It's funny (well not really but you know what I mean) because for all Disney's inclusive talk, the quickest way for a hit cartoon to get the rug pulled out from under it and get its future seasons truncated is to introduce LGBTQ content. Just ask the showrunners for Star vs the Forces of Evil (fifth season canned, fourth season rushed to finish the story yet unaired for months after completion) or The Owl House (third season replaced by "specials," second season left half-unaired for months). According to reports, Disney execs claim it's because they prefer episodic, ha-ha shows to extended dramatic serial stories, and yet somehow Amphibia and The Dragon Prince have not felt the hammer.

Disney doesn't pick a side, it seeks to exploit all sides as best it can.
