It seems like there’s a few threads going on.

I think pulling the openly trans storyline is bad.

I think having the “openly” Christian character is totally fair and reasonable.

We shouldn’t be in the attitude of pushing out character identities, except whole cloth bigots. I’m not a Christian, but having openly Christian characters is fine with me.

I’ll add a caveat that it could even be a good thing if they actually bring up Christ’s words. You know: caring for the poor, giving shelter to aliens, loving your enemies. I think a lot of Christians would benefit by having the words of Christ more present in their lives.

It would have been cringe and counterproductive

Disney isn't a company capable of creating good art anymore. No matter who they try to pander to, it will be shallow, tired, and insufferable.

I'm with you. Any identity politics crap that Disney would do would be super cringy.
