If Disney was really woke, they would acknowledge that the greatest threat to freedom is straight white conservative men who think they're inherently superior to everyone else, and encourage women and minorities to fight back against them instead of ignoring that they exist at all.

Nah, you're close, but no cigar. No examples to back the thesis.

I know Walt Disney was a fascist but back in the 90s it honestly felt like Disney was getting away from all that.

That's a high quality avatar right there.
Repeat after me:

Disney does not give a poo poo about politics. They only care about money. If fascism and white supremacy ever swing back around as being profitable, Disney will follow.

I'm pretty sure most (non-chuds) are well aware of this and just leaning into it to piss off the chuds more. I know I am.

Chuds are the only people who think Disney cares about politics. Because they're very stupid, like Nazis tend to be.

Americans, as a society, lean woke. That will pretty much never change from this point forward. Corporations will always lean left to maximize profits, and chuds will never, ever understand this, because our broken political system doesn't favor the majority and they'll never rub the required brain cells together to figure that out. Ever. It will literally never, ever happen. Because they're loving really stupid.

Who will they contribute to / vote for? That probably wildly varies.

Who are they currently pandering/advertising to? This is what I'm talking about because that is what this conversation is about. This is exclusively what the chuds pay attention to and get triggered by.

I never understood why the word “pandering” was considered bad. “Oh god, aren’t you sickened that that corporation is pandering to you?”, motherfucker they’re pandering TO ME. I could only be enraged if I was being ignored and others were being pandered to.

Post-Eisner Disney is a quantity-and-merchandising over quality mass marketing entity that only dabbles in politically challenging content insofar as it can gather maximized profits according to the vast army of market demographic analysts that their shareholders listen to like modern oracles of Delphi.

While the lack of sincerity should be called out and given high visibility, there's at least a little comfort to take in the notion that if Disney believes they can cash in on diversified casting, it's what the most people with enough money and public focus to influence things actually want.

Good plants sometimes thrive in poo poo, after all.

It depends on how they pander to you. For example, a clothing company might try to pander to women by making more dresses instead of giving them the same wide variety of clothing as their male counterparts. Pandering is bad if it's based on stereotypes and biases.

Pandering is only bad because people find it patronizing, I know I’m better than anyone who has ever at any time had an advertising job, so I never feel patronized, because those people are all pieces of poo poo like in Glengarry Glen Ross, and they NEED my patronage. They are at MY mercy.

Imho pandering is also bad when it tricks (naive, in all fairness) people into thinking that the company shares their values, like when a company plays up their tax-evasive charity to get hippie money or whatever.
