Summary:

  • Ben Shapiro criticized Disney’s diversity efforts, predicting a “lesbian Elsa” in “Frozen 4”, causing backlash and factual errors.

  • Critics point out Shapiro’s focus on LGBTQ+ issues over pressing political matters and his support of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.

  • Despite acknowledging his error, Shapiro continues to stand by his convictions against LGBTQ+ inclusion in media.

Conservative media personality Ben Shapiro spoke about Disney’s diversity and inclusion efforts once again on The Daily Wire’s “The Ben Shapiro Show”. Shapiro has long espoused homophobic views on his platform, and today slammed Disney for what he predicts will be a “lesbian Elsa” in “Frozen 4.” He claimed that the move would mark “the end of Disney.”

Little did Shapiro know that there are only two “Frozen” films currently, with a third on the way. Critics of the media personality were quick to point out the factual error on his show.

Hours after the clip’s release, Shapiro acknowledged his error, but stood by his convictions.

Ben Shapiro And Anti-LGBTQ+ Comments

Others criticize Shapiro’s constant focus on sexuality, particularly among the LGBTQ+ community. He tends to focus on supporting the current wave of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation passing through several U.S. states rather than other pressing political matters.

Shapiro continues to support the highly controversial bans on drag performances across the country. Notably, a judge temporarily blocked one such ban in Tennessee this month. The media personality asserts that such performances are inappropriate for children.

In response to Shapiro’s repeat homophobic rhetoric, one Twitter user used AI technology to turn the conservative host into a drag queen himself.

Today’s commentary comes a matter of days after Shapiro joined a growing list of Republicans and right-leaning celebrities in criticizing Anheiser-Busch. The beer giant manufactures the popular Bud Light. The beverage recently appeared in a sponsored post from transgender TikTok creator Dylan Mulvaney.Conservative critics of the brand continue to misgender Mulvaney and the trans community as a whole.

Many are reminding critics of Shapiro to keep their focus on pressing legislative issues. While Shapiro continues to support homophobic causes, abortion bans and mass shootings continue to ravage the nation, taking lives in their wake.

Disney has yet to comment on Shapiro’s criticism of LGBTQ+ inclusion in their films.

The article attributes it to the organizers, which covers you.) — **Creator Frankie LaPenna fights ‘Terminator’ robot in first human vs. robot bout** SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A man stepped into a fighting cage with a 6-foot humanoid robot, and the robot came out on top. Robotics startup REK staged the human-versus-humanoid kickboxing demonstration in San Francisco on Friday, Sept. 18, putting creator Frankie LaPenna inside a cage with the machine. The opponent was the 80-kilogram (176-pound) EngineAI T800, a humanoid built to look like the Terminator. LaPenna, wearing a helmet and chest protector, landed a few punches before the robot kicked him in the head, according to the official video description. Footage shows the robot kicking him across the cage as spectators outside the ring looked on. “We just made history with the first Human VS Terminator robot fight,” REK posted on X on Sept. 20, adding that more fight footage is coming. The “first” label comes from REK and LaPenna and has not been independently verified. The robot was not fighting on its own. REK’s robots are not autonomous fighters, and the event showcased remote control and mechanical stability rather than independent combat strategy. The bout was part of REK’s work on a virtual reality combat game in which people remotely control humanoid robots to compete against each other. REK founder Cix Liv came to robotics from virtual reality and is building a sport that links virtual competition to physical machines. The LaPenna match pushed his format beyond the company’s usual robot-versus-robot fights. Online, viewers debated whether a trained fighter would fare better, with some predicting human-versus-robot bouts could reach the UFC within five years. — Note: AP datelines use a dash after the city.
