters. Their intention is so obvious that I sometimes feel cringe... It's like there's a formula when they write the screenplay.

"Disney forced animators to remove LGBT+ suggestions" ... sure, maybe they'll put 2 moms in a background scene lol but they are not Miss Woke.

Literally like you’re telling me that it wasn’t an intentionally accurate representation of a young girl crushing on another girl like what
